01/08 Help me! Nordvagen/Johansen's house/0km

My CUB skidded and turned over because it was very very strong side wind. Fortunately I was unhurt. But I could not walk anather step with strong one.

One track came along after five minutes. I asked for help. After more five minutes, one estate car came. They are very kind. My luggage and me put in the estate one, CUB put in the track. I was helped by their kindness. Moreover I said to want to go a cheap hotel, they return "You can come my house. It's free.".

Through the window I looked many reindeer.

At a service station in Honningsvag, I got CUB and fixed there. Fortunately Cub was unhurt also.

We moved them house in near city of Honningsvag, and put in my luggage and me. I could say only "Thank you very much."...

To tell the truth, a storm came here. I didn't know. Today It was bad weather also. I stayed them house, I had a good rest.

In evening the rain stopped, the wind got weak. Therefore I could get my CUB.
