What date in April does this run out, Dave? I've loved my time here so much, I'm gonna book another week from 24th Feb. Though FinnAir only put flights on a week or 10 days before the year, so could book and use the voucher probably mid March if still valid?

Traditional Lappish food of sautéed reindeer, mashed potatoes, pickles and lingonberry jam.

🤣 Look at my ongoing trip report in VIP, has pictures of me in it from yesterday. You can see from them I'm enjoying it immensely 🤣

Get yourself a dip in something like this. Frozen over river, straight outta a roasting sauna, straight into. If you don't take a cardiac arrest, you know you're in decent health 😂 Done it yesterday, contemplating doing it again today, felt so tingly afterwards, could literally feel the blood coursing through my veins.

Superb tonight again. Getting spoilt now!

Epic, just epic, the whole experience and scenery 😎

Was getting kitted up for the snowmobiling. They did do you support QPR, have a special boot section as we had so many requests from a Mr A @galenkia

Are you lecturing again 🤣 Only joking, yea I know. You have to have a full driving licence as a minimum. And I'll have my own guide, going at my own pace, at least at the start.

Change! Tomorrow gonna be doing snowmobiling in one of these. They're huge, big powerful things. Can do up to 120kmph ffs. @maipenrai will be on telling me the kindergarten kids drive these toys 🤣

Ice fishing on a frozen lake in Lapland. Wild reindeer walking past, the silence, the at one with nature. Loads of small Perch, but it was the experience, just sitting there 'in the wonder' to quote a well known Pattaya chap lol Wonderful!

No, freezers provided!

2 nights in a row, phenomenal! Ice fishing for my dinner tomorrow. Wonderful place, wonderful feeling of serenity.

Snowshoe trekked to a hermits cabin this morning. Guy was a photographic journalist, just decided he'd had enough of the world he knew. Went to the wilderness, built himself a 'cabin', lived his life out. He's dead now, though thankfully people are respectful. His cabin is pretty much as he had it, even still has his passport. Some people are just built different.

Reindeer soup!

Yea, I'm definitely gonna fit that in as well.

Unfortunately no, though I'm doing a 2 hour husky mushing trip on Tuesday or Wednesday. Hunting the Auroras tonight again, just tag along for free. Then doing ice fishing tomorrow. Whatever day I don't do the huskies, I'll do the snowmobiling. Feel so calm and at chilled already.

This be more what you're used to

Snowshoe trekking. Sure what else would you be doing on a Sunday morning, it's only -10 ffs. Bikini weather for @maipenrai

Exploring!

Only arrived a couple of hours ago!

Aye, don't know what happened with those 2 posts. No text, then quoting myself instead of edit, spelling mistakes all over the shop. I was multitasking, drinking a large latte, eating a falafel wrap, me being a soy boy poof like @galenkia, and posting. I'll do better next time Boss! Menu of where I'm staying, reindeer reindeer and reindeer!

Have to say I'm impressed with FinnAir and Helsinki Airport. Flight was under 3 hours, had loads of just out movies in an individual screen back of the seat. I mind the days when I first started coming to Thailand, the big screen front of the airport, thst was it lol. No queues at all at passport control, I expected it bust as first day of Finnish school holidays, people flying back to go skiing. Loads of Asian restaurants in the Airport. Seen a few Chinese planes and the obligatory fag waver lol. And what about the free blueberry juice, was proper lush. It's the little things 😂

On the new Elizabeth Line to Heathrow. It's very nice, very smooth, but also plagued with delays, so shitting myself a but every time it takes a bit longer to move on from a station. Only 2 stations let now, phew!
