Wednesday 13 August

Started on last Saturday. Today behind are 298 kilometers plus extra wanderings due to not looking at the map. Not counting....

But in the future, mindfully looking the map. It is very important even though I didn't intend to look at it much at first...

The trip has been hard but perfect emotionally. A lot has already been packed into the early days.

Physically, it's really tough overall. The knees take the weight and that's why the speed literally stops towards the evening. But we're just getting used to this.

Everything is new for a creature that is used to a roof over its head and tap water that never ends. Warm showers...

There have already been nice encounters on the road. Friendly beings with a lot to tell and advice from experience.

Trangia is a great cook. Water refill every day.

So far, everything has still gone well. Giant carries, boy pedals...

The contrast is strong. Sometimes in the middle of nowhere and back among people tired and wet with sweat:)

Finally in Luleå and a little rest and maintenance. And new tricks await... I am grateful and respect the people who are choosing this. This forces to face who you truly are. This requires guts and self care
