Leider konnten wir die Nordlichter aufgrund der dicken Wolken nicht sehen. Schade, aber wer kann schon fürs Wetter. Trotzdem war es ein sehr schönes Lagerfeuer direkt am See, anschließend ist der Guide noch über eine Stunde mit uns herumgefahren, um eine bessere Stelle zu finden, wo die Wolkendecke dünner ist. Dabei hat er jede Menge Interessantes über Lappland berichtet und gute Tipps gegeben.
