Navigation Install Calgary

Lapplandbär

What a weekend! I would say this has been the best trip I have made here. Finland pure! Santa, snow, reindeer - But let's turn to ...

Thursday morning we went to drive away, the bus left at 6 clock of Jyväskylä from Rovaniemi. Since I have the night before finally tested the sauna (now I have the title of my blog well deserved), the night was short but very relaxed, so I have survived of eight hours well. Halfway it started to snow suddenly - here the proof! In Rovaniemi us but then beautiful sunshine, expected at about 0 ° C.

Upon arrival there was first a tour of the Department of Digital Media at the University of Lapland . The madness of such an equipment, we can only dream of Bremen. Would prefer to remain right there:) But then we drove on to our accommodation before the opening of the photo exhibition was on the program. In between, even a quick burger in northern McD plastered the world. In the evening, still with the group for a beer on the road have been before us our cuddly soft (warmen!) beds in the Guest House expected.

On Friday, we are three (Andi, Nici and myself) then gone off alone, without the group, which is also on the same day already gone back home. First up to the Christmas village, where we will be first against the biting cold with hats and gloves are armed. Moreover, even a trip to Santa's Post Office. We were but also served with Christmas stuff in October. So just a few photos at the Arctic Circle made before we moved back to Rovaniemi. On the way we passed a reindeer park, gabs since then, the next attraction - just reindeer. However, fenced off, which is not quite as authentic;) So: first over the fence, in which case Nici first loss (aufgeschrabbte Finge were reported r) (Nici Quote: "i ben verlezdd"):


After the reindeer park adventure we have any "comfortable" climbed the ski jump (or at least I the hill) to give us time to gain a little Rovaniemi hat. After a bit strolled through the city before it was to eat something warm.

short term, we have then made a plan change, as we have from our Oulu deleted program and instead wanted to spend yet another night in Rovaniemi. The best decision we could take. Saturday was the weather bomb - in the morning while -5 ° C, but sun and clear blue sky. Get out into nature. We rented a car and are in the driven about 130km north of Rovaniemi (ie in the Arctic ) located Pyhä-Luosto National Park. But the outward journey has already provided one highlight after another. The view was impressive all the time, and not to forget the reindeer that were in our Empfangskommitee entrance to the park. In the park itself, we are rumgewandert a bit until the sun went down. The ascent proved more difficult than expected, so we have unfortunately not quite manage on the mountain, but we still had a really great views of the surrounding Lapland. On the way back there was still a great sunset to see what the day could not have ended better. Well, however, the auroras have been lacking - but you can not have everything;)


There then has snowed in the night from Saturday to Sunday, but not much. On Sunday morning we went to the Arktikum, the Arctic Museum in Rovaniemi. Very comprehensive and interesting. But too much to tell about it actually not. In the afternoon of 17 clock we went back to Jyvaskyla, another eight hours of driving, but who was definitely worth it.

Have my 550 photos from the weekend have a lot viewable reduced hopefully soon come to that from Nici and Andi. In addition, there're also some videos - I want to do more in the future.

But now enough of the Finnish whole last week has been left, like Russian, now will first rangeklotzt so I can receive in two weeks my visit with a clear conscience. Also has not yet announced a second visit, Eli and Maike come, even on my birthday, I am particularly happy:)
