1. 52^ Stage : Inari – Karajok

 

2. Map construction

 

3. A brief light rain and wet roads ... but then the sun comes out soon

 

4. Pedalo Solo only 1 innumerable series of strange animals I cut the road;this picture looks like a huge hare!!

 

5. In the woods next to these houses (closed)actually I just saw a kind of lupachiotto

 

6. The few houses are all closed cross, I assume houses are used for fishing or hunting

 

7. A shy elk hides among the branches while my luck x xò proves the sunshine

 

8. the sun peeks and reveals another unusual animal = ... a man in command

 

9. The reindeer are rather more daring and walking comfortably on the road

 

10. The shepherds Sami the breed and leave to graze everywhere

 

11. immersed in a natural environment is extremely rare, almost singular find a walled enclosure

 

12Various road signs ... also signal the danger of crossing of animals

 

13. Each 50 km c/a si può trovare una specie di autogrill ( non sempre aperto) con la caratteristica tenda dei pastori Sami

 

14. In questi locali si può trovare diversa oggettistica esposta… non si sa se, x souvenir o x necessità qui c’è perfino una vecchia slitta

 

15. Un vecchio scarpone in pietra funge da portavaso

 

16. Le margherite viste ritratte e una volta tanto al centro dell’attenzione si… commuovono

 

17. Pure io lacrimo poco dopo..quando sulla perentoria deviazione x la Norvegia,lasciando la StataleN°4 imbocco saliscendi spezzagambe

 

18. Predo la Statale N° 92 direzione Karajok (Norvegia)

 

19. Ormai ne ho percorse di strade x lungo e x largo..ma questa è veramente particolare.. tanto è “ondeggiata”

 

20. La strada è talmente ondulata, precorrendola that you have the distinct feeling ke moves;Unfortunately no photos can give a good idea

 

21... .on And down like a roller coaster ( they too already traveled =) but in a much smaller space

 

22... So that you can not even see if the other way sopraggiunga someone or something

 

23... rare, and in any case of reduced length are the few straights. X often have to zigzag up with the danger of crossing other vehicles

 

24... And even if on purpose those few cars seen around the day I crossed right here

 

25... They exceed other packages minor then you pedal slightly falsopiano

 

26.. in an increasingly arid and desolate environment x the "cold"

 

27. alleluia a snack bar open ... finally ... stop

 

28.2 ... "Young" managers serve me with gallantry and diligence.. just let that go bump in to account ...

 

29Quantify ... do not know how much I owe him.. and I even ???

 

30Providential ... here comes the grandfather who does not take their place but on the contrary, maieutically them "supports" in the recount spending

 

31... .non Manca the alone tent Sami ...

 

32But ... in this case is the filing of a pastor but to a friendly fisherman

 

33Pedalo ... re-tundra along the classical (in Lapland "tunturia"! that is plain without trees

 

34. The tundra is composed of mosses,licheni,dwarf shrubs and a few sparse birch;Winter has T ° rigid, while in the short summer growing mushrooms

 

35. The soil is always damp becomes ideal pasture for reindeer; In fact, the sun even in summer it is never too warm

 

36. In the summer the Arctic Polar Circle the sun never drops below the horizon and winter is a long night lit only by the dawn boreal

 

37. Long rides, tell me that here are "risk" only the first 15 days d 'August, in fact here the cold and bad weather is still in..auge

 

38... I come to the frontier is missing although only 20 km at the end stage, I stop to eat ... Pizza 39.. only that the young manager of the grocery store, the pizza bakes me at the time

 

40…se da una parte è un piacere dall’altra perdo del prezioso tempo x evitare il violento nubifragio che poco dopo mi cadrà addosso

 

41.Il tempo x scattare una foto sul Confine…

 

42…poi acqua…acqua e ancora acqua.. dappertutto sotto sopra e perfino nel bagaglio.. Benvenuto in Norge

 

43…solo nella confluenza tra il fiume Jiesjohka e Tana ormai nei pressi di Karasjok… la pioggia si fa intermittente e meno gelida

 

44.La chiesa di Karasjok è la + antica di tutto il Finnmark(1807)unico edificio sopravvissuto ai bombardamenti ed incendi della II^guerra mondiale.

 

45. il ponte mi porta nel centro città …stremato ed intirizzito non bado a spese e mi fermo al 1° hotel che incontro …

 

46. Karasjok è considerata la capitale della Lapponia; here are based in fact the Sami Parliament, the library, and a radio in the Sami language.

 

47 Here ... there is also a museum-park which describes the customs and traditions of the Sami people.

 

48... The houses are all wood

 

49.. in great detail

 

50..in addition to the new church with a lot of x warm fireplace there are other spaces that church from other denominations .. churches than houses???
