A Fine Finn Farm and The Santa Claus Village (Yikes!)
Posted On Wednesday, July 12, 2006 at at 12:34 AM by AlvinWe managed to book a room through the Internet and stayed at a Finn farm, with a mega Finn breakfast consisting of home-made "really rough" porridge, bowls of fruits, tonnes of bread and some major yogurt and of course non-stop supply of fresh air in this beautiful farm. We walked around the local villages, farmlands and relaxed with a sauna followed by a dip in the lake - true relaxation. That's Mandy in the photo enjoying her pre-dinner dip. 
The following day we said goodbye to the nice farm owner and took an overnight train to a cold drizzling Roveniemi and arrived all groggy and disorientated. We quickly warmed ourselves up with a couple of hot coffees and a hearty Scandinavian breakfast. As for the The Santa Claus Village in Roveniemi, unless you are a great fan of his and likes to listen to Christmas Carols in the middle of Summer - skip it ! Below is a photo of his postbox ! 
However, there was one redeeming feature at the Santa Claus Village - you can take a photo right on the Arctic Circle line, loved it !
