I always intend to start nice and early but rarely seem to – despite the fact it’s fully daylight by 3:30m and the sun rises at 4:15am. So I left the campground at 9:15 and not at 8.

The scenery has changed considerably and is mostly forests that have been punctured with hundreds of lakes, and even here, they all seemed to have a house on them. However, like Denmark, there are many empty or abandoned houses throughout. But the more people move to the cities, the more they want a summer house.

So far, I seen hares, rabbits, one dear, no elk and some cranes

Finally after 103 k and one ferry crossing, I reached my camp for the night and a gourmet meal of 2 things I think were ravioli and a pasta-ish sauce mixed with Tesco’s instant mushroom soup plus a cup of tea.
