Day 7a - Tornio by different wheels

Following a moment of inspiration, yesterday (from.me, for a change) we have opted to take a rest day and take ourselves (and our bikes) to Tornio by coach.

This means we skip some of the Finnish-lapland wilderness (very pretty, but also a bit repetitive) and get to the Swedish border and coastline two days earlier.

Plus, with Simon developing 'cycling palsy' in his hand from all the hours of gripping handlebars and my knees feeling tender, it gives us a good chance to recover.

It's a bit of a zig-zag, as we had to take a bus further into Finland before getting anotherback towarda Sweden, but we'll arrive in Tornio, fresh and cycle-free, by mid afternoon.Weiterlesen
