Time to pack up again, everything is frozen and stiff in the sleigh even our vodka has turned into slush and the temperature has dropped to -38*C , which means it will drop a bit more before sunrise and we will cross the lakes in temperatures around -40*C. There’s hardly any wind so both horses and people are doing fine as long as we are moving and keeping an eye on each other. We are heading for a morning Mass held at Funäsdalens cultural heritage park. We bring the blessings with us and look forward to start the steep climb up the mountainside. Cheeks are glowing, Hair all messy and we’ve had to throw furecoats and hats during the climb. I doubt there will be any problems keeping warm throughout the day. There’s another stretch along the mainroad today but it looks like most of the cars on the road have come to meet us and are driving along for a while. It’s icy and easy for the horses to pull but it’s difficult not to slide over on the wrong side of the road.
It’s a beautiful picture to see the Norwegian mountains in the distance. Thats where we are heading tonight, to Vauldalens hotel on the Swedish Norwegian boarder. Our hosts Jorid and Ole-peder are also celebrating their 30th anniversary at the hotel so we can prepare for another night of festivities.
