A Short Excursion [7/20/23]

The next morning, we drove back to Storlien, Sweden in search of coffee and breakfast. The first café we tried was closed but a local man directed us to a café associated with a hotel just up the hill. The door was open so we walked in only to discover that the proprietor (Lena) had just opened the door to get some fresh air. Although the café was not supposed to open for another hour, she had coffee made and invited us to stay. She offered us some freshly baked croissants (the best either of us had ever eaten). After a conversation with Lena we learned that there was another dome in the area that sounded interesting. She put us in touch with the owner of that dome and away we went for a trip to the “Magic Mountain”. After an extremely arduous trek up a mountain on foot, it turned out that the dome was an Arctic Dome, exactly like the one next to us at Rypetoppen. Additionally, the key which was supposed to be in the lockbox was missing so the only thing we could do was look in the window. The only thing positive about the trip was the view from the top of the mountain. We ended up having pizza at Le Ski for dinner that evening. We learned that the steakhouse served a breakfast buffet each morning, so we planned to come back one more time before leaving the area.
