Today was the last day of the Lapland Adventure. We started off super early so that those who had booked the cruise on the Sampo ice breaker would get to Kemi in time for this Arctic Adventure. While they were off playing with a huge piece of machinery and floating in the ice, the rest of us enjoyed a very Finnish thing: the mobile phone throwing Championship, where Jason and Rachel were crowned the Grand Champions.
On the last day we also visited the Kemi Snow Castle, which was a lot bigger than I recalled. Too bad nowadays all the programs there are for kids. It would have been nice to spent our last night in Lapland listening to some live music in the Snow Castle.
We had our farewell dinner at an excellent Vietnamese restaurant in town before heading to the train back to Helsinki. On the train some … odd things went on and some people may or may not have gotten hitched in a very colourful … ceremony.
All in all the Lapland tour has gone much better than I thought. The people have been amazing and it’s been loads of for me. There were a couple of hiccups on the way, but in the end it was small potatoes. Thank you all for making this an experience to remember!
