Touched down at Ivalo airport and it's snowing gently. It's really quite fun to be waking down to plane under the snow, what an experience!
Everyone have to walk down the plane across the runway to the airport. Luckily it's just a short distance. The airport was v small and we waited quite a while before our luggages come out.
The journey was about 45mibs by bus to the hotel. There was quite a lot of people with us about 20, and the hotel needed a bus to ferry us.
We were served a traditional Finnish drink called Golgi which is like a warm sweet berry drink with a cinnamon taste. Nice!
our room was made of wood, it smell v new, think it's just newly built.
The sun never rises here at this time of the month. So it's darkness 24 hrs. Pic was taken at around 3-4pm.
First activity of for the day is Aurora Camp. It's pitch dark and snowing like a blizzard when we set out. No luck with aurora with that kind of weather coz the blizzard is so bad u can't see anything else.
Pit stop at a hut for a hot drink.
Every one was huddled around the fire inside the small little hut. It's v smokey and I felt myself being smoked alive....
My unsuccessful attempt at making at snowman in the dark. There was a family who made a human size height snowman in less than 5 mins.
First dinner meal at the hotel.
