Aanvankelijk was het mooi weer, maar toen we wat meer in bergachtig gebied kwamen pakten donkere wolken zich samen en plotseling zaten we midden in een echte sneeuwstorm. De temperatuur daalde volgens de thermometer in de auto tot 2 graden, anderen hadden zelfs nul graden gemeten. De sneeuw bleef in elk geval wel liggen! Gelukkig brak even later de zon weer door en werd het weer heerlijk warm (6 graden).
This morning we left at about a quarter past nine for a 308 km drive to the middle of Lapland. Today was a national holiday in Sweden,which meant that the swedish flag was flying everywhere, but also that all shops and tourist attractions were closed.
At first the weather was ok, but soon dark clouds appeared and suddenly we were in the middle of a real snowstorm. The temperature dropped to 2 degrees (C) and the snow stayed on the ground beside the road. Fortunately the sun reappeared soon and it got nice and warm again (6C)

On our way we saw beautiful lakes and 'elves' as rivers are called here. And yes: we saw a raindeer, that stood on the road before us but soon disappeared into the woods when we came along.


Now, at nearly ten o'oclock in the evening I'm still sitting at the computer in the sun (in the caravan!). The sun will harly set tonight: midsummernight has almost started here. Between 12 an 28 June the sun will never set.
