Winter tourists at the lighthouse

A happy quintet from Niedersachsen is this year’s first visitors. Klaus Peter is a lighthouse buff that has seen lighthouses on all seven continents, whereas Heinz visited Nordkyn 40 years ago (carrying a film camera; his highly interesting footage may be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fwhg1IPQb0)
Together with the two gentlemen are their wives Heike and Gabriele and Heinz’ and Heike’s son Felix. Happily enough, the weather gods have made no trouble, and they report of a comfortable, calm and interesting stay at the northernmost lighthouse of the European continent.

Heinz, paying a visit to the school in Gamvik, was not present at the moment
