Day 4

Don't under estimate the roads in Finland nor the time it takes to travel them. We had only 475 km through Finland but the roads were unbelievable. The direct line through Finland was part gravel and pavement which was perfectly OK with us but halfway in the gravel route the road was closed as they were rebuilding a bridge. OK we did see a road sign for road construction but the way it was positioned in the intersection we figured it was for the other road. LOL jupp we had to backtrack about 20km for the detour.

Then back on pavement well we felt that the gravel roads were smoother. I laughed at the speed limits, 100 on a surface that a vehicle could never do without losing control immediately afterwards. Dah!

Both border controls for Finland are unmanned so they we easy sailing.

Once in Norway we were so burnt out from the roads that once we hit Kirkenese we turned south looking for the first place to pitch the rooftop tent.
