Funny you should mention that...

How does a Carpathian Camp in Poland sound to you next year?

Nice report Gary,

I am off to Jokkmokk as well in 10 days for a week holiday with the family.
Looking forward to going back. Happy memories of our trip.

Cheers,

Lennart

Hi Lennart. I was in much happier circumstances this time fortunately.

Would have liked to have some time out camping like last time though.

Oh yes, I forgot to include this in my report.

One of the great things about visiting the Sámi Duodji foundation is getting access to their library.

a book that caught my eye there this time was this.

It's in Swedish but is absolutely packed with fascinating illustrations and photographs.

Google translate makes a pretty good job of any translations I need.

Anyway, it's out of print now so we had to check out some second hand bookshops in Stockholm.

One shop, Alfa Antiquariat, actually did a book search and directed us to a rival bookseller that actually had it in stock. Top service that I thought deserved mentioning.

If you want a translation of a page or two, just PM me.

Fantastics posts. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Most of it I can work out from the pictures.

The Google translate App on my iPad seems to work well enough for my needs elsewhere but thank you for the offer Janne.
