It looks kind of eerie, being half lit all the time. I bet its really quiet too.
As expensive as I had thought it would be.
Perfect place to go with kids I would imagine with all those activities. Not sure its a place I'd go to ski, but really pleased you loved it.

Thanks Tony it was certainly right for us, and I will tackle those reds, just have to go back next year and master it. Actually already booked. :lol: It was the quietness we loved.

I would love a copy :lol:

Did you find it was extremely expensive? helsinki was but as its the capital i thought it might be abnormally hiked prices. (reindeer is awesome!!)

It was expensive, but I always knew it would be. But even more so with the euro being what it was. I was surprised how expensive reindeer was, considering it is their main sorce of meat. Alcohol was expensive but we are not huge drinkers so it did not matter. They had a lot of really nice ski clothes shops, but really pricey. I wanted a salamon beanie hat, 50 euros, I just could not bring myself to do it. The trips we did are also expensive but we certainly did the right thing pre-booking them all when we booked the holiday, much more expensive now. Hubby had bear one evening when we went out, that was 50 euros.

Just making a mental note to not have this thread on until the kids are in bed. :mrgreen:

Do you know how difficult it was to make that snowman? The snow is just fine powder all the time, it does not stick to-gether.

Looks like a really cool place, will definitely take a look up there myself one day with my newfound love for Finland (even though ive only been once :lol: )

It was amazing, I thought my love was Austria, but have changed. Have now just booked same again for next year.

I know Ross, have had big probs with photos, my lap top does not have a card reader and have had to poach a few from Hubbys photobucket.
