Slept surprisingly well next to a waterfall. I've noticed it before that nature sounds don't bother me that much while sleeping, but for example people talking and laughing near the tent like in Östersund camping area makes it impossible for me to sleep.
Was a beautiful trail today. And the views were great, but man those climbs up and up are really tough. Forget my previous complaints about climbs. Climbs here are on a completely different level. Steep and long. This definitely is not for a faint of heart or for non-fit person's. These are mountains.
Reached Åre which definitely is not a place for my pay grade! It's s luxurious holiday village for those with extra cash. I mean sure it looks nice, but you could be in any other ski center. All look like this.
It also rained in the afternoon, but I was already indoors thinking how much food I can carry as when I leave Åre and Duved tomorrow the next shop will be in Vuku Norway some 100 kilometers away!
I might spend six days reaching Vuku. I'm not taking days off, but instead I think I'll do few shorter days in the Swedish-Norwegian border area and enjoy the mountains there.
It also could be that I won't have much phone or internet connection for the next six days as the trail is in quite an isolated area.Read more
