Again stony slopes where I accidently drop my mosquito stick. Klettersteige with steel wire. Nothing for a pony. Better no sliding here. Cool, isn’t it? Tosca pulling me up hill But unfortunately also downhill. Andreas from Koblenz (Germany). Already after 2 days he considers stopping! Ha,ha I just crossed the river. Tosca enjoys herself 

Very wet ferns Very tiring route. Only still 29 km to go! Boulders between the river shore and the steep canyon wall. After 9 km. walking Ton and Eric row across the river to Sielmahytta. All wet ferns on wet soil with small gullies. Many falls in the canyon. Lapponia jungle. Is  different from 30 

Tosca has booty again. Reindeer antler When you don’t move you are lost: mosquito’s  Can I cross without getting wet feet? these entire slopes are one great creek. The clouds seem to disappear Finally a little sunny. Disadvantage: more mosquito’s. Where is the track? Don’t get lost. Fortunately another pile of rocks. Here something like

Tosca asks for attention. Lies down between my legs. Outside the sauna, in the cold wind. The photographer is trying to get me in the icy cold lake. Studying and making pictures of maps. Yesterday evening I decided to go the sauna. I didn’t feel like it, but as I am in the country of 

    Main entrance hotel Kilpisjärvi. My sleeping lodge with common kitchen and tv-room. Only wifi-place, the lobby of the hotel, where I spent much time. Last night, while I was eating two types of pasta, which I found in the common kitchen of my hallway, along with thick sausages with ketchup, which I still

There does not seem to be a central point, or it should be the in one supermarket’s petrol station restaurant, 500m. away from my hotel.
