Twentieth week in Lapland

This week, I went to Lapland. More than 3000 km, with 3 driver. We left Livonsaari at 11:00. We arrived at Rovaniemi about 2:00 am that night.
 
The second day, we visited an amethyst moutain, at the northeast of Rovaniemi. We arrived at Kilpisjarvi in the evening, they had 1 or 2 degrees, with a thick fog.
The day after, we took a boat trip to see the tripoint borders. A walk of two hours in a beautiful national park and a very nice picture of reindeer. Hilke, François, Attila, Anna and I had a good time there. Miss McAbre also enjoy her time there.
We spent the next two day in Norway. Tromsö and Narvik are beautiful cities. Splendid landscapes with fjords, mountains, waterfalls and snow-capped peak. Also the first time I see roundabouts in tunnels...
And the best part of the trip for me, was to Kiruna in Sweden. We spent the night with people I met on couchsurfing, Marta and Michal, great polish people. A shower and a bed, how can we do without a minimum of comfort? Thank you, one more time. Two intelligent and beautiful dogs. An evening Vodka Finlandia, Rhum Charette and Hungarian Pálinka. And the day after, we visited this wonderful wooden church, and heard the bell's music of the town-hall at 12:00 o'clock... Amazing!
