Saint Niklas from Gothenburg and mystic Kiruna

I left Haparanda on Wednesday, June the 5th morning with the 7:30 train. I had just enough time to admire the grand Haparanda train station, which is museum-worthy. I took a seat on a bench on the platform, double-checking that the train ticket is still in my pocket. excited. Other people were slowly arriving too, all cheerfully and politely greeting each other. The Swedish “hej!” has quickly grown close to my heart.
