On Friday we had to leave vey early from work, meaning like at 3pm or so. That is because we had some exciting plans and places to be at. It was time to leave for our yearly spring vacation to the norther part of Finland, Lapland. On Saturday morning our train arrived to the very cold(or so it seemed) station of Rovaniemi, the place where Santa lives ;-) We started off our holiday with an awesome and filling breakfast at the Sokos Hotel Vaakuna, worth every 12€. And so we headed to our final destination, Levi.
When us kids were smaller(and we had a bigger family car), we used to drive all the way from Pirkkala to Levi. It took us like 12 very slow hours, even though sometimes we stayed the night in Oulu to visit our second cousins'. And every time we saw the welcoming bridge of Levi, that was the best sight and feeling ever after spending too many hours in a car with your annoying sisters and nothing to do. I don't think our parents would handle the drive with us anymore so we just have to settle for taking the train.
We rented a nice little cabin with another family and are staying here until next Saturday. So far we have enjoyed all the snow, I went skiing with dad and we also had our first day of downhill skiing/snowboarding.

Our dinner plan was to this super atmospheric place called Kammi. It was a little cottage, in the middle there was a fireplace and a buffet. The food they served was basically just reindeer meat and some salmon too, so I had my own special food served to the table. Needless to say, all the other people in our party enjoyed the food very much and we left the restaurant with veeery full tummies.
