Car rental staff telling me about their roadside assistance: if you need help like when you get a flat tire or *hit a reindeer/moose*, call this number.

Today's 400km drive included not one, but two moose sightings in the evening. One of them actually ran right in front of our car... if I didn't happen to be driving way below the speed limit, and if my partner didn't shout "STOP!" in time... *shudder*

Day 3 was long... Drove more than 400km, walked more than 10km, met 2 moose, almost hit one...

Didn't sleep well. Not looking forward to another challenging day to be honest.

Day 4: Imatrankoski - Patsaspuisto - Punkaharju - Savonlinna/Saimaa cruise - Savonranta - Kolovesi

Another great and exhausting day, too tired to go though all my pics. Car is running on fumes* and so am I. Overnight in a monastery, drank their absinthe, let's talk tomorrow...

*Really hope we have enough to last us until we get to a gas station tomorrow morning!

Day X of roadtrip... Lost count of days and day of the week. Ah well, signs of a good vacation.

One highlight: my very first horse ride! Mine was a lovely #Icelandichorse named Krapi (Icelandic for "slush") ❤️🐴
