!Huskies!
Wow! Whoa wow! I want a husky!
Had a really good, yet quiet at times, time in Rovaniemi. The town itself is very smallsowe had walked the entirety of itin the first day and it seems the staple food that doesn't cost the earth is pizza!! We have managed to not have pizza at all so far and found a couple of not too expensive places but thinkwe have exhausted them so pizza it is tonight!
Went went snowmobiling under the stars. Was pretty tame for most of it but still fun. We went all through the trees and on the frozen river. Then stopped for tea and sausages by a camp fire and looked at the sky.No northern lights though and our guide said he had not seen themyet this year!! On the way back we did go faster. Mike reckons we got up to about 85kph (on his speedo) which apparently is as fast as the ones we were on go so not so bad. It's cold on your face so any faster.......
Then today we went to see the huskies. We were out on the sleds for quite a while. About 3 hours in total with another tea and sausage break (although this time it was hot berry juice!! Get me some more of that ). I drove first...man its hard, if you think you just pulled along then you're wrong. You work just as hard as the huskies! I was exhausted by the campfire break. Lots of fun though. The huskies turn around and give you a look if you stop helping them as if to say 'Come on you fat b@$!?#d!!!'
Mikes turn then, he got tired bless him so we swapped back. I think he was pretty tired but also just couldn't be bothered and I think he enjoyed just sitting there being pulled along. Especially joining in with the huskies when hassling me to keep going!! I didn't mind though as I prefered driving. Just sitting you got cold!
Back to the farm for pancakes and a look around and little play with the puppies. Soooooo cute!! And then it was time to leave.
Leaving Rovaniemi tomorrow on a bus to Inari. Even further north! What are we doing? Going to see some Sami people and their handicrafts. Should be good.
Until the next time! Hooowwl!!!
