Mission to the Arctic Circle | Part 2 (Patreon)

The sun was quietly rising and the occasional ray of sunlight touched through the body of the trailer. Literally and figuratively small points of light, the night was terrible. It was freezing cold and we had the North wind against us, I didn't want to take out my sleeping bag because then I also had to take off my shoes and thus couldn't run quickly should we be spotted. Also, I had hit my head on an iron bar. I was dizzy and later Rico also noticed that I was bleeding a little. Somehow I was glad it had happened; it is still life-threatening such a freight train. A mistake can mean death, and this situation made me realize it again. After that I was more careful.

For hours I lay awake under the trailer next to Rico who was suffering at least as much. The other gauy from Australia was sleeping comfortably in his sleeping bag, looking carefree. It wasn't until around 11 a.m. that the temperature became a little more pleasant. We tried to sit in the sun as much as possible to warm up, and that cold night finally gave way to a beautiful day, with good views and new frontiers.
