5Jan D2 Snowmobile on Barents sea Norway, stay Saariselkä, Finland

3-15 Jan 2025 Scandinavia adventure

At 330am Fin time, I was awakened by the sound of messages on my phone.
I could not get back to sleep, reason could be it was morning 930am in Sgp.
My body was going through jetlag.
The same reason why our tour mates were sending messages at that same time.😠



Photos our neighbour sent



I went to the washroom, tried to sleep, woke again to take pictures, tried to sleep again,
and finally I made so much noise that I woke everyone up to do what we did not do the night before.
Take more photos of the igloo!!





































Breakfast starts from 8am


Checked out and depart at 915am.

Goodbye igloos.. we will miss the place.

Crossing the border


Crossed the bridge and we will be in Norway.
The time difference is one hour slower in Norway.

In Norway, we start to see the difference in landscape.. the country has lots fjords, red houses - colour from the copper ore. It was a 3-hours bus journey, so it was a sightseeing from the bus.






















Instructions before changing into the clothes they provide.



Drivers only




Yoyo was on that sleigh










Time to drive!!





Time to fish the king crabs


















"aaah".. it's SK

Entering tepee to have fish cake/salmon/king crab lunch

We were served warm blueberry juice upon entering




And ginger biscuits


Fish cakes with bread were being served first



Cheers to mulled wine

Salmon next






























It was 3 hours journey to rest stop next, and then it will be 1 more hour to the hotel.
None of us were hungry due to too much crab😅, so we took only light snacks at the rest stop.



We arrived at hotel Santa Tunturi, Saariselkä


Cute tepee near hotel

Our group will be staying at Näätä building.






At 1030pm, we gathered for our first hunt short walk away from hotel, but it was too cloudy.
We were told to come back the next night to try again.






Credits to tour mate for these beautiful scenes





















Travel route for day two.
