Sleep Under the Stars at Ivalo (November 2012)

This was another highlight of our trip.
We flew from Helsinki to Ivalo which was in the North and we stayed at Glass Igloo, Kakslauttanen.
When we were about to land and after our plane landed safely, again we were amazed with black and white view.

 

We landed in snow and walked in snow towards the airport.
The airport was small and built from the wood.

After we arrived at the resort, it was almost dark and our room was walking distance from main building. Therefore no other ways then pulling our luggage and walk in the snow.
We were relieved when we arrived at our igloo and it was unexpectedly warm inside.
There was no shower room inside, only toilet and sink to wash up.
We literally slept under the stars.

Since there was located nowhere, we had dinner in the restaurant there before taking local tour for night reindeer safari.
It was really dark in the deep forest and we had campfire there to rest for awhile.
But it's nice experience.

The next day, we took another reindeer safari since we couldn't take any picture last night.
And we had been entertained by local residents at their traditional tent.

It's really one in a lifetime experience and always be part of our beautiful memory.
