Today was LONG! Up at 3ish to get ready for a 7am flight to Ivalo, Lapland. Our flight was full of families dressed in Christmas garb. I clearly missed the memo to make custom bags and hoodies for the boys! Also, people were wearing Santa hats unironically - they’re actually useful in this weather.
Finally in Ivalo, we had a short coach ride to the beautiful Star Artic Hotel. What a treat! A warm afternoon tea and then a fitting for snow suits and we were ready for the next adventure!
