  • Helskini ➡️ Oulu

    November 8, 2022 in Finland ⋅ 🌧 7 °C

    Today, we spent the day in Helsinki.
    After breakfast, we took the ferry ⛴️ to the little island “Suomenlinna”, which was a fort in the 18th century.
    After a great specialty coffee we visited the library and did some shopping.
    After dinner, we spent a lot of money on a couple of beers/ciders (alcohol is quite expensive here) and now we are lying in the night train heading to the next station: Oulu 😊
    We are hoping for some snow ❄️instead of rain 🌧️😬

  • Kuusamo

    November 9, 2022 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    Snow? Check✅ 😎👍
    In Oulu, we picked up our rental (orange
    🤷‍♀️) car and drove to our next station: Glass village close to Kussamo.
    It’s getting dark very early (around 15) and so we decided to stay in our beautiful glass villa for the rest of the day.
    Today, we had an amazing small cozy breakfast and went out for a snow hike ❄️ . We are surrounded by a stunning landscape and some Rudolph’s 🦌were crossing our way 🤩

  • Dear Santa, …

    November 10, 2022 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    After breakfast, we left our beautiful glass villa and drove to Rovaniemi, where Santa lives. And… he is real 😱 omg!
    Unfortunately it costs about 30€ to take a picture with him. So we decided to skip the real photo 🙈
    But Santa’s village is a nice cozy and shiny place. We drank a cup of hot chocolate and drove back to our hotel on the mountain with a private sauna in our hotel room hihi 😊

  • It‘s all about the sky 🌌

    November 11, 2022 in Finland ⋅ 🌧 4 °C

    Yesterday, all activities were determined by the sky. ⭐️
    Due to the rain during the first part of the day, we stayed in our cozy hotel room, but in the afternoon we decided to do some activity and went bowling (Kathi won 😎💪)
    Fortunately, afterwards the sky cleared, so we were able to go… hunting! Hunting northern lights 🤩 🌌
    So, we put on all our clothes 🥶 and we also saw 4 (!) shooting stars 💫, reindeers and a white rabbit! The Aurora was also dancing (watch the video) 🤩
    There is nothing more to say:
    Stunning. Gorgeous.
