Day 80 – Driving South

Journey: Honningsvag – Inari (Finland)

Today was a driving day, having taken the big detour up north we needed to come south again so said farewell to Gustaf and drove back along those stunning roads, through the various unlined tunnels (some of which were 7m long!) back into Finland.

We kept hoping we would find little walking spots to stop at enroute, but the places we stopped at were very boggy or just not really walking spots. One was an odd little Xmas shack lol.

Arriving in Inari we went to the Siida museum which gives interesting accounts of Sami life, the local animal and fauna and some of the natural phenomena like aurora borealis and the midnight sun. This evening I’ve yet to go for my run but once done will settle down with a hot chocolate and read my Sami mythology book.
