On Friday evening before the trip to
Jokkmokk we decided to take it
easy and have just dinner at Kathie's place.
Our meal this evening: delicious
salmon after a Finnish recipe
...and a exquisite
"blåbär paj"
myself hungry, Stefan, Antti and
Linda
The polar circle, our first (and only)
stop during the trip to Jokkmokk.
With two charming girls from Austria
.... and three charming boys from
Switzerland
On the Jokkmokk winter market: Marc
was enthusiastic when seeing a Komatsu forestry machine
it is unknown if he bought it or not.
Daniel, wearing the latest fashion of
Jokkmokk
... and some other
impressions from the market
Tea time outside...
... and inside
on the frozen lake you could go for
dog-sledding or helicopter flights
and of course, there where also
some rendeers
at 2 o'clock then the highlight
of the day:
rendeer races!
as you see it was quite popular
and crowded
Race action!
after the race we went to the
"party tent", it was quite funny
allmost everybody was already
drunken in there at three,
I think that's why the locals
like this market so much.
Do it like the Finns do, buy
beer for the bus
... and it worked!
The way back seemed to be much shorter.
