The long way back up the Torn : reindeers and kilometers


Fleeing from all these mosquitoes around the tent, we get quickly at the artic circle tourist shop, full of useless stuff for us.
Time for a picture !

Weak backwind, only a few clouds in the sky, shall be nice day.





We stop at Pello for lunch under a skier's statue, unfortunately close to a very noisy snowmobile competition over a lake.

Hey ! There is a small road going north, along the river, with several fishing spots and holiday houses.

While having a pause :
“Have you noticed ?

What ?

...

Oh yeah, no mosquitoes anymore !”

This is great news, we can stop whenever we want, just getting annoyed by big flies, flying like drunked...

It's so quiet !
Although we saw domestic reindeers, we could see "wild" ones, crossing the roads without any look for traffic.C'est calme, très calme comparé à hier ! Tellement que nous verrons trois fois des rennes en liberté, sortir sans regarder de la forêt et errer au hasard à travers route et bas-côté. Enfin tous ces panneaux “danger : traversée de rennes” s'avèrent pertinents ! ^^

Nous passons aussi à côté d'un enclos avec quelques rennes.




Without any camping place suitable for our tent, we keep riding with cool conditions : sun not too hot, quiet road, enough food in the bags, still looking for THE place.

And arrived in Kolari, we haven't found any yet! As there's a guitar player in an appealing pizzeria, we go for pints & pizzas aaaaaand back on the road !


Sweden, we're back ! Empty road, dusk gentle sun, warm, and we ate enough to reach Pajala's nice camping.


That was a 2 in 1 day, 140km according to g.maps and a lot of nice pictures in the head !
