④ Wild Birds in Lapland
| After the breakfast, I got changed and went to the sports shop to rent the gears for cross-country skiing. It was 58 euros for 4 days last year. |
|
But!! It went up to 64 euros this time!! BOOOOO!!!!!! Started Skiing!!! But.... It was cloudy and sometime snowed from the morning,...... |
|
So I gave up to enjoy beautful sceneries and decided to leisure ski around Äkäslompolo lake to find the best spots for Aurora/Northern Lights. At about ten thirty, It was -6℃. It's warm when it's cloudy!!  |
| ● Wild Bird 1 I found a "white-throated dipper" on the bank of a lake. When I stared at it for a while, a Finnish looking man skiing stopped next to me and kindly told me that the bird is called "Koskikara" in Finnish. |
 And he asked, "Are you from Japan??" and I replied, "Yes!!" Then, with his nice smile, he said, "Do you love Finland?? Have a wonderful vacation in Ylläs!!" and left me. |
● Wild Bird 2 When I was standing and taking a rest after I skied into a quiet forest from the lake, I heard machine gun sound "ka! ka! ka! ka! ka!" |
| I was surprised and looked up the trees wondering what the sound was. "Up there!!" Then I found another bird pecking the tree. It might be a woodpecker family.  |
---------- Light Lunch? or Snack? ---------- |
The lunch time came so I dropped by at a cafe nearby.  But I was too stuffed to have lunch because of many cream puffs that I had in the morning, and also |
|
couldn't work on my appetite because of the bad weather. For now, I just had a bowl of veggie soup to warm myself up. It wasn't good looking but tasted good like curry |
and broken potatos gave me a nice texture. WINNER!! But I found a rolled cake, which looked good so I couldn't control myself and started to want to have it. |
Yay!! Even though I'm stuffed, I have another stomach for sweets lol!! To be continued!! |
