Attention! Donkey Husbandary Area! *)
Hossa – Suomussalmi ~ 90 km
Right the opposite of the stage yesterday was today: My hip hurts, my tendons hurt, I had 75 out of 90 km of strong wind in my face. Everybody who would have read the thoughts going throgh my mind on that day, would never in their lives start a trip like this.
I really was doubting, if I would reach the Campsite at Suomussalmi, even if I wanted to go further that day (Yes of course I knew I would, but I didn't really believe...)
And even if I really didn't feel fine today, it's everytime astounding how Finnland can recompense things that it does to you. Weather wasn't very fine that day, but when I reached Suomussalmi, sun came out from behind the clouds, offers you a color explosion. And the only thing you do, is stopping, getting of the bike, admiring this picture, saying: „How BEAUTIFUL it is“ and imediately you forget every effort you have gone through.
Nights start getting really cold, and also really dark. For the first time I'm using my flash light for writing my diary. The camping is much fun, instead of reindeers you can find geese and donkey walking around. The drinking water is slightly yellow, construction machinery are standing all over the site. But the view and the sunset were beautiful.
*) A Hommage to: "Attention: Reindeer Husbandary Area" (Rentierzuchtgebiet)
... and how to eat Blueberry Jam: in proper style on "mjykt bröd"
having lunch in the middle of nowhere No. 893
At rivers like this you can find a grilli for everyone to use (the pictures are not so nice, so you just see the river....)
Silta over Salmi
He's moving around just like he wants to...
Sunset, not just for me...
