Stuga!

As the day wore on and we grew weary, we started looking for a place to stay.  We stopped in Jokkmokk

Note the Northern Sami name for Jokkmokk.  The photo was copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jokkmokk
and considered staying at a hostel there, but Tove suggested that we drive on and look for a stuga available for overnight stays.  A stuga is a small vacation cottage or cabin.  I highly recommend this inexpensive form of accommodation should you find yourself traveling through the Nordic countries.  

Just a couple of miles south of Jokkmokk we saw this sign:  (Ledig means "available")



There were several cottages/cabins along the lake in Oskarsudde

We followed the signs....


We spent the night here.  I think it cost about $50.  
This was the highlight of the trip through Sweden.  I could have stayed here a couple of days.  I think you'll understand why in the next post.
