Jan woke with a start. His eyes struggled to focus. He casually tossed a cigarette into his mouth, said his goodbyes and got off the train. We got off at the same stop, dragging our heavy luggage across the platform for our final train of the journey. Next stop: Riksgränsen, Sweden.
With six ski lifts overlooking the grand Lake Vassijaure as well as a panorama of low-growing birch trees and rounded mountain tops, Riksgränsen is vintage Lapland.
Riksgränsen is virtually on the border with Norway, some 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle and after forty hours of travelling, we arrived!
We quickly dumped our bags and went to speak to the guides for ideas of what is in condition - it all sounds very exciting! We then wandered around the town to get our bearings...
Five minutes later :) we were back at our room to unpack and freshen up... Followed by burger, beer and then bed!
