If you haven't read yesterday's post, you should do it again because I only had time to write everything in the morning.
So, I'm writing a bit later today. It's 9pm now.
When I woke up this morning, after what felt like ages under one roof, I got myself ready. And as I looked outside, I saw the manager of the campsite. I thanked her again and asked if she had a small doll in the trunk.
She did π so with that, I was able to warm her up again.
Then I got up and said goodbye to the woman.
Today was naturally the best/most beautiful day in a long time.
The weather was really great.
And no, you can't see the sun, only the rays of the sun. Nevertheless, it was a great day.
But see the photos for yourself.
As I walked around for about an hour, another car finally picked me up.
The two wanted to buy a new sofa and picked me up just to get over the "pass road" which was still closed this morning due to snow drifts and avalanches.
@Niki, he is a farmer and has Irish cows. When I mentioned that if he wants to take a vacation, I know someone who would love to take care of the animals.
As soon as the two let me out, he took me with him.
He came from Iceland and is a fisherman, organizing whale watching events for tourists. About 200km from Reykjavik (probably spelled wrong). "Γyeblikk" means the same in Icelandic as in German.
He wanted to visit a friend... but he got lost. So lucky for me. That's how I ended up 70km further than he intended.
A short time later, I was picked up by an older man.
It was only a short distance and he was kind of mumbling and speaking English mixed with Norwegian, but we could still communicate.
Then the next one. Also only a short trip, but at least I didn't have to walk through the tunnels.
When he let me out, in his hometown, he told me that there's a 6km long tunnel up ahead.
So I waited...
Then a German with ESW license plates stopped.
The two, father (45) and son (8-9), took me a long way.
So now we're sleeping out here in the middle of nowhere, they in the car and me in the tent.
They even made a fire.
Okay, it was mainly for the little one since he promised it to him.
We also stood outside for a long time and talked. In short, he has his own sawmill near Pollmeier and saws 500 cubic meters of softwood every day.
He also had photos of the Northern Lights that I had seen, as they happened to be in the same region. But he took the pictures with a proper camera. A cellphone, like mine, can't do it. Maybe a newer model can.
Eventually, a snowmobile came. It belonged to the property where we're sleeping. We had a nice chat, and maybe tomorrow I'll do a husky tour with a sled. Because he has 17 huskies. It just depends on the weather. And for all dog owners reading this, I asked about what they do here for ice/snow clumps in their paws. It's simple, they cut the hair very short between the paws and at the beginning of winter, they wear these boots to slowly toughen up the skin again.
And that's how I'm sleeping tonight.
