sweden, day 06
today we didn't do quite much since sonja lost the keys to our
car somewhere in narvik, norway. so all we did on day 06 was
taking pictures of the hostel's cat, going to narvik by car,
planning our next steps on the tour to finally, after hours of
planning, finding out that the key is gone. the next few hours
we spent searching in narvik for our key, walking again all the
streets and places we've been to since we left the car. but no
way, no key. luckily thommy, the guy we first met on new year's
eve providing the people at the hostel with totally delicious
salmon and crabs, gave us a call, since we said we are going to
meet him today in norway.
so, instead of having a coffee with him, he helped us out a lot
by doing all kind of mysterious phone calls to the local police
and many other friends of him to get things arranged for us. so
in the evening we had a promise of our car rental company to
send the key to narvik train station by handing it over to some
conductor where a friend of thommy would fetch it then from the
station (our car rental company offered to bring the key in the
same night to norway for around 500EUR). thommy said there's only
someone at the station a few minutes before and after a train
has arrived. additionally he asked the local police guy (yes,
guy - there was just one polic man on duty at the police station
for a rather big town on a saturday night) to have an eye on the
parking lot where we parked our car before losing the key. then
thommy took us with him back to his house. a ride of a little
longer than one hour. there we had a nice chat with him and his
wife until late in the night. again we had absolutely delicious
food like shrimps, salmon and other stuff they cooked for us.
nomnom. hope the key will arrive tomorrow and everything will
turn out fine...
