Today we got up aroung 9 so we could go climb mount Keimiö (Keimiötunturi). We had to take the car to go there. The mount was about 610m high (I'm sorry, I have no clue how tall it is in feet. all I know is my height in feet :P). In front of Keimiötunturi was Jerisjärvi. In Lapland, it's also quite warm; I was surprised, i admit. And the sun doesn't go down in summer(I already knew that).
Anyway.
Once we reached the top, we could see the small Keimiöjärvi (lake Keimiö). When we were climbing, i saw one reindeer! haha. The landscape was breathtaking. you really feel like you are at the end of the world, and it feels like you can actually see that the Earth is round. What a beautiful day!
After that, we went to Pallas hotelli, where we saw some reindeers too.
On our way back to Muonio, about 3 km from Sweden, we saw 3 reindeers on the road! It was funny to see them walking on the road not even scared to get hit by a car.
We again had sauna and went to sleep peacefully. oh, and I have to call back Wellu sometime soon!
