...Hung out in Jokkmokk for a day......or to be more precise we hung out under the verandah outside the campsite kitchen because it rained all day!....It was just like wet welsh rain.....Ruth has been bitten really badly.....We reckon a flea got in the sleeping bag in one of the cabins but who knows??.....She's ended up with about a hundred bites.....We packed the bike quite early then headed for the Jokkmokk Sami People museum.....It was pretty interesting and had some good vintage films playing......Then we hit the road.....The first 50 miles were dry, then the rain started.....Rode in rain for about 100 miles until we reached Pajala, not far from the Finnish border.....Then we found a hospital and Ruth got to see a doctor.....She's been given some medicine and the swellings are going down.....


....Then rode to Levi in Northern Finland....It's a really lovely Ski Resort although there's not too much snow here now....We found a cosy log cabin with it's own sauna.....80 euros for three nights!.....Sorted!.....We've got our feet up....Just watched Doctor Who with Finnish subtitles!......Finland seems so much better organised than Sweden.....There's even vegetables in the supermarket......Ruth's bites are getting better......Really looking forward to riding the bike tomorrow with no luggage!.....If Ruth goes to the spa, there's some forest tracks by the cabin that look pretty tempting......
