After a most peculiar night in the Snow Hotel we headed towards Sweden and border town village of Muonio. There we went to first meet huskies and then for a very speedy sled ride with them. It was quite amazing to watch the huskies as the sleds were being prepared to go out. They were all so super excited about the chance to go for a good run that they were jumping up and down, some of them even howling like wolves!
The ride itself was super beautiful but cold even with all the extra gear on we were give. After the husky ride there was something quite different in the program: winter touch rugby on the ice. I never realised just how hard it is to run in the snow before! After an hour of game I was just dead. We played New Zealand vs. The rest of the World, and to my sorrow I must say that the Kiwis beat us (but only by a cat’s hair).
In the evening we took full advantage for the bar at our accommodation and arranged an hilarious Air Guitar Championship. The Grand Champion in this tight competition was Dean with his amazing version of Lordi’s Hard Rock Hallelujah.
