again because of the much-heralded Lapland, and I'm still overwhelmed. The long trip - twelve hours by train and five hours by car - have more than paid off for this magnificent landscape. Compared to the first trip in October we had of course been much more darkness. But even though (or rather say, because) the sun at midday on or has been destroyed, and the vieeel slower than it is in the southern intrinsically safe realms is accustomed, the days were actually mainly from solar to sub-programs, and from morning to afternoon at half past nine to three. Luckily it was cloudy rare. The whole thing then Lapland in a snowy landscape: endless expanses and small mountains, forests, semi-frozen lakes - just fantastic. After the previous long abstinence sun here in Jyväskylä was the sun, or what we have understood from her, so impressive. Especially on the five-hour return trip, we have seen the whole "routine" and are driven by a stunning backdrop to the next. It is therefore forgiven me also that, most of the over 100 pictures this time of sky, landscape and street - but I could not just leave and had to try to capture impressions. If you take the photos and the videos this time reflect, look at rest, which can perhaps understand to some extent. 
What typical winter Lapland associations are there? Cold, snow, desert, Husky sleigh, Santa, northern lights, reindeer. The first: it was cold not at all, unfortunately, the mercury fell below the 0 ° C limit rarely easy. This is what one is not yet December 400km north of the Arctic Circle! As it was in Jyväskylä and probably in Germany even colder. Too bad, -20 ° C, but they do sometimes. Well, accordingly, it was also difficult with the snow, at least was concerned, what snow. Compared to Southern and Central Finland was up there at least still old. Who is then transformed by light rain and the temperature in mirror-smooth, frosting-like white paint, which was considered very pretty. Glassy but only off the streets. These were all evacuated very beautiful and diversified as driving was no problem.
wilderness? Yes, and how. But just the epitome of Finnish recovery. Our rather small hut stood alone 40km west of Ivalo, close to the Russian border, right on Lake Inari . It was really quiet. The Mökki course, was how to present it to a dark red, cozy log cabin. With sauna. Relaxation.
we come to Husky sled. We had been concerned that our Husky trip would fall into the water, but it was still all good. However, shortened because of the warm climate. An hour on the carriage was already an impressive experience. After that it was still a little leadership on the Husky Farm and lunch at the camp fire in a wooden hut. Of course, very touristy, but somehow belongs to us, after all tourists. Speaking of tourists now, of course, was the Christmas Village and again on our way and we have the full dose of Christmas spirit picked up. Even if we were not personally at Christmas - what with 25 € per person is a bit exaggerated. On an excursion to the Finnish Lapland Santa Village belongs to the Arctic Circle but easy to - this was probably also thought all the other tourists who were carted there by coach. Nevertheless, the Christmas spirit:
But we come again to what more pleasant. The most impressive for me were probably the auroras we've really got to face. Even on two evenings in a row. At first we thought the moon would illuminate a cloud somehow greenish, But as the moving and then suddenly the whole sky was full of green lights, but then we were sure it could be not only the moon. On the second evening we could even see violet aurorae. What my camera unfortunately could not capture images of (Andis for now), but remains at least in my memory. So a mad spectacle witnessed is not every day and everywhere. Since then Lapland had me completely enchanted - simply madness.
Lapland The program was then completed with reindeer, we have encountered on our way back three times on the road. Fortunately, in time and seen nothing happened. But that, without the But somehow what was missing.
I think that I first reported from all experiences and impressions. And after the second visit up there I can say this will not be my last - I will meeehr. Prefer one to really crisp temperatures and beautiful blue sky (January to March), Midsummer's Day in June, the summer in July or August, in all colors bright autumn September ... The next holiday will take about a year:)
But about half of this year here in Finland is coming really close, only a few days and I'm back at home. Today I was the last time in the sauna. In the residence is spreading the spirit of optimism out, at least among those who are actually still there. Also my rent is less, Nadine has already left for the Netherlands. Daniela I still not received until Friday, and then there's already so FLOST to pick me up. By Saturday, we will still be in Jyväskylä, then we spend another night in Tampere, on Sunday morning before heading home. Until then, there is still a little time to let it all happen mentally a little revue to spend the last evening with great people, a few souvenirs to buy the home and to look forward to that event.
where I get so first a cold shock when I get off the plane in Bremen. So I had my not necessarily presented: Jyväskylä +4 ° C, Bremen -2 ° C. But perhaps changes in the next few days so a bit of it;)
