How to drive in the Northern Finland?

All packed up - bike and Beetle

Im thinking I will star calling my Beetle as Mansikki- Strawberry. Mansikki is traditional cows name in Finnish. Mooarvaleous name.

Remember that northern land and Lapland  is one huge reindeer herding area, and when meeting them, it can be good idea just stop and let them walk by. 

And if you have reindeer accident remember to call 112 etc. Heres quidance for reideer crash in Finland: https://porokello.fi/en-in-case-of-a-reindeer-crash

And then I had good night at Pudasjärvi beach- nice view and toilet, perfect place for campervan traveller.

Cowcamp and Im in love

Cows, milking, sheeps, chickens, good food, good company, cheese and pastries workshop, and the best sauna at Mustikkamäki. And pop-up northernmoo exhibition.

Life can be good now and then.

Time   to carry on my round trip- heading to Rovaniemi.

Visit Ilomantsi

    Ilomantsi and attractions-secondhand shops, vineyard and vinetower, orthodox church and Marimekko-Ilomari. 

Happy to found single records in mint condition, Annikki Tähti finnish singer from old days. 

Ilomari and lady of the shop where full of love and kindness, please,  go there if ever visiting Ilomantsi.

But the funniest thing in this under 5000 population town was I saw 3 new Beetles ( black, white and brown) and 1 vintage one. We waved and smiled, so nice to drive Beetle and found relatives ❤️.

Cowcamp with Beetle

About 486 km, took 6 hours with one stop. Beetle was excellent, easy and user friendly. Love her, really, my pearl.

Bronton, futon mattres, barnclothes, rubberboots, some #cowart and happy mind - my cowcamp travel packing.
