It was still warm outside but the wind was increasing a bit. The time was 10.15 when we left and after a while we crossed the borderline. Sweden here we come. Unfortunately the path sign were very indistinct (first warning?). When we came to the river Gearbiljohka we saw that the bridge wasn't there. We tried to go down the river but it was impossible to get over. That was no good at all. We walked up again and met our friends, father and son and then decided to walk another way around the lakes in north direction. Where the reindeer guard cottage was situated we took a quick lunch to get some energy. The terrain was flat and easy to walk but there were a lot of creeks to pass. Now we only had to walk through the valley and then we should be near Kungsleden. The time was 23.15 and we stood on Kungsleden. Hansson nearly lost the balance when he took the first step on the path. Everybody was extremely tired after an eventful day.   Picture comment   Picture (thumbnail) Picture 97-7-82 On our way towards the bridge at Gearbiljohka (we thought). Picture 97-7-83 This was the bridge but nobody dared to walk over. Picture 97-7-84 This is the real bridge on land !?! Picture 97-7-85 A short meeting at the bridge after the reconnoitring down streams without finding any place to cross the creak. Picture 97-7-86 The sea system we was forced to walk around. Picture 97-7-87 The valley towards Geargevaggi. Picture 97-7-88 Our new route towards Kungsleden. Picture 97-7-89 Geargivaggi at. 2230. A little bit windy in the valley. Picture 97-7-90 The white stone. Picture 97-7-91 Our first contact with Kungsleden and the wooden plank. To flat for Hansson.
