Lapland Part 3!

Our cabin was grand with a brilliant sauna in it and underfloor heating, the snowman was there to greet us and the ice sculptures were dotted around the grounds. The photos from the bridge are Mark casually strolling from Sweden to Finland across the "frozen" river, then Mark sashaying rather more intently back to Sweden after noticing his footprints were filling up with water!

The big question, did we see the Northern lights? Yes a weeny hint of, not yet scrubbed of the bucket list though!

We flew home from Kiruna, spotting a Moose on route! They were very efficiant getting our bags tagged and through security, the lady in charge was just reaching to open the gate to let us board the plane when a thought flashed through her head and she picked up the walkie talkie, well I'm sure I now know the Swedish for "you're shitting me" as she was informed there was no plane to board us on to! Wee delay later and we were heading back to sunny (ha ha) Manchester, on to Cheshire to pick up the latest additions to the broodmare band, then home.
