Thursday, August 2
Quiet night, the awakening is the sky completely covered by clouds very high, so no threat of rain. I got to wake up the pace of Norway, are never ready before 10 and now I do 550 km.
The road is typical Finnish straight as an arrow, with ups and downs and trees, trees, trees. Sometimes he sees a lake as reflected in the blue sky that today is especially nice because there are so many puffs of white cotton hung up there. As you descend towards the Arctic Circle, however, the clouds are lower and in a gray and drizzly atmosphere Napapirj arrival, the official residence of Santa Claus. Apart from the enormity of souvenir shops the best thing is the post office, where all the employed are dressed as Santa's helpers. In the end I can not resist and buy a hat to show off then Lapland, on the ski slopes.
continue the journey south, until you cross the border without even stopping and the first thing you need is a huge store in Sweden Ikea. The road has changed little, only larger, with forests and fenced becomes the speed limit of 120 km per hour, perhaps more than you go to the south and perhaps it is natural to run more, boh?.
Arrival then Luleå, young and lively university town technological and here I stop to sleep, savoring the hours of darkness that now I can not wait for nearly 20 days.
