Vasatokka, inari

Here we are in the middle of nowhere (Vasatokka, Inari)

Monday night, we left by train from Kokkola. Surprisingly well we are be able to move with a few hours of sleep.

The purpose was that the Italians would come at five to Finland, so that we could continue the journey to Inari at six. But as surprising it is the Italians were late. Italians are always late, okay now it was not their fault because there was a hurricane at the airport they flew from. In Vasatokka we arrived at two in the night time. At that point I heard that bed was screaming my name.

New morning, new tricks

“Early” wake in the morning. Quickly breakfast to the stomach and outside to play.

No matter how many name game we had, it is impossible to remember all the names.

You don't have much time as it was already lunch. Like this it is in every camp: food, food and food. And still everyone complaining that they are hungry? The evening we warmed the sauna and all went to the cold sauna. Why cold? But that´s okay everyone was having fun. We were jumping at the sauna for a swim. It is interesting to hear that it was the first time for many, because in Finland, it is routine.

Raise your camera

Now we are getting to the point, morning started during morning exercise and after that we went to the lapin tupa (theory room). Were the Italian leader start by telling us how to use our camera. Yea it was interesting to listen, at least everything what we was able to understand. PIIP PIIP PIIP, what is that horrible voice? At least it is not anymore cold sauna. quickly everyone out of the building, we need wait just a second and we was able to go sauna again. Nina got her shampoo from the room and when she got back there was a naked man in the sauna showers.

Yesterday we went to Inari to see the center and to get to know Sami culture at a museum. The prices were something in the village – you had to pay over 3 € for a bag of candy. There wasn’t much to do in the village, Niko went to eat a pizza and others were eating their snack. It is good that Sara knows how to swim because she “fell” in to the water when we had water fight.

*#¤*%*&*/ you could hear to the other side of the lake when the Finnish girls go canoeing. But Was the fault with the paddlers or the canoe? Who knows… But that’s it, maybe we’ll go to eat now.
