The Jokkmokk Market

Posted by billvision in Trip 6: One Full Year

JokkmokkAs noted in the previous post, Kalle, Kicki and I drove to the ‘Coldest Market in the World” yesterday. The Jokkmokk Market.

The market was huge, packed with visitors from all across Lapland, and yes, COLD. I don’t know how the vendors were able to stand around their booths all day. I was absolutely freezing after only a couple hours in the -15 degree weather, but after a little time in a heated museum/restaurant, we were back out on the streets checking out the rest of the vendors… well, for a little longer anyway.

After a quick bite to eat it was time for the drive home, this time there would be no bright sun light. In it’s place was glowing clouds and a light dusting of snow.
