Jewel of the Seas — Norway; Skarsvågrevva and back to Honningsvåg

Thoroughly confused yet on this day-long trip from Honningsvåg through North Cape and back via multiple stops along the way? Perhaps the map below will help. After leaving Nordkapphallen (North Cape Visitors Center) we headed back south toward Honningsvåg, where Jewel of the Seas awaited us. Along the way we made a brief stop to take some photographs at Skarsvågrevva, a mere wide spot on the E69 that allows vehicles to pull over.

Due east of the Skarsvågrevva viewpoint is an interesting in-the-middle-of-nowhere resort called Scandic Nordkapp:

Time to head back into… you guessed it… Honningsvåg:

We would spend much more time in Honningsvåg on our return 2023 trip, but even after a long day of travel we managed on this visit to hoof around town for some sightseeing.

Near the waterfront, appearing almost like a giant fishhook, is Boreas (Greek God of the North Wind) sculpture by Erling Saadtvedt. The other name for this piece is Nordenvinden (North Wind):

On Wednesday and continuing through next week I’ll show you our self-guided foot tour through Honningsvåg. Until then, here are two waterfront scenes to whet your appetite:
