from cooool & sunny finland

yes...it's cool here, especially since the 30-35 degrees we had in NL the last few days.
today it was around 16 degrees with some clouds and a lot of sun...and the sun is still above the sky right now (23:20 local time)

so where am i...? in ivalo, finnish lapland! tomorrow it's a 400 km drive to the north cape, please keep your fingers crossed with me that we'll see the midnight sun there this time!!!

the group is very nice, friendly people who are happy to be on a holiday...and happy to escape the heat haha! then there's driver ilka who i already know so that's nice :)

i have to say it's a lot more relaxed to do a trip that you've already done before. i know all i want/need to tell already and keep thinking of more stuff to add of course...there's always more to tell.

tonight i went to the sauna here in the hotel, so now i can finally say i've been to a ' real' (read: finnish) sauna. after the sauna i took a dip in the swimmingpool, which was c-c-c-cold!!! i did swim around for 20 minutes or something...so now i'm all fresh and quite awake actually...lol!

but i'd better go to bed after this, it's a long day tomorrow, we leave here at 8:45 and i probably won't be in bed before 01:00, after which it's another early start...and another one...and another one...welcome to the life of a travelguide ;)
