Very interesting tour in Hossa National Park, very close to the Russian border. Once again we ate plenty of berries, visited rock carvings from the Neolithic period, enjoyed good food during the breaks and of course saw reindeer. Short refreshments in the form of rain showers were part of it. Camera was always well packaged, smartphone takes photos quite well too...
