~5.9 h driving
🧭 Walk me through this day- 🗼 Kattilalahti lintutorni10:58
On the route, right on the road, 105 km into the trip.
Chosen because barely off the road.
💡 Park outside the old town and walk in. Medieval streets and 7 m vehicles end badly, and city parking is the most avoidable cost of any trip.

- 🛒 Stora Coop Kalix15:11
Shop for tonight — full supermarket — a proper shop. About 107 km before where you are sleeping — the last shop on today's road.
💡 Supermarket car parks very often have a height barrier around 2 m — check the entrance before you commit to it. An edge-of-town or hypermarket site, or the goods entrance, is usually the way in with something tall. Buy for tonight and tomorrow's breakfast in one stop — it saves a second detour in the morning.
