Seven
o'clock. It is dusk in the tent. The first thing that one want to konw
every morning, how is the weather? It has changed dramatically during the
night, dark clouds cover the sky. That explains the darkness in the tent.
The route up to Tsatsa is hidden in clouds. We take breakfast, gruel and
dark bred. Same weather. We want to see Njåtjosvagge from above.
A short study of the map shows that there is small hill, Kåbrek,
which might be below the clouds. Decide to visit it. The north side of
the lake Låptåvakkjaure is then the natural choise. Stony,
but not that much that it is uncomfortable. Halfway of the lake do we meet
our first reindeer. A vaja (the female) and her calf. They are mirrored
in a small puddle.
At the end of the lake do we take east, towards the lake Kåbrekjauratj.
This part have large stony areas. One must be careful, the humid air make
the stones wet and slippery. We reach the lake Kåbrekjauratj
at half past one without mishappenings. Only the lower part of the hill
Kåbrek is visible. A windy place. The tent is in place just in time
before the rain starts to fall. Warm blueberry soup warm our frozen bodies.
Nothing to do, but to wait. Time pass by. The
dinner is
fried tuna fish with garlic and onion. Served with pasta. Delicious. The
clouds finally give up, the full moon appaer above Kåbrek.
