We slept in till 9 am this morning so we're hoping the jetlag is done with.
We drove north most of the day, stopping at a roadside cafe/souvenir shop for pancakes with cloudberry sauce, whipped cream and icecream.
Once we hit the Arctic circle we started seeing reindeer on the road.
We were thrilled, but I guess it's the equivalent of getting excited by seeing cattle on the road, since they're domesticated here. Some of them even wear collars.
We stopped in at the airport in Ivalo to check up on my luggage, but the airport was deserted, closed till the next flight comes in. Ain't nobody here but us
reindeer.
Later this evening we got an email from the Ivalo airport; our luggage is waiting for pickup tomorrow.
Our friends Bryan and Debi were waiting for us at the Ureniemi campsite in Inari, just back from a trip up to the Arctic Ocean at the end of the road in Norway.
This camp reminds me of a fishing resort in Canada, with small cabins along the lake and Coleman canoes for rent, with the exception that there's no picnic tables for tenters.
Debi spotted our bird of the day, and Leo got a great picture of this golden plover's beautiful plumage.
