sweden, day 10
since we didn't get a guided cave tour we decided to at least
have some fun with skidoos (or snowmobiles as they're sometimes
called) today. so we booked two skidoos at "camp alta"[01-19]
in kiruna. it turned out that there's a frozen lake we were
riding our snowmobiles over and then had a track through the
woods. we slowly increased the speed each time we had a long
straight trail. we soon ended at 90km/h. pretty fast, pretty
shaky, and... pretty cold. sonnja and me had a little bit of our
noses uncovered. we ended up with frostbites and dark red areas
on our noses. actually i only uncovered my nose once for about
five minutes. seems this was enough. sonnja's burns were a
little worse. poor her. ulli had no problems at all, her face
was covered all the time it seems.
after having a lot of fun with the snowmobiles we got back on
the car again to get closer to lulea. we decided to return our
car there and take the night-train to stockholm. this would on
the one hand save a lot of gasoline (thus money) and time. since
it would have been a long way to lulea we decided to spend the
night in gallivare. on the way there we saw two moose[37-42],
and had again a nice sunset[47-68].
a few hours later we finally arrived in gallivare[70-77].
