Refusing to go out in the middle of the night because of the rain, resulted in me waking up every hour. Should have known better so eventually I got up at 6:30 even though the boat appointment is at 8. Packing up went fast although my tent was soaked. Decided it would be best onContinue reading “Kungsleden – day 11”

It starts with a sad story. Because on the day I wrote the full summary which was quite a long one. However when I wanted to select copy at post it. I selected paste. And thus my whole story was gone. So here is take two: The thunder and most of the rain missed us.Continue reading “Kungsleden – Day 9”

Didn’t sleep too well even though I had the whole tent to myself. I think it has to do with either or both of these two things 1. strong coffee at 4:30 pm 2. No bandanna to cover my eyes from the light So I got up early and it was dry. Knowing it wouldContinue reading “Kungsleden – day 10”

I also never wrote for day 6. So here is the best I can do: We got up with the new agreement: if you wake up between 6 and 7 you can start packing your stuff. This will wake the other person. But we both agreed that at that time you’ve had enough sleep. SoContinue reading “Kungsleden- day 6”

So I never wrote on day 5 or in the days after a summary of the day. Now that I’m finished I have the time to fill in the missing days. This is also the case for day 6 and some days at the end. Yesterday we hiked to the summit of Kebnekaise and itContinue reading “Kungsleden- day 5”

We woke up by the alarm. Unusual but necessary as we needed to be on time at the boat dock at 7:30. With a short hike and a long morning routine (for this I blame the breakfast of Donald) so the alarm was set at 6:15. The boat was the only option, the rowing boatsContinue reading “Kungsleden – day 8”

The zzzzz-sound of the mosquitoes could be heard all night and one even got in the tent after my standard midnight pee. In the morning the mosquito had a red behind and the odds are not in my favor. However, there are so many that I don’t really notice. Even Donald is starting to loseContinue reading “Kungsleden – day 7”

The big day is here. As we knew we had to first walk 10 km to the start, we had set the alarm at 3. However, I woke up at 2:30 for my standard midnight pee and it was raining. So when the alarm went off at 3 I suggested snoozing for an extra 30Continue reading “Kungsleden – day 4”

We woke up late (passed 8) and packed the tent quickly while I was still being attacked by mosquitoes. That will probably be a returning topic. Donald decided to have breakfast higher up which reduced the number of mosquitoes. After the late start, the trail was easy going and we passed the Tjäktja Fjällstuga. DecidedContinue reading “Kungsleden- day 3”

Yesterday Don and I decided to start walking separately because he wanted breakfast and I do that whilst hiking. So I started just before 8, which is in my opinion not extremely early as there is 24h daylight. And in the distance I could see other hikers ahead of me. Getting of our camping-spot IContinue reading “Kungsleden – day 2”
