Thursday 13 February: visiting the Sami museum

Skoganvarre- Ivalo 207 km

View from the cabin this morning was stunning.




Today we took the nice scenic route trough one of the many natural parks. Temperatures dropt rapidly went we drove into the mountains. The lowest temperature reached was minus 23,8 🥶. And that was pretty cold.

At the beginning of the route we had the first serious damage of the trip. We stopped for a picture when we heard a strange ticking noise, it looked like the fan came loose. Tighten it didn’t work and when we took the fan of we saw that the pouli had ruptured. 







We put a message in the group app and luckily one of the other teams had a spare. They were also right behind us so the problem was fixed within ten minutes.

So after this minor delay we continued our way making frequent stops for photos and museum visits.

We crossed the border again, this time back into Finland again.


We also went back to a hotel where we were last week because Gertjan forgot something there. Besides the hotel was this cool old campervan all covered with snow.




And offcourse we stopped along the way for more pictures. 






We stopped once more to take the extra insulation out because temperatures got less extreme and in the car it was getting way to warm.






And then we visited the big Sami museum near Inari.









After this museum we drove to the cabins for tonight. It was the same place as were we where two years ago, with a petrol station in front.
Tonight we cooked our own meal, spaghetti, sausages and salat. 




And then it was time for the enough drink, outside because in Finland it is forbidden to have you’re own drinks inside a bar.


We ended the evening celebrating Mathijs 18th birthday in their cabin and then it was time for bed again.
