Day 82 – Went to Santas village!

Journey: Kansallis Puisto National Park – Rovaneimi

Today was a quiet day; a lazy slow start and then a lovely long trail walk at Kansallis Puisto National Park, where we all managed to avoid the bogs (there are 35 different types of bog in Finland)

I was then cruel and drove Mark to Santa’s Village, where we visited the post office and checked with the elves if my neices and goddaughters were still on the nice list – pleased to say they all are ❤️ Mark thinks I should be on the naughty list for dragging him there 😂 Tomorrow we are doing science stuff again so he will be happier ⚛️🔬

Having not had pizza for two weeks we were very tempted to go out for dinner, but it’s so expensive – equivalent of £16 each for a pizza plus drinks. We opted to save the £40 and had healthier mango and courgette rice dish in the van instead. Maybe in Estonia we will get pizza 🤞

Having set up camp and done bedtime walk by the lake, we found a BBQ hut, made a fire and melted some chocolate to dip fruit in. Seriously loving Finland right now, so cosy ❤️
