Day 10 was a very wet and monotonous drive through Sweden with the aim of crossing the Artic Circle. We saw lots of rain, wet roads, trees, lakes and then, near our destination for the day of Jokkmokk, we were given a wonderful surprise..
The surprise was a herd of 30+ reindeer moving through the forest near the road. We stopped and watched them for a while.
We stopped 2 nights at Jokkmokk, partly to rest, and partly to increase our chances of seeing the Northern lights. Unfortunately, although we had a mostly clear second night, the aurora failed to appear.
Today we travelled about 2.5 hours further north to campsite near Kiruna, by a lake. They have wood burning sauna cabins here and we have booked one for tonight.
