I think I misused the word tour. What it is a a set of prebooked
accomodation in different places. I think that the only 'tour' is the
trip between them (and maybe not even that as, as you say, the local
buses are good enough).
I'm not looking for particularly cold, I just don't want 35 degrees
each day (or any day).
Long standing readers of the group will recall that I drove to
NordKapp two years ago.
