Monday 27th July 2026



It was raining this morning at Gallivare but improved as the day went on. We bought groceries in town. We travelled west then south to Porjus, seen here, to empty our toilet.



We continued south to Jokkmokk seeing six reindeer along the way. We took a detour on minor roads and in so doing crossed the Arctic Circle without having to pass the inevitable tourist trap on the main E45 road.



We came on south to this beautiful parking place next to a lake at Tarrajaur.



Here's the view from the sliding door on the side of our van which we've been able to leave open for the first time in many days!



Ann is much better this afternoon. She was able to walk down to the lakeside and back.

Today we travellex 91 miles (147 kilometres). We are at: N66.42609 E19.68305
