Lappi

Talvimökki: From Helsinki/Lapland 04-05

Lappi is the Finnish name for their part of Lapland, the home of the Sami and their reindeer herds.  We're off there for the New Year and a couple of weeks of snow, skiing (both flavours), huskies, reindeer, sauna, ice fishing, kammos (that's the winter darkness) and hopefully the northern lights - we'll skip the wolves, bears and lynxes thanks. 

I imagine it will be a tad more authentic than the West Midlands Lapland...
