Today we spent a good period following a section of Norway's rugged coast. What a difference between this scenery and Finland's forests. The weather continued cool, with a strong breeze that added to the sense of ruggedness. Low scrubby birch trees continued to be the main vegetation but with large areas of moor land as well, reminding us of the maritime provinces of Canada - not surprisingly.
Eventually our route turned away from the coast and we followed the Teno River for the remainder of the day. The Teno forms part of the border between Finland and Norway and at the town of Utsjoki we were able to cross back into Finland to get some internet and fuel.
We had been getting internet on our iPad equipped with a Finish GSM chip. But of course that does not work in Norway, so we took a small detour back into Finland to take care of some business online.
While parked at the supermarket in Utsjoki an old Unimog pulled up and we got talking to Chel the owner. He seemed to run a guesthouse and fishing guide service in town and had brought out the Mog just to say hello to us.
From Utsjoki we reentered Norway and continued along the Teno for another hour or so until we found a suitable pulloff.
