The transfer time at Stockholm to Kiruna on the outward flight was not enough, only just made the connection. There was no meal provision at lunch time on arrival at the lodge after our long trip. The dog sledging was not a pleasing experience this time round, the girl running the event had no interest in us or her job it seemed, we asked for 6 dogs, because we knew the 5 we were going to get and me being a big bloke we knew from last year 5 would not be enough, the other couple in our party were given 5 dogs which was not enough ( I don't think she had anymore dogs to give us ) to pull two people and Richard ran with the sled most of the time, I mentioned this to the guide, well this fell on deaf ears. I was also involved in an incident ( there was no detrimental damage to anyone or thing ) I was taking a photo whilst the guide had instructed us to stop, she could quite openly see what I was doing, but decided during my photo taking to restart the run, the dogs jerked the sled I fell over and off the brake, the dogs headed off with my partner, luckily the guide was able to stop the sled with no damage to me, my partner or the dogs, this could have been nasty. The guide was not tuned in to us, she did not apologise for not having enough dogs to the other members of our party or their poor experience, she should not have been left in soul charge of us, she should have had an assistant. This experience is a total reversal of the excellent time we had last year. I will not be going back there. I think the meals need to be explained at the lodge or at booking so that this can be amended to suit our needs, unless booked the meals were basic and inadequate. At Abisco Mountain lodge, the meals were spot on, the lodge was comfortable, the only complaint I have is their timings were not in line with the itinery or the mini bus drivers ie the bus turned up at 17.45 to take us to the Sky Station whereas the itinery said 17.50, the diver was a little put out because we were late. In all we had a nice time, the Ice Hotel was good, the mine and the snow mobiles were good. 'Hawk' was spot on, Nico was very welcoming, the girls in the kitchen looked after us. At the Abisco lodge, spot on in the main, the trip to the Fjords was well below par I would'nt recommend that. In all fairness the guide did say this was not his regular tour, which did show. At the moment I'm not sure if I would go back, in stark contrast to last year when I rebooked almost immediately.
