Finding I could take a quick look at Åre between two trains, me and my backpack took a walk around this ski and outdoor resort. I also had a delicious icecream and cappuccino at Åre Bageri before continuing my trip.

 

Having to change trains in Storlien, I couldn't help thinking of an old funny story, playing with words, that I learned as a child:

- Vart var du hela förra

- I jämtland

- Det förvånar mig

 

Even if I know a joke is never the same in another language, I can't help myself... Living in France years ago, I once had a French dictionnary of jokes as a birthday present (so I could start telling jokes that made sense in French). Here goes the translation of the funny story above:

- Where were you the whole last year ("År" in Swedish)

- In  Jämtland

- That surprises me greatly ("Storligen" in Swedish)
