Yepp, we made it. We are now officially in the Arctic. How do we know? Well, the mosquitoes and little flies are eating us alive, the days are even longer and the speaker on the ferry announced it when the ship crossed the Arctic circle. And if you look really carefully, you see a globe on the shore. We looked really, really carefully, but we didn't see a line where the Arctic circle came down the hill and hit the shore. All we saw was a rainbow spanning over some hills.
And best thing was, that we got that ferry ride for free. Somehow, nobody thought of charging us for the ride and so we didn't have to pay for the longest and most expensive ferry ride on road 17 :)
The day started with a wet surprise (again), but as the days before, it stopped raining and the sun came out. The road number 17 is still fantastic, good to drive and the scenery is still very, very nice. It starts to look different now, the woods climb only a a few above sea level and then every thing seems to be rock and moss. And the tree look different as well, smaller, kind of a hobbit version of the trees we know. And the light up here is really fascinating. Not so much around lunchtime, but in the long mornings and evenings the light is awesome.
