Tana and Karasjok

I'm still up north, I'll be here five more days. This weekend I've been visiting my cousin in Tana, which is about 180 km. north of here. I was also filming a bit while I was there cuz they are having a marked up in Tana with things to buy, things to see and competitions.

Yesterday I went to see snowscootercross. It was a lot of fun :-) Then we went to the marked. Some of the people there were laps, or sami, the native people in norway. A lot of them are raindeer-farmers. I bought a pair of shoes which they make themselves. They make them out of raindeer skin and wool. If you look at the sami-woman she has a pair of similar shoes.

Today I drove back to Karasjok, but had to make a stop on the way to do some filming again. Right now there is a dog sled race going on here. It's not as hard as the one in Iditarod, but it is the one which the northernmost sled dog race in the world.

After I got back to Karasjok I went for a short crosscountry ski trip, enjoyed a sauna, and had a nice meal at the restaurant here. So I've had a very nice day :-) Now I will go outside to see if I can see the northern light.
