• Day 2. Full crazy day, huskies and santa

    February 17 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ -10 °C

    This will be in 2 or 3 parts lol.
    Well, Day 2 here in Finnish Lapland what a day so far, my first full day here, this morning I had a lovely breakfast, even if I did sit down, got back up and my spoon had been cleared away lol.
    I went to the Safartica office and met my guide Boris for the husky thrill of speed tour, there were quite a few of us..I decided to wear one of there sexy look all in ones,of course I was given a child's/dwarfs one!
    Well...thrill of speed indeed, when it was my turn to be at the helm...I crashed 🤣, just the usual day abroad for me, but no wheels involved, just a sledge and lots of furry legs, mine included (it is cold here u know, u need extra warmth)!
    Anyway we all got back up, myself, my Austrian passengers and the beautiful huskies, no injuries just laughter 🤣.
    After I managed somehow to navigate the rest of the course crash free, we could then make more of a fuss of the huskies, soooo gorgeous.
    Then into a hut for some hot berry juice which was gd as I couldn't feel my hands or lips, and we had a talk on the huskies.

    When we arrived back to the office I asked Boris about getting to Santa's village and he was taking some people back there so I hitched a lift.
    I went in far too many gift shops that I'm broke, had a picture with a giant snowman, sent some postcards from Santa's official post office (of course) which cost a fortune!!! Crossed the arctic line and was live on YouTube for a brief time..it was -9 after all.

    Now back at the hotel for a few hours eating some sorta very questionable air dried reindeer snack before I meet back at the office for an aurora borealis picnic...ooohhhhhh sounds fancy, I think may include snow, and be very very cold, also hopefully the lights will make an appearance but god damnit, it's quite cloudy, and the Australians from the morning tour have been here 4 nights and not seen em.

    So I'm relying on someone up there to help a gal out pleasssseee 🤞.
    Just another Racquelle adventure xxx
