Skiing in a Winter Wonderland
... lift. Finland doesn't have high mountains, so Pyha is one of the major resorts along with Levi. There weren't many people skiing & fresh snow, so much better than battling the crowds at Mt Buller.

Na het chillen weer een museum bezoeken, maar ah, slecht weer en storm op komst. Nu zitten we in Tankavaara Gold Village. Hier vind je oude gebouwen die nagemaakt zijn van tijdens de "Gold Rush" periode.
