Finland - Kuusamo

Hei !!! departed Lapland and Rovaniemi at lunchtime, drove south - east first following the Kemijoki (Kemi River) the longest river in Finland at 512 kms. Stopped at a forest area called Auttikongas, to view a waterfall and rapids, lovely weather today some cloud but mainly sunny with a nice breeze. Later arrived at Posio, and the Pentik Pottery, here there is a nice Country Life Museum and a Coffee Cup Museum. Just a short drive then to Kuusamo and our destination. Dinner in the Hotel, Salad Buffet for starter, followed by either Salmon in a cream sauce or Reindeer Meatballs .... all very nice. Well its of to bed now catch you again in a couple of days ... no internet tomorrow night !!!! staying in Nurmes at a Karelian Bomba Village. (www.sokoshotels.fi) and click on Nurmes.
