Just for me...
Voimala - Pyhäjärvi ~ 130 km
Same as yesterday: at 11.45 I started my bicycle day. 3 hours later I arrived at Sodankylä, for having some money, some food, some Voltaren (I don't know if it was just because I obviously was a bike tourist, or it is always like that in Finnland, but I didn't need a prescription from a doctor...and one does in Austria...) and some Internet at the tourist info.
The last days I followed the Route E75, and it was quite unspektacular. just going straight ahead, I didn' have to look at the maps. Somehow it's nice because your thoughts can go strolling around, but I was glad when I could leave this street for some more adventurous streets. I passed some more Winter sport ressorts (dead...) until I reached Pyhäjärvi („Holy lake“). The camping site was beautiful, as nearly every finnish and norvegian campsite is: with a beautiful view of the lake... with a beautiful sunset, which I looked at without taking pictures, just to have it for me...
When I was at the reception, where I could use the internet for free (what a service!), the owner came to me and told me, that it would be very cold tonight, and if i wanted, i could stay in the 1-mökki (that act as kitchen and toilet for those who stay there with tent. Don't miss the chance! So I could decide, which of the eight beds i wanted to use. Very nice, also because I could recharge my battery for the camera...
After having some tea I sank to bed and fell asleep immediately – at about 1 am... like all days now...
I was wearing this all for the night...
A small hiking path across the swamp
Click: Ya, right, once more... red, finnish houses...
The first "don't-panic"- Reindeer I saw!
Click: birch in backlight
anti-reindeer-passing-fence
Click: Broken cork screw tree
This is right the camping...
Click: Once more
