Hi Mike!
Ive just had the most fantastic experience of my life. We went to Lapland! It was aschool trip (one week instead of school) and it was fantastic. We went reindeer spotting
with a Sami guide. He took us into the tundra where we walked for ages in the freezing
cold, but suddenly, in the middle of all the empty snow, we saw a huge herd of reindeer.
We visited a Sami camp too. We saw people making knives and leather clothes andhousesall from reindeer. Their houses seemed really warm and comfortable. We also
went on a sled ride with husky dogswith a driver. We went really fast and it was so
exciting, and guess whatwe found Father Christmas. He was hiding behind a tree (onlyjoking!).
One afternoon we drove north and stayed there deep in the Arctic Circle. We didnt
experience the midnight sunthat only happens in summerbut we saw the mostamazing Northern Lights. They were fantastic, absolutely stunning. You see so many
colours dancing around the sky.
But I think the best thing was we stayed in an ICE hotel. Can you believe it a hotel
made just of ice? You sleep on ice beds, you sit on ice chairs OK, with reindeer skins
on top, and dont worry the hotels a nice, warm 5C! The hotels in a place calledJukkasjarvi. Its very small and quiet with just a museum and a restaurant. But the
museums really interesting. It has an exhibition about the Sami way of life.
This was absolutely the best trip Ive ever been on. Go there too you really must.Love
