Departure is at 8:00 clock and we continue to Hirtshals in Denmark. At 23:15 we sat on the ferry to Kristiansand in Norway. since it is summer, we have only a short 2.5 h journey.
Second Day
Around 2:30 clock, we are in Norway. We drive towards Stavanger from the port, until shortly after Mandal, where we in pouring rain at a car park. Here we have the car ireorganized and then "stored", going bed.
The woman wakes me when it still rained, we make first a coffee. Without this, it is not working.
When we started driving, the sun shines and we have
the best weather in Lindesnes. Hopefully it remains so.
At the southernmost point of Norway has some changes, there is also now taken admission, a restaurant there too. Some rooms of the old bunker installations were equipped with electric lighting. On the south side of the lighthouse from the visitors here small cairns have been built.
These should be point the way in old days, or messages with his markers.
A coffee, we could not treat, there was still everything closed except the cash office - it could indeed visitors.
On the way back, we buy some food.
Further path leads us on the street 460 towards Sveindal and from there to Evje.
From here we follow the road to the north. We are both done very down and decide to look for a cottage, we do'nt drove fahr today. The last day was still hard. We'll find another waterfall and make a break, we do not want to just drive.
In Langerak, there is a campsite on the lake, where we want to scout. Next remove a reference to cottages,
there we go out, about 500 meters from the road we will find it. Here we have shown cottages, some km after the small village, right on the lake. Shower is not there, they are at the house of the owner, but the water in the lake is 22° C as we were told. The air has only 23 ° C but we enjoyed the dip in the lake - refreshing.
The weather is fickle and gives us rain and timid sunshine.
The last day was very tiring, and soon after "dinner" we go to sleep. Outside is still bright a long time.
Third Day
I am awake at half past 6, I do the bones were aching and I'm thirsty, a sip cold lemonade and a cigarette when I suddenly have the feeling to be tired.
The wife had me at 8 a clock awakened. After coffee on the wooden terrace at the entrance, we have comfortably packed our stuff and give back the key to our host and chat a little bit.
The road leads us to Eidsborg to one of the best-preserved stave churches in Norway, evoking legends.
It was building in the 13th Century, and 1927, were uncovered during renovation work photos. Many decorations are from the 16th Century, the pulpit from 1927.
Via Kongsberg and Honefoss we come up to 16 km before Eidvoll. It is just north of Gardermoen, the airport of Oslo. So we bypassed the city with its traffic and bustle.
By the way we looked to a hut, but it was too far to the toilet and also a little early. The 2nd Opportunity had found no one. Now we'll spend the night in the car. Below is a beautiful lake. I have no problems at 22:30 a clock to write these lines. On the street is not much going on, so we can enjoy the nature.
Fourth Day
It is still early, seven clock, do me the bones were aching because I can not extend. It is not raining. I go first out of a smoke. The water for the coffee is cooked quickly in the car, in between I build the car back around and do the heating, it is cold here. Soon we are back on the street It's raining, it's nothing to see it's raining sometimes more, sometimes less. There is nothing to photograph.
In Örebro, or after we find Alsters Herrgård see us there, and something to drink a coffee.
On the journey we have been looking for a cottage on the highway is nothing to find it sucks, it is still raining. In Arborga we go after some searching about the country and a few kilometers from the highway again and will find it. For 350 SEK, we get a cabin and we can, even if cold shower. The cabin is so far ok, and clock at 21:30 to hear it to rain.
Fifth Day
It has rained all morning. Arrived in Stockholm, it was a disaster until we had found Silja terminal. It was no more space on the ferry to get. We can put on the waiting list can be, it is an option for clock 19:15, but no guarantee. Then we go further, I suggest. The woman is only a little bit overwhelmed, but we make it. Next target Käppelskär, in fact, a cargo port, but the same as in Stockholm. So we continue to Umea, the ship has been 2 hours away. We take a hut on the campsite for 890 SEK. It is spacious and comfortable.
Sixth Day
Today the weather is better, we have searched for about an hour for lunch and have enjoyed the sun. We were also near Boliden in a quartz mine, was not very big, but it was beautiful there - evt Description We are more than Haparanda / Tornio, drove towards the north.
There is the border where we Tornio in Finland. Along the Muoniojoki we drive north and take the first Koski, a chute, a hamburger from Ren and a coffee. The sun stands high above the Muoniojoki It is slow at the time Mökki to find and we take long for it. In Ylitornio Mökki, we have found, for 45 €. In Sunset, we have our wine overlooking the Muoniojoki enjoyed.
Seventh Day
Cozy has the day started, as we packed the car and continued north after Muonio mileage it is not far to Äkäslompolo. So we zuckeln with 80 km / h on the road to Junction. From afar, one can already see the Ylästunturi, a furrowed tracks, treeless mountains. In the souvenir shop, I ask after away after Äkäskero is easy to find and as soon as possible. Here we see first whether someone at the reception is to be found - everything. Outside there is someone with 3 puppies and a few goats, and we make clear the hut, we ask whether the dogs in the camp, and ordered dinner.
We have gone to the dogs in the camp and there are approximately 2 hours. It has been very much in the last 5 years, when I first was here, changed. The dogs are restless as we walk through the camp and want to smell all times. Bald is time to go, dinner is waiting for us, it is used for clock 19:00.
Except we still present a Swiss family. The food: tomato with mozzarella, chicken with risotto and Preiselbeerparfait. After the meal, even one, two and a bit Käffchen talk.
We say that we have the modest cottage for 2 nights take.
Then we are back into our cabins, there are our neighbors. Dorothea is still a diamond coffee and I made it to the milk that we bought in Sweden. The milk is already so thick out of the box, it is Filmjölk (junket, I later found out) on it, but it is also not a real milk. Dorothea does not taste the coffee. Around 00:00 clock taghell is still in the hut, then I waited.
Eighth Day
After "breakfast" we are going to Kittillä to buy. We are looking for the campsite on the night we ever have. After a flying visit at the airport we drive on Levi and a small detour on Jerisjärvi after Muonio, where we get a few souvenirs . On the journey we again see more reindeer.
The idea of re-time a sled tour is to make me not go. On the way back to Äkäskero we come back to the camp dogs past and I ask myself again after the Panorama Tour in Sweden After arriving at the hotel is soon time to go eat and to pay the bill. Then again, we go into the sauna in our hut. this is still not quite my case. The Puppies are here called the Blue, Camilla and Celinie.
Ninth Day
We have Äkäskero long until we have confessed, we can tackle it comfortably. It drizzles a bit. Packing is quick, and already we are off to Muonio. Here we give the postcards from. The next goal is Kautokeino, where the woman wants to Juhl's Sovssmie spend money. The road is good to drive, we have also recognized the hut in which we are a good 20 years ago for the first time here genächtigt have. I believe in the old shower, I would still not want to go. Juhl's is top, left of the jump - we have it immediately recognized and found. Unfortunately, there is not much changed the jewelry and the woman has not raised.
So we will soon again Utsjoki direction. At the border river of Norway in Finland, we want to find a hut. It was a joke, the first cabins were occupied, the second too expensive (100 €), at the third has not reported on the telephone and at the fourth "kaikki something", ie including all occupied. Then I had a mouth full and I drove up Utsjoki. Also nix free, and now we are here between Utsjoki and Kamaanen, somewhere in the wilderness and we are here on the bus to break bones. Fortunately it was not raining more that we had during the last almost 400 km .
Tenth Day
The bone we have not broken, the night was very good. The car is started inside moist, you can hardly see out. After the toilet, I then boiled water on the bus, it's raining outside and the mosquitoes would eat us also. Well rested, we first let Kaamanen and further behind us. From time to time it rains, and between the small trees which are old but not in excess of our bus, we are seeing a few reindeer. Some times we will remain so even stand. From up here you can enjoy a wide view over the area north of Inari, with its infinite, the Nordic forests and some large lakes, such as mirrors are embedded.
Inari, we know already by some visits in the past. We drive through and look for a specific store, but it is probably still a bit too early. Before 9:00 am clock is not much going on. In Germany, it is not even 8:00, the clock time in Germany is still an hour earlier.
Quick, we are in Ivalo, there are no major routes. Again a small detour to Lentoassema (the airport) and then after Törmänen to Kamisak sled camp. There, you now also get a coffee. Before the camp, there is a bus from the Westerwald and we are overwhelmed with questions - where you come from (of course in Germany, knows her or?). We hear that we are only after lunch in the camp can be - we will come back.
We think we have something in the markets in Ivalo up shortly after twelve, we again are Kamisak. The old people are no longer here are younger nachgerückt. The tour of the camp is interesting, too many puppies, puppies from five to ten weeks old. After the tour, so we get a little worm to view. He kuschelt on our arm to us, mainly warm and protected. From the little dog in a year is a small tractor to the sled to become. I also see a few pictures of the old people something after an hour, we are ready for the trip.
Following are good Saariselkä 24 km. The Kaunispää is the mountain near where the big "gutters", the ski runs are. From here the view over the country and very much worth a few pictures.
The hunger plagues us something, well that I am here Ravintola (restaurant) know. I was already four years ago in the winter here. Only stupid that only the restaurant by 15 clock to make. At the bottom of the ski lifts give the car a bit around, and already we can go to eat. Here in the "Pirkon Pirtti" I get my Kärystis Poron (Rentiergeschnetzeltes). After that nothing more, it is plentiful. Kleiner visit to the gas, 58 liters of diesel for 850 km and we already have our next goal
Tankavaara is an old gold-rush town which is worth seeing. We still have three-quarters of an hour, then we are closed. But we have time we meet in a hut a place for the night to secure. The restaurant has a long open, so we can at a olut (beer) to see how the tourist buses are angekarrt here.
Now we are here in the hut, we see images of the day, and leave the day.
Eleventh Day
After getting up we are in the hut a cup of coffee, the water in the pot is still warm enough. Then we go to the Gold Museum, we already know the system from previous visits. Has not changed, but it is so good we have no personnel there, the shops have.
Just over an hour later we are back on the road. The weather is great and we are good things from Tankavaara we drive over after Pyhä Sodankylä. We have hardly recognized the streets many are new and the flair that we knew, the place no longer. A few souvenirs of Lapland, we have brought.
We go to Kemijärvi - everything is already too much city, too big, so nix how .. then the route is beautiful to drive and the area pleasant. When the road branches off Isojärvi after Salla, near the Russian border, from. We drive towards Maaninkavaara. Before we reach the place flits a 6 meter big snowman in my eye passing angles. I think nothing, Dorothea jumps high in the seat "of the Arctic Circle." I've seen nothing. Because I'm also curious, contact me.
On the small plate is Napapiiri - I've really not seen it, we drink our coffee, it must be, and after some language difficulties on my part, we can key issues for the gift search clarify
Our goal is Rovaniemi, so we turn in the direction Maanikavaara Posio from. Here is the longest straight that I have seen in Scandinavia, more than 20 km. After the half it starts to rain heavily. Between them, just some 100 meters, it is not raining and the road is dry. We also have a violent hailstorm. Faster than 60 km / h is not there. In Posio the world back in order, everything is dry. We drive back to the north and come back to the same weather front Now hear it but no longer to pour. Some experiments fail to find huts. After a 26 km detour after Perälä I curse the huts, on the rivers for anglers is available. Signposted as a great camp and only 3 huts on the spot. It is no longer funny. It's raining buckets as we keep going. For such small plants, we now make no more attempts. The rain we are stronger and we get sun from the front. I was optimistic all the time and despite the rain of a hut with sun-talk, but now where I no reindeer outside the street can see my instruments, and also because the sun can no longer see, I really sour. I really do not want anymore, and snout full.
6 km from Rovaniemi is a place with nearly 40 huts. Camping Napapiirin Saarituvat, Kuusamontie 96, Rovaniemi 96900, Finland Lapland. No matter what it costs, I will no longer work. We take the hut for 65 € with shower and toilet after the meal, the world is okay again: The hut with the sun - I have it no longer believed in itself.
Twelfth Day
Woman is already up and boiled coffee. I was only after 9 clock from the bed tormented. The coffee has aufgepäppelt me.
It was late last night, I did until about half past one showered. The feeling for time is the devil. We are then tags tired.
Then let's go sometime, Navi switch and the five kilometers to Santa Land travel - long distance. The facility is significantly larger. However, it is curious the smell of Christmas and the background music as the cold season can be heard constantly.
The oldest building here at the resort is the lodge of 1950, to honor the wife of? Roosevelt during her visit here on Napapiiri was erected. It was already 1948 a Commission for the care and conservation of the polar circle hut formed.
In woman's bag permanently logs the phone "invite me".
It is possible for us a few more fine things to be found.
As we have seen everything we do and on to the next attraction in Rovaniemi, not the Arcticum. It is only worth seeing if you've never been in the north. In Santa Village we were not. It is a shelter where small shops, a cafeteria, a train for Christmas adventure fans and a great store with ice sculptures are. Here resides the Eisprinzessin. The temperature is -10 ° C cold and not very good at all. One can here also coats against the cold take.
In one of the coats ringing a mobile phone, someone has probably forgotten. The "Eisprinzessin" takes the call and says that the phone was found - it was probably not the owner. The entrance to the ice sculptures extra costs 6 € to 10 € entrance for the bunker. A little too expensive, it seems to me .
When we go, the phone was found as required. Because tonight is probably someone on the difficult search.
We drive into town, or in the direction and make at Lidl still necessary errands.
The hunger plagues us, and we do, back in the hut, only to eat plenty of times. Then the time to rest, and when we finally venture out again, it starts to rain again. The weather is very changeable.
At 21:00 clock we still turn a round around the place and can make nice pictures.
Fourteenth Day
I'm up and have coffee cooked (rarely came so far), Ms. ausgeschlafen times today. With coffee, I am in front of the entrance had me in the sun set and a cigarette smoked. It was really pleasant, but very fresh. I prefer then to my wife in the hut until we are equipped to pull up.
During the loading times I will be back on my dog sled sticker mentioned and if I come from Svalbard. I answer with no, and get the answer "we come from there." There are Svalbardians from Longyearbyen. I still tell where I was there, in Bolterdalen, and the man also knows Anton with his full name. Man knows halt - the world is small.
We give the keys to the reception and some come into the conversation. I asked about the heating, because most electric heat up here. Our hosts heat with pellets and go so cheaply. As already mentioned, there are Dutch, and they make cheese from ten cows, there are cows, the Scandinavian climate also tolerated - would Holland cows in winter milk rice give?.
We take a small piece of Dutch cheese "from Sweden with.
In bright sunshine we leave Jokkmok and continue towards home. Shortly after Jokkmok we go to the last time on the Arctic Circle. Here I have, together with Dorothea sometimes even overnight. It is not very long ago since we drive, but in a beautiful place we stop - breakfast. Behind Avidsjaur I have the feeder to the 45 notes verpeilt, and was suddenly on the 95 to Norway - as I said before, the Navi is not from here and it also has this time not gepeilt. After 20 km, I have turned. The trip went well, but we do not find beautiful place for a further pause. It is warm, about 21 ° C and I would like to stand still. Inevitably, I think on a small car park, of which there are more who are here and Dorothea discovers a few swans takes you straight to the camera. I am amazed that there are swans here. Both of us are surprised that so little move and rotate on the spot. There are Plastikschwäne, very original.
The Way Dorotea is still a long way, we take the afternoon but a hut near Storuman. It is useful, who knows when the next cabins come.
Avasunds Fiskecamp, I have us look away again, but there are refuges for SEK 450, we pay 40 € just because the crown could be, we may collect. Actually a nice place, but here there are a lot of Poland. Compared to running music and Poland are very much back and forth. Which is boring. Opposite is a woman who very often from one hut to another run. I'm doing a few videos before. We amuse ourselves about it.
Later we get more neighbors and I can still clock 22:00 against the setting sun on the trees to capture
Fifteenth Day
Pleasant, we are on the exit before it starts to rain again. In a rain break, I get the car in front of the house and loaded it with the woman. It is not good weather to go home.
When we start it rains. In between time we had a break.
Do we have a cabin to indulge in Sweden we have a campsite north of Helsingborg selected. We are good at the time and go out. The cabins are all but gone. The next attempt at the next place. It has no cabins. We drive to the port and are quick in Elsinore, Denmark in over there.
A pity, it would be a nice conclusion in a sunny cottage in Sweden have been.
We view the castle, which is also from Sweden sees her from outside. Kronenburg says that if I am not mistaken. One has from here a good view to the neighbors on the other side of the Kattegat. I'm ready for anything. The next rest stop, we, at least some food to make. To Stay he did not seem appropriate. On the other ride, here we have our first real sunset, we reach Rödbyhavn. I hope that the next ship in only a few hours talking about peace and quiet. the waiting time is with me 20 minutes too short. Also, the crossing was much longer than 45 minutes. At least we can eat during the time go.
Sixteenth Day
We have before Neustadt overnight. It is the 2nd Rest stop if you come from Puttgarden. At seven clock, we will awake. A few hours we have slept. A train passes by. I take the water from the hot water jug and make it hot in the boiler. I need coffee morning. The sun is shining and some people have still appear here. We are back in Germany, the holiday comes to an end - it went so fast.
Hamburg to rush and then the eternal construction site on the A1. On the journey to his homeland, but still waiting for a job on us. Near the Dutch border waits another aunt to pick us to be.
At night we run into the home one. Brühtende, schwühle air pushes us sweat on the forehead, when we unload the bus and the trip finally comes to an end.
