Lapland and Santa!

Well, that was a fun holiday in Lapland!

We have returned from 5 days in a winter wonderland, where we went husky sledding, reindeer sleighing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, tobogganing, saw Santa, made snow angels and fell onto our butts (ok, that last one was mainly me).

The adventure was shared with our friends Sam and Eion, which meant double the fun and double the trouble :)


As you can see, it really was a spectacular holiday - both by the activities and the scenery. It was unlike anything else I've ever seen before, with snow just everywhere!

The weather was kind to us, with temperatures in the range of -6 to -12 centigrade. Which sounds a little chilly, but isn't so bad with the 4 layers of clothing - underwear, thermals, pants/shirt and over suit - between you and the elements.

Once again, be sure to check out the photos online.

Now we just have to work out where to head off to next... Amsterdam sounds interesting. We will keep you posted!
