borlänge, lappland, narvik

in the last weeks i did some trips to various parts of sweden. borlänge and falun, lappland (kiruna, jukkasjärvi and narvik on the nowegian side) and some more islands in the east of stockholm (runmarö, grinda, utö);marie, julia and kathi in a small cafe in borlänge. we also went to the lake siljan, to the towns mora, where we did a dog sledge tour, and falun, with the falun mine which is a unesco heritage and further to sälen, a skiing area.

in lappland, in the very north of sweden we visited the icehotel in jukkasjärvi, we did a 2 days tour with another dog sledge and stayed overnight at a traditional sami hut and did a one day trip to norway, to narvik.

this was the place where we got our trinking water
on the way into the sunset with our dog sledge
this is sara, a girl i met on kho tao in the south of thailand where i did my diving course a couple of months ago. she and some other friends are from kiruna and it was very nice to see her again. unfortunatley i could not meet the other girls (elin and ida), because they are still travelling.

during the train journey to narvik we passed the border to norway and saw a fjord just some 300meters beneath the railroad. the weather was not the best during this day, so we could not see so far to the lofotes but still we could slightly see them.
