Day5: 16 July, Tjeurajåkåtj - Suottasjaure, 17 km

We have a good sleep and a cold night, the temperature when we wake up is around zero degrees. We have a sleeping morning and  get away late, the time is half past ten when we leave in variable cloudiness. We have been camping about a kilometer from Kukkesvakkjåkkå, and after a few kilometers walking do we walk down to the river. We follow it to the place where it leave the lake Tjeurajaure. The area at the lake is stony,  we ford Kukkesvakkjåkkå where it is as broadest, which close to the lake Tjeurajaure. The bottom of the river is stony as well, and somewhat slippery. Fortunatetely is it not deeper than our boots, so it is anyway rather easy cross it. We continue up on the hills Lulep (1020m) and Alep (1048m) Kassavaratj. Bank of clouds, that approach from the west between Niak and Vartotjåkkå, fights with the sun. The sun is the winner and the clouds dissolve as they come out over Kassalako. Except for a short shower that passes over the lake Kassajaure and creates a rainbow which is visible during a few minutes. We pass a few reindeer carcasses. With the mountain Akka and the plateau Kassalako in front of us do we eat our lunch.

At Alep Kassavaratj do we turn north. Our intention is to cross Kassalako north of the lake Suottasjaure and continue through the valley between Akka and Vartotjåkkå. Kassalako is a very stony and flat land. Much of the stones are boulder stones. North of Suottasjaure is there almost no grass, but mainly these large stones. Suddenly, without any warning in advance, do the sun give up the fight with the clouds and  it starts to rain. The stones becomes very slippery. Our original route do not look interesting any longer, because of the wet and slippery stones and a poor visibility. We decide to go south of Vartotjåkkå, and as soon as possible find a place for the tent.  We change direction and pass between Suottasjaure and the lake 906, then over the small hill 930. We try to find an easy way between the stripes of large stones, which is not alwyas possible. Some of them do we have to cross, and we are happy when we can leave them safely. It is tiresome. The terrain get better and we look for a good camping site. At six thirty do the tent welcome us, placed on a comfortable grassy meadow with a small brook. Looking south do we see Niak, and in the east is Kukkesvagge with the wetland south of Suottasjaure near us. The restaurant serves corned beef, flavoured with garlic, and potato puree. The rain stops and we can wash ourselves in the brook.
