During
breakfast we discuss the storm we had with others who also had a bad night.
They also think that the standard is decreased and littering increased
along the track. We check out and wait for the bus that leave 12.30. The
bus stop is at the closed shop five hundred meters away, previuosly was
it outside the youth hostel. It takes two hours to Jokkmokk, where we walk
to the youth hostel and leave our luggage at the entrance. It open at 17.00.
We have a late lunch at the mountain museum Ajtte, we eat an excellent
reindeer. Then a visit to the handicraft house to by presents, here we
meet the woman we met a few years ago at Änonjalme. After having checked
in at the youth hostel, do we seacrh for a restaurant to have a good dinner
at. The pizzerias we reject, in a small restaurant are we recommended to
eat at Hotel Gästis. Friendly of them, so we walk to Gästis.
It is a good recommendation, the arctic chark with cream sauce and potatoes
is delicious. We are back at the youth hostel in time for the evening news
on TV. 116 persons are feared to have died in a sunken russion submarine.
We
have breakfast in the cafe City. The lady serve two types of sandwich she
say, with cheese and ham, the other with ham and cheese. We take one of
each. The rest of the morning is spent in the mountain botanical garden,
this time of the year do nothing flower. Lunch again at Ajtte, before it
is time to walk to the bus station. The bus leave 13.30, half an hour late.
The trip to Gällivare take ninety minutes. We have a taxi to the airport,
the same driver as when we arrived. We tell him that the railway station
has opened again. At five do the Fokker take off. When I at midnight open
the door to my home, does a happy cat greet me.
