Day 34 - Stockholm to home

Started with a quick trip to a nearby bakery for fresh bread for breakfast and vanilla buns for fika. Squeezed in a few more tunes, then off to the airport. Flights were even on time. Fabulous trip, but happy to be home!

Leisurely breakfast, your off Britt-Inger's library, then off to Föllinge. Driving tour of the forests owned by Mats and Ulf (separately), who have quite different approaches to managing them, so very interesting. Ulf is planting the little fir trees in there picture to replant where trees have been harvested. Haven't seen Ulf yet, though he was somewhere in the forest. Then a little fiddling before bed.

Day 15 - Rörön

Ola took us on a wonderful driving tour of the mountains and ski areas, pointing out where various famous fiddlers live(d). We saw reindeer, had a picnic lunch beside a waterfall, went to one of the highest points in Sweden (on a road, and yes, that's snow), and saw the remains of a fortification from 1658 when Sweden prepared to defend itself against Norway (but that attack never happened). Home for naps, dinner and some fiddling.

This took most off the day, but nice walk home, which included going by this 1600's bell tower. Then time for a  nap, some fiddling and a nice dinner.
