As you know, we are heading to the home of Santa for Christmas!!
This is where we will be staying;
http://www.korvala.fi/?deptid=23279 (In the red cabins)
We will be flying to Helsinki on the 20th Dec and staying there for 2 days to experience the capital and the xmas markets and festivities there. Then on the 23rd we will travel to Turku which is apparently the oldest city of Finland and is also a 'christmasy' town where there are lots of great markets and festivities. Then that night we catch a night train up to Rovaniemi which is the capital of Finnish Lapland, and is also in the Arctic Circle. From there we catch a bus to our cabins at Korvala. We spend Christmas there in the snow (and the dark!) but with activities such as husky sledding, reindeer sledding, ice-hole swimming and fishing, skiing and tobogganing and snow trekking and such, who cares about a little less daylight!!
The Boreal forest, our playground
Huskies!!!
Reindeer!!!!!!!I hope you will all have BBQ's and salads and think of us while you drink in the warm sunshine, as we will probably be eating tinned spam in the Arctic!! :)
xxxx lots of love :)
p.s I have now taken to adding most of my photos to Facebook as I have done something to my blogger settings and things dont work properly on here anymore (hence the weird font and mis-aligned things). So check out photos on Facebook from now on!!
