Real reindeer

This morning we slept late, had great hotel breakfast and left from Koli at noon.
First we checked Koli village and harbour area. Lake Pielinen is one huge lake. Clear and beautiful.

The route to Kuusamo is straight and along there is lots of hills up and down . We made couple of pauses. One picnic sitting on rock next to lake Seitenjärvi at Hyrynsalmi. It was almost too hot there.
Soon after started rain heavily, but it stopped as soon as it started.
The reindeers are freely wandering around reindeer hurdling area, and locals told the animals come out from forests when mosquitoes are too viscous even for them .

We spotted quite many today.

After over 5 hour drive we finally checked in to Kuusamo holiday spa hotel. Now we have been relaxing on the pools, eat in and ready for a little strol outside .
