Tonight's accommodation

Sara with the 5 dogs

We got up just after 4, had coffee, packed everything and cleaned, then Annika walked the dog and I locked up the house. Darkness outside. After 3 hours or so we arrived in  Jokkmokk where we had to wait almost 5 hours for the next bus. When in Gällivare I said goodbye to Annika since her train was leaving today. Then I tried to get a room for the night but most places were fully booked. Apparently there are a lot of workers staying here during weekdays. I went to Sara to pick up my stuff and she said I could stay over at their house, since the kids are not home. How lucky am I? So I got one of the lovely girlie rooms. Then they went to fix their cabin for the winter and I was lying on their couch reading my new book that I bought in Jokkmokk and then watching some tv until they arrived around 10 pm. Her husband is part of the Mountain Rescue Team and they had several alarms during the evening, now he was going to Karesuando which is 200 km! Me and Sara had tea and crackers while talking about all and nothing. Then we got to bed kind of late. I was reading a few pages but was kind of tired now. I am grateful for all the kindness people are showing me.
