Lapland, Finland - I love it!

Here are few tasters from a trip to Lapland in Northern Finland. The sun does not come up at all above the horizon while we are here. The joy is that the famous blue moment lasts for all the short day - and it is just like Fazer Blue chocolate.

Roads in Finland can be dark and snowy, and we have the street lights only at the exits.

One can have fun also on the road

We also have a place called II, written with two I's

And they have a place called Hamina, which is another town in South-East corner

This is from Tornio at 2:04 pm

At the slopes at 11 am

The lights are needed all day long

Hot chocolate was decently priced, 2.40 Eur from a proper cup

The Christmas market was small but nice. This at around 4 pm.

This guy needed to cover his truck properly and had it running all the time. -25 C.

Tuikku -restaurant at the top of one of the fells was needed.

It also came with a view. Just for clarity, it is frozen snow at the terrace ceiling

I love this!

...more to come later...
