    ..another overnight train...this time from Stockholm...and I finally arrived in far Northern Sweden..with an amazing Arctic sunrise..(video)..Kiruna is a mining town...where there is a huge iron ore mine..but am not here for that...it's close to Abisko NP....today was ..by necessity..a functional one...get some provisions...check into hotel...sauna...dinner...and bed at 18.30..following back to back night trains...need to get my circadian rhythms back on track🙄Leggi altro

    8 novembre 2024, Svezia ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

    ..the weather gods didn't smile on me...it was cold...grey...and wet ..and so much ice...treacherous..I was on Kungsleden..a hiking trail...but it really was bleak...so the pics aren't the best...however...the train journey up and back was through stunning scenery ..and I finally saw the sunset...(next footprint )Leggi altro

  • 3500kms ahead of me..

    10 novembre 2024, Svezia ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    I start the 3500 kms journey home this afternoon...the reason for the Kiruna church pic is that they're going to raise it..complete..on hydraulic jacks.. and move it to another part of town...how do they even do that🫣
    ...my journey home is via Boden..Stockholm..Malmo..Hamburg...Amsterdam..and London..then up to York... another overnight train tonight...The Arctic...a very long way...but most worthwhile...am looking forward to my own bed though🥱

    11 novembre 2024, Germania ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    I guess...on a journey involving circa 20 trains...something will go awry..and it did.. on the Stockholm to Hamburg leg..3 hours late arriving...meaning I couldn't get into my hotel...and Hamburg at night isn't a place I want to be ever again...I actually felt at risk.. but DB gave me a €120 max allowance for a hotel...so I did get a bed...onto AMS tomorrow...then Eurostar to LDN...and this trip will be over...so I sign off now on this Arctic trip ..and have already put in the claim to DB...they really are shocking...Leggi altro
