Goodbye Norway, Hello Finland!
Europe » Finland » Lapland » Rovaniemi
After a good night at the sled dog place, I woke up early to catch a bus to Finland. The guy from France that stayed in the same cabin as I did was on the same route, so we ended up travelling together for a couple days. We got on the bus in Karasjok, and within 20 minutes we were in Finland. Our destination was a town called Sodankyla which would break the long to journey to Rovaniemi. There was very little to see in Sodankyla, but one of the best things I did see was smaller prices at the supermarket. [View Full Entry]

Sorry to the followers of the Blog, but the nearest PC was a bus journey away and the bus was only once an hour and it worked out quite expensive to do. Since we last logged on, we have managed to try our hand at ski-ing, with Kira having a lesson on her own. We were quite content to muddle through ourselves, and Russ and Graham tried snow boarding. Russ decided it wasn't for him in the short time we had and went back to the skis, but Graham persevered. We bought a lift pass, and tried to frighten ourselves to [View Full Entry]

So, I just got back from the Rotary Lapland tour, and I'm ready to tell you all about it! However, I'm going to start from the last time I updated. So, on Monday I was absolutely exhausted and I practically slept through my first class. I went to my Finnish class with Christine but again there was no one there. We were both really pissed because that was the second time in a row that had happened. So, since we didn't have class we went shopping. At night Jari's aunt and uncle came from Helsinki. We had a really big dinner [View Full Entry]

We are here! Our cabin is really lovely, and all our reservations about the facilities were unfounded, as they seem to have thought of everything. There's even a washing machine and drying machine for wet ski clothes. We were collected by the reps on the first day to go to the welcome meeting, and taken to the "Ski Bistro". They didn't however arrange for us to get back, so we caught the local ski bus into Ruka centre to do some shopping and plan which activities we would like to do. We have decided to try and book they ourselves rather [View Full Entry]

LAPLAND TOUR 2007!!! + MY 17th! :)
Europe » Finland » Lapland
Friends. Snow. Huskey Dogs. Snow. Reindeer. Snow. Long bus rides. Snow. Snow. Snow. SNOW! So I spent this last week in Lapland with 130 other Rotary Exchange students! The charter bus picked me and a bunch of other Turku Area exchange kids up at 7:10 Friday, November 31. I met up with Rick (from Illinois) first then Dorothee (from Germany) and Eddy (Mexico) then we met Eric (Germany), Max (America), and Jess (Australia). We headed north, and picked up many more kids on the way. Ellen and Sarah got on in Pori and Nonqaba (South Africa). Ellen and I sat together [View Full Entry]

After a year spending in Finland, I finally visit Lapland or Lappi in finnish... and it’s a real paradise! You cannot imagine how you can feel there: at the end of the world, totally lost, with a loud silence, snow storm in April, tunturis (Hills in finnish) and midnight sunlight... and so on! So much to appreciate, if you love being close to Nature! I decided to go close to Kittilä, in the north west Lapland, close to the most ski resort: Levi. It is a great place there according to the accommodations proposed. About the airport, there are daily [View Full Entry]

The third and final full day in Lapland, I again saw how magical the Arctic Circle can be. I thought the magic ended with being in two different places at once, but I was wrong. This time, we found a portal that took us to another world! Narnia! (Ok so, we were really in a national park - but it really did feel like Narnia) Before we ventured out, we checked in at the national forest office to see what trails, if any, we could go on. We were told that we would need either snowshoes or skis to get [View Full Entry]
