We've had a glorious breakfast this morning and are just about packed up and ready to go. I think last night marks the highlight of our trip. Finland is really showing itself from the best possible side. We woke up today to a brilliant sun and had waffles for breakfast. I didn't bring my phone so I don't have any pictures of said waffles, but here's a picture of the last hotel we stayed, an inn in the town of Åsele. It was such a classy place they served milk in whisky tumblers.
Also, here's a russian MIG.
Today we're cycling straight north to the city of Inari, close to the Norwegian border. We're going off the beaten track and onto a gravel road that cuts between two giant national parks, Lemmenjaen Kansallispuisto and Hammastunturin erämaa. What a mouthful. I expect today we'll see some of the prettiest greenery on the trip, so I'll try to keep my camera ready. Hopefully I have something to upload when we get to Inari.
It's eighteen miles.from here to there, so we might be able to make it in one day, but we're going to take it easy and pace ourselves. My knee is still fine. I had no problems with it during our eight mile leg yesterday, so I'm optimistic that I haven't permanently damaged anything.
If this is my last ever post, that means we were lost in the finnish woods, never to be heard from again.
