Kettulampi now

and then

i went canoeing late afternoon
there is much more open area on the lake
not much to tell
admire the photos

during the weekend almost all the snow melted in inari region
the rivers are flooding
but today more normal 6-10 degrees came back
i helped Sari with excel
i collected even more cigarette butts and garbage as the snow is gone
only a few guests in vasatokka
calm day, as almost always

this photo was taken at 11 pm

last weekend was 4 days long, with continuous beautiful sunshine

so i hitchhiked to western lapland to visit some couchsurfer hosts

near muonio i was hosted by transyilvanian girls, born and raised in germany

they spoke hungarian with german intonation and transylvanian vocabulary, very cute

true hitchiker-volunteer-adventurehunter sisters, guarding 7 huskies in a beautiful house in the forest

that region is 1-200 meters higher above sea level than inari, still much more snow

in kittilä i stayed with an idyllic family with 3 children, aged 1.5, 6 and 7, i went mountain-biking to the endless taiga

excellent times and language training

the way back from kittilä was tragic, it was mothers day, i could progress 10 kilometers in 3,5 hours

finally, late night a granny drove 160 extra kilometers into the sunset (on the northern horizon) to take me home

pictures from yesterday, canoeing

and eruption

today i went to ivalo to the bank and i bought a bike for 50 euros instead of have my hair cut

i rode back to inari

bikers paradise for 40 kilometers

moderate roller coaster, immaculate asphalt, cars about every third minute

lappish landscape and air, wearing t-shirt only

even if the bike dies in two days it worth the money

the day before yesterday i went to inari
the woman who gave me a lift, said that 2 hungarians live in the village
i went to the docks at the lake and chilled there
i walked back on the road, i was picked up only for the last few kilometers
i didnt even try to hitchhike
this scenery is not complicated, but still catching
i was amused by fresh air and enjoyed the abandoned road

yesterday i was in inari, i checked the world famous PAPANA bar, there i met fairly intoxicated sami women
they were nice to chat in finnish with me
russian playboys cruising with an enormous american truck took me back to vasatokka

yesterday, 2nd may 23:46

one morning
