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.
