5th day, Vuomádatgammen-Ovi Raishiin

Another morning packing together with the mosquitoes.
I leave the rain jacket on for extra protection. That means I’m sweating and probably the smell attracts even more bugs. Tough choices.
The path follows the river upstream. There are many good places for a swim if only not the mosquitoes… Ferns taller than me. After Cissaldat-fossen there are less bugs. I don’t know what changed. Some motorboats drive along the river. Noise is something new.
A break with picnic and birdwatching at Sieimahytta. There’s a sandy beach here.
I opt for gravel road before Ovi Raishiin for a change. There’s no-one at Ovi Raishiin although an extinguished fire still smokes. I make a phone call to get into the cabin (there’s a mosquito net over the bed!), wash my hair and do some laundry. Later some other visitors come to peak in through my window but I don’t do anything interesting. Just lounge on the bed and read.
