In the first year living a motor home we went from Milan to NordKapp a trip that took us 8 months. When we tell the stories there are some really common questions that will always surface. Here we try to address all the questions.
Why North Cape❓
Well, thanks for the question! 🤷🏻♂️ To be honest, there were no particular reasons that made us choose North Cape, but it starts with a funny story.
When we were looking for a camper, the guy who sold us the camper said that he had visited the North Cape. Enjoying my ignorance I said — “Oh cool” .. but I didn’t know exactly what he meant with “Capo Nord”.
At home, I tried to figure it out, and when I saw on the map that it was the end of the road that goes most northern I thought — “Umm this is interesting, why not?”
Having a goal as a guiding star is always a good approach. Once that is defined, things will start to unfold almost automatically, giving a “shape” to the plan.
How did you planned for that❓
We didn’t do a comprehensive plan – it was more like an iterative approach plan, attack, adapt.
How do you find places to stay❓
We use an app called park4night. And no they are not paying us for that.
Countries visited
In our route we passed through the following countries
Italy
We left Milan on 11 Jan 2022 heading to Spain. As it was winter the idea was to reach Spain as soon as possible and we made it in 2 days.
Spain
Our first stop in Spain was around Barcelona area, we head to south Spain looking for warmer places. We spent 3 months in Spain – From January until April
Portugal
We arrived in Portugal in April and the it was still cold, we moved up to Lisbon quite quick as I had to flight to Brazil. After spending 15 days in Brazil we continued our route heading Spain once again. We spent 2 months in Portugal – From April to end May
France
Second passage to france was with better weather, we crossed the country in 1 month
Luxemburg
Really quick stay, just to refill the tank with Disel and sleep – 1 Night
Germany
We started to move quick and in 2 weeks we crossed Germany even if we’d like to stay more
Denmark
Probably I should have skipped Denmark from this list. We crossed the country in a day
Norway
We reached Norway in the of July and stayed until end of August. It was a 6 weeks period in which we went from Larvik to Nordkapp and back
In total it took us 8 months to go from Italy to the Nordkapp
