3rd day in Oulu

 

Today,our journey embarked on the train to reach the destination of Rovaniemi.When we arrived,we explored the center of the city and then caught the bus heading to the village

 of Santa Claus (Lapland). Upon arriving, we were greeted by the extraordinary atmospheric scenery and we wandered through the village as we bought many souvenirs. Also, we went on a husky ride on a sleigh and we got to pet them;their fur was so thick and soft! In addition, we wrote a letter to Santa, and then we returned to Rovaniemi. There, our next stop was the Arktikum museum where we learnt many interesting facts about the animals in the arctic circle and the way of life there. When we returned to Oulu, we had dinner together (Italians) and headed back to our guest house. It was really a memorable experience today and a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are truly blessed to have experienced it!
