After being mesmerize by the great scenery at the summit, I skied down
to the rest point. It was easy going down but I fell down so many times to stop myself
|
because I was so scared to go down the hill full speed as all my hairs
was almost standing up.....
|
● Point ④
I took a rest there, where I also went the last time. Last year, the lady
was kind
to welcome me even after the closing time and showed me the way back to
the foot.
|
Compared to last my visit, this time, it was packed during the open hours!!
|
A kota was next to the cafe and I warmed my self up there.
I should bring my own meat next time. Haha!!
|
● Point ⑤
Suddenly, the sky got cloudy and cloudy, so I started to ski down to the
foot right away.
At the junction near the foot, There is a sign talking about wild animals
and plants.
|
This area is in "Pallas-Ylläs National Park" so I saw sings like
the picture below on the cross-country ski trails.
|
● Point ⑥
Before It got dark, I got to Äkäslompolo lake.
Just then, the sky got worse and it started to snow finally!! I was saved!!
|
---------- Dinner ----------
|
After skiing and shopping, the dinner time came!!
Today's Poro Special; Salmon soup, Reindeer stew, Chocolate cake!!
|
---------- The 2nd Aurora in This Trip ----------
|
After dinner, I looked up the sky at the lodge again and again but the
cloud stayed until that evening.
But!! When I almost gave up, the cloud got thinner and I saw some strars in the sky at about half past 10.
|
I dashed to the lake. When I got there, I saw the 2nd Aurora/Northern Lights
of this trip.
It was weaker than the 1st one, but it was dancing in between clouds in
the sky.
|
About half and a hour later, It was gone.
It was -5℃ that night. On the cloudy days, the temperature gets higher
than on the clear sky days.
So my 2nd victory made me fall asleep peacefully.... Good Night!! |
