No perspective

Publicado: 15.03.2024

Yesterday I was so tired that I didn't even want to write anything on the blog. What happened?

When I get up it's already snowing heavily. Apparently it started during the night, because there are already a few centimeters. The night wasn't a good one... my digestion played tricks on me again and the stomach pain kept me awake. So what to do with the new day? Cross-country skiing or skiing doesn't seem appealing with the snowfall... So: we keep going. There is a great winter sports area waiting for us in nearby Sweden and from Friday the weather will be better...

No sooner said than done - we're off. The side road on which we drive towards the border is hardly cleared at all. The snow is quite wet and the worst thing is, it immediately freezes on the windshield, on the windshield wipers, just everywhere! As a result, the windshield wipers temporarily stop working until the ice is removed again - every few kilometers. It's really difficult, but we're in the Nordic middle of nowhere - standing still makes no sense at all. There are no towns - just forest...

So we drive about 120 km to a gas station, where we fortify ourselves with coffee and cinnamon rolls and thank God the snowfall stops and we can continue the journey on a snowy road but with the necessary view to Dundret, a winter sports area near Gällivare.

There is a nice campsite there where we are in good hands. A walk makes it clear: the lifts don't run again until Friday afternoon - no lifts during the week. But no matter - we need time to recover anyway and go to sleep early.
