Inari ( a small village just besides Lake Inari, a huge lake with more than 3000 islands about 100 km long and 60 wide. This unique lake is the only one in the world North of the Arctic Circle that melts during the summer months, allowing for great fishing and sailing.

During the winter season the lake is also one of the best places is the world where to observe the Northern Lights, and while I did see them when I was last here in 2008 I was not as lucky this year. I did get the chance to visit the SIIDA museum, perhaps my favorite in the world which I highly recommend you visit if in the area. In fact I think this is the only museum in the world I have voluntarily visited twice- that actually says a lot!

I then made my way south towards a husky farm, but because I was in the area late in the season I was not able to join a husky tour, something I still have to do. I learned about reindeer and next went to Saariselka, a very popular skiing town just a few minutes away (you can read about my visit here There I visited the Angry Birds Theme Park which will delight kids and prepared for the fun I was to enjoy the following day.

Feel free to ask any question, I'll be happy to answer them all!
