A trip to Kautokeino, a Sami centre. Yet another recce trip for the last day of our mini expeditions. We broadened our knowledge even more by taking a trip to the local Sami museum. Outside the museum were mock huts and houses that we could look around and really grasp the Norwegian way of life. Mentioning no particular names, 3 YLs (not including Tim) thought it would be funny to lock Nikki in one of the huts! Releasing her very quickly when they realised it was too quiet without her.
The trip back from Kautokeino was broken up with a visit to Pikefossen Falls. Sami legend has it that a reindeer herder threw a young girl off the falls when his reindeer she was looking after drowned. We managed to get some good photos of the only waterfall on the Finnmarksvidda.
BSES HQ receives expedition field updates weekly so check back every Monday to see what has happened in the week gone by.
