Short Ping from Aktse.

Not much to say: dodstrött and the Sarek has maybe about 100 mosquitos less this august ... the rest of those Quadrupelzillards plays rain on the tent (from the outside).

Ah. And rowing is a thing, I do not need a course anymore - 4 km of training are enough, at least as far as you can see at 22h.

Now a day off with a walk on Skirffe.

Last Ping from Kvikkjokk.

Just arrived at Kvikkjokk Fjällstation. Seems to be owned now by an entrepreneur. But we don't care. Hit it!

Vi ses!

God Morgon! Intermezzo ...

... eating miles since 5:30 by train. Estimated arrival ... 12:30. How did I even manage to get up at 4h? And what about 20km still left to go? A real suspense thriller with real blood as soon as the mosquitos get a grip on me!

Nature 20 minutes from the heartbeat ...

1 full and 2 half days in Stockholm are too short to visit your friends, but as STHLM is only the port to the north, it was as usual delightful.
Ängby Camping is a hell of a camping ground - and I like it hot. You find it vis-a-vis of Drottningholm and between Judaskogen and Blackeberg (for all friends of 'Let the right one in'). And there is a cosy beach with a 'Pirate Bar' (Arrr? Well, sort of. But more of that to come).
Since March or May '10 there is the new private Fotografiska Museet och Akademien with several great series from swedish Photographers like Vee Speers (The Birthday Party - really wonderful scary!), Anders Petersen (From Back Home - you get it why there are so many darkly good musicians come from the north) and Lennart Nielsson (A Child is Born - which you might already know from some illustrated or science magazines). Should I mention also the momentary huge collection of Anni Leibowitz - done, but not worth a picture, because it was not allowed to make one. All quick-mounted CCTV around only in this part of the exhib.
A day passes by almost instantly if the weather is bad enough ...
Not being quite the ordinary tourist, I had to see the bureau of Piratpartiet as elections for swedish parliament (Riksdagsvalet) start this year from the beginning until 19th of september. I was a bit afraid not to find the address directly, but 'someone' from butik@piratpartiet.se picked us up. Snygg taxi. Some problems sound the same, some are a bit different, but the ideas are really the same, and we all have a lot of work to do: I hope, I can help a little bit to ... No, I won't tell yet. You have to wait and follow my posts for a few days ...

And now ... tomorrow the train from Kiruna in the polar circle to our hiking start Kvikkjokk will leave on 5:25 in the morning. Very hard work, those things like vacations.

Sverige, here we come igen.

First STHLM, then 140km Fjäll and a few days at the end chillout time in (sorry) Danmark.

As far as possible impressions will be posted. But this will be more a problem of T9 annoyance than due lack of connectivity. The internet mobile flat per week will cost 29 SEK (about 3 EUR!).
