Unhurried evening
Maijanen - Kittilä ~ 70 km
The weather in the morning was as beautiful as the campsite and as I had only 70 km to go, I had a VERY extensive (ausgiebig) breakfast, with some more hot chocolate, fruit, bread, etc ... Njam...
The first 15 km I was cycling like in trance, thinking about my best friends wedding, planning in my mind, what we could do... "Like in Trance" means slowly, slowly with the wind in the face (once more... *sigh*), so these "only 70 km" were looooong...
For the first time the wind didn't stop when I arrived at the Camping, so at least it was an evening without mosquitos... Sun was shining so bright, that I didn't have cold even with the wind... The only thing: How does my gas cooker work with that wind? but: "Don't Panic", there are possibilities (see foto beneath). Afterwards I just layed down in the green, green grass of finnland in the sun.
In the evening, at about ten pm I was just lying in my tent (wind stopped :o( so I had to escape...) I heard something... something I know.... that sounds... like german? ... yes, austrian german! So I dressed myself once more and got out of my tent to say hello. But looking aroud there was no car with austrian registration plate (Nummerntafel) ... ? ... but looking around I saw a ... Salewa-Tent... maybe they are ... Austrians! They flew here to Rovaniemi and borrowed a car for going around in Finnland and Norway. They donated me their camping-site-map of norway and some Packlfutter ;o) because they were going to return to Austria the next day. Nice... We talked a few minutes and decided then to go to bed. because of moskitos....
Looks quite diffrent from yesterday in the evening light...
Na Kathi, do you like them more than in other pictures?
Click: Once more a bus stop offers me shelter of the rain...
Click: I never thought my KTM Life Space would be so much Living Space as it is nowadays...
Do it like Douglas Adams tells you: Have always a towel with you!
