My Dear Friend, I haven't heard much from you lately, and I haven't written much. So I will tell you what I have been up to. I went to the tourist office of Arjeplog. Far up in the north is Arjeplog, rjepluovve. The name Arjeplog comes from the old Sami language "arjep" (a lot /mycket) and "luogt" (rocks/stenigt). In the great forests. By the mountain ranges. Among thousands of lakes. Peter made it his mission to show me his favorite municipality and made sure that there was not a second of boredom. I had an interview today - the local paper, The Times...Arjeplog Times. It is strange not to do the interviewing but to be on other side, although I should be used to it. The first night I slept in a hotel Silverhatten, and the owner with whom I ate breakfast is the same person that owned the hotel in Mal. There is a downhill with half pipe right next to the hotel. I tried going up the ski slope with a four-wheel, and I failed miserably twice. Anyway the Hotel room had cable tv and warm water. The bathrooms where very fancy and many of the rooms have joining doors. A two bedroom can become a suite or a three bedroom. They had given me a present at the hotel. It was a fox hat. The fur was beautiful and the seams showed great craftsmanship, and should keep me warm since Arjeplog can have really cold weather. I made some extra sandwiches, and afterwards Peter, the manager of the tourist office, a friendly chap about 26 yrs. old drove me out to the ice. Ice fishing is very popular here but Ice fishing with the net is a rare opportunity. We ate some of the fish on the spot. No, it was not a sushi version; we roasted it over an open fire. We went by four wheel over the lake. It was really great, but the most fun we had was as we came to the end. To a ice-race track. The race track is situated right next to a restaurant at the deepest lake of Sweden. The view from the hot tub facing the lake and the hills is sensational. Today I went out all the way to Adolfstrms that played a major role in the mining of Nasafjllet. There are some pictures of it on www.adolfstrom.se . They had a very unique shop - it looked like one lost and forgotten by time, from a past century with lots of toys... while Peter from the tourist office was talking on the cell phone some of the toys went off and started playing music. One bear started singing. They have many activities there, even a helicopter service. Continued On Next Page (Extreme adventure holidays, Page 2) ...
