... dachten vroeger dat het noorderlicht kwam doordat er een vos snel over de velden liep. Zijn staart raakte de lucht en de sterren aan, waardoor het noorderlicht ontstond. Wat ik ook erg interessant vond is de oorsprong van het woord Arctic. Het komt namelijk van het Griekse woord Arktikos, wat het land van de grote beer betekent.

And hard boiled eggs are a travellers best friend. Lulea tomorrow and then the train to ...

Hot wings for tea at hemingways pub and that was probably the height of it. Santa Claus tomorrow and then a bus to kakslauttanen for the glass ...
Mokki Weekend!

After deciding we were almost toasted, we would run down the pier and climb as fast as we could down the ladder to the lake... it was FREEZING! But you felt so good afterwards. Did I mention that there was no running water at the cottages? To shower, we bascially mixed boiling water with freezing water and tipped buckets of water ...
