The train arrived in Rovaniemi today morning around 8 am and from there we started driving. First stop was santa park at the Polar Circle for a breakfast feast! Last time i was at Santa Park was something like 15 years ago wishing presents in Santa Clauses lap at some damn cold snowy december (didn't even grant me the present). Stay away from the north after August!
The Polar Circle and Santa Park are really made for tourist, souvenir shop after souvenir shop and really expensive prices. They also had a direction arrow towards Beijing, some way home.
We made a few stops here and there on our way up: Ylläs, Utsjoki, Karhun Tupa and Inari. The Karhun Tupa has a rock from the ice age which is partly hollow inside, it is the only known rock at this size in the world.
The cities on the way are so small that you don't really recognize them as cities...By the roads are a lot of Reindeers and you gotta keep the speed down coz they tend to jump out in the middle of nowhere and just hang around in the street for a while watching the car like some idiots. The rivers here are so clean that the water is drinkable, was really good!
In the evening after 600 km of drive we have arrived in Norway, a small city called Tana Bru
