I don’t like cooking duty in the morning – far to early (six am start) for a vacation.
Today was another bleak day weather-wise, which will hopefully improve as we move further south. Our first stop today was at Santa’s Workshop in Rovenemmi, where we walked through endless souvenir stores and saw Santa. Working even in the off season!
Back on the bus and back to sleep until Tervola, where we made an unexpected stop due to a problem with the bus’s windscreen wipers. It was decided we would have lunch here and that a new bus would be called while we waited for ours to be repaired.
Two and a half hours later we were back on the road in a new bus. We continued to Jyvaskyla, which was another four hours away, to arrive to our picturesque camp site on the lake.

A game of volleyball was followed by a midnight dinner and then a visit by Santa (Carcass) for our gift swapping. I got two shot glasses from the Arctic Circle Centre (from Mark & Heather), while Roberta received a small Viking hat. John got my jigsaw puzzle of Scandinavia.
The night finished at three am with Jamie and Dan coming over for a drink in our room shared with Dave & Melissa.
