17th. I left the inn at Kemi and travelled all day in the rain, arriving at the inn at IJO in the evening. The land is very low-lying, with many bogs, few hills, numerous small streams. There is plenty of grass but it is badly cultivated. The forest is mainly birch with some conifers mixed in. Juniper grows bigger here and is very common, though the bush form also occurs. Birch, willow, poplar were turning yellow; rowans, on the other hand, were turning red; many mosses.
