Day 11 : 30 July 1989, Excursion: Riksgränsen
We got our room for one night only, we to change room and pack everything. It turns out that we do not need to change room, and we unpack everything. It is cloudy, and the rain start to fall. We decide to take the train to Riksgränsen at the border to Norway. In Riksgränsen do the wellknown photographer Sven Hörnell live. He has during a long life documented the mountain area, and has opened a studio. Today there is a multimedia show  about "Hotel frys ihjäl" (Hotel freeze to death), the history of an old navvy barack. Interesting pictures. The barrack is said to have got the name when people had to seek shelter there during a very cold winter in the 1940's. We buy samehandicraft in the shop and return to Abisko.
