Oulanka   

Hi Everyone

Greetings from wild and beautiful Oulanka. It has been a great weekend even if the rain is more or less a constant factor.

But luckily for me the mosquitoes have made a plan. Yesterday when I went canoeing on the Oulanka river, welcomed by millions of mosquitoes whenever I set foot on land, I got stung by a mosquitoe on my eye lid. This morning I woke up with a swollen eye. So now I can only see half of the rain! :-)

A blessing in disguise?

On Friday night I heard the sound of running feet and when I looked out of the window I saw a whole heard of reindeer running pass. It was an amazing experience!

Tomorrow I will continue to Lappland, and am looking forward to it.

Have a great week!
