    Hike to Kratersjön

    This morning we took a short hike to Kratersjön. It was dry, cloudy, and 11° C. Almost perfect weather for hiking. The only downside was that the start is a step uphill climb and I get too warm too quickly before I have even started my hike. Otherwise, it would have been even better. The…

    Björkliden Fjällby

    Today we drove back to Sweden. The idea was, to stay at the campground at Riksgränsen. But apparently, the campsite was closed and only had season plots available. We had been shopping at the ICA close by and drove on to Björkliden which would have been our destination tomorrow anyway.I have been here before twice…

  • Svolvær

    Svolvær

    We had a nice and dry morning walk, but as we were driving to Svolvær it was raining the whole time. I bought some groceries on the way in and waited for the rain to clear. We had a nice stroll around the small town. The air is fresh, but as soon as the sun…
