Katterjåkk

From time to time I'm traveling to the north of Sweden, in September it is probably the best time, all the snow is gone, and there are no mosquitos anymore

Also, it is the first time for me to use the service operated by Vy. Let's see if they are better than SJ.

The coaches are still the same, and they are owned by Trafikverket. 

Vy has definitely better food and drinks onboard
