| After the two men left, A lady in her 70s appeared next and said, "If
you wanna go back to Äkäslompolo, you should retrace your way which you came from |
|
or head for Ylläsjärvi and get a ski bus or a taxi to Äkäslompolo there!!" So I selected the latter and parted from her thanking warmly. |
|
Route ③ |
| About 2 hours later, when I reached the point in front of Ylläsjärvi, I heard someone shouting to me, "Hey!! Hey!!" So I looked back. Then I was like "Oh!! The Grandma!!" |
|
There she was, the lady who I saw at the last junction!! She said, "If
you continue this trail, you'll see a junction which leads to two different distinations. Don't take the left!! Go straight!! |
|
and you'll get to the pizza restaurant "OSTO." You can have some warm drink and get the ski buses there," writing "OSTO" down the snowfield with her pole. |
|
I asked her, "Why are you here??" being surprised. Then she replied, "I couldn't let you go alone so followed you all the way stealthily," pointing at me with her nice smile, and said, "Good Luck!!" leaving me. |
She looked much older than my mum but could catch up with me easily without getting out of breath from point ② all the way. She seemed very tough!! So Gentle, Strong and Cool!!!!! She is a Super Grandma!!!!! |
---------- Arriving in Ylläsjärvi Safely ----------
| About 20 minutes later, safely I got to "OTSO," which has nice mood, and hurriedly ordered a cup of hot berry water.  I asked a staff to show me the bus schedule. Oh!!! 3hours to kill?? Hmmm... I gotta wait for 3hours?? I can't wait that long... so decided to get a taxi to Äkäslompolo and asked the staff to call for a taxi for me after taking break. |
|
She asked me, "Where did you come from??" I replied, "Äkäslompolo" She continued, "Oh!! Äkäslompolo?? By ski?? It must've been a quite trip!! Aha!! I see!! You're too far from Äkäslompolo so can't go back there, can you??" laughing out loud. |
I was frozen to the bone and very thirsty that I had as many as three cups of hot berry water and she laughed out loud seeing me like that.  To be continued!! |
