Northern Lights
We arrived in Inari, a tiny little village, and wondered into the hotel to find a room. The hotel is also the pub/restaurant/cafe/bus station etc.... basically everything. Mike reckons we were in 'Hicksville'!
Anyway, it turned out ok in the end. The museum I wanted to go to was closed on the monday so we had to stay an extra night so I could go Tuesday morning. Just spent the day wondering the village which took about 15 minutes so I wondered it a few times!
Both evening turned out pretty good. The first night we met an Australian girl who was so flustered and obviously had a bad journey I think she was quite happy to sit and have a couple of beers with us. Also a guy from Tampere who was living in Inari studying was ther. Skinny guy with long blonde dreadlocks and pretty drunk by the time he joined us!! He owns a VW Golf though so Mike was happy and they chatted cars all night.
The nortyhern lights showed themselves that night too which Mike saw but Hayley was MIA due to being stuck talking to the drunk student inside. Felt rude just leaving him as all the others had gone outside and I didn't realise this till too late. Thought they'd all just wandered off somewhere!!
So the next night I was out every few mins to try and catch them but just my luck they didn't show themselves so really disappointed but guess it gives me an excuse to come back one day!
The second night Matti (drunk student) joined us again, well I say night but it was more like 11:30am so thats when I went walking the town and left the boys to chat. This time though a bunch of his mates joined us too in the evening and it turned into a smoking/drinking/pool playing fest!
Good time was had by all I reckon but I was glad to leave the next day as there's only so much sitting around drinking you can do, esp when I can do that at home!
Onward to Kemi...........
