Syl and I have been married thirty years and wanted to mark it with something different so ..Lapland here we come 
A nice Norwegian air flight up to kiruna well within the arctic circle ,
A couple of night at camp Ripan
Then a roam around town looking at craft and camping shops ,
All the normal stuff,
Kiruna is a interesting place ,
Even had a singer in a second hand store
Syl was happy elk hunting
Next day I had arrange for collection from our hotel of all our camping gear and off we went to meet the dogs that will carry us out into the nature for a couple of days
Syl helping to sort out the dogs
Load up jump on and we were away ,
About an hour later we were dropped of in our own bit of winter wonderland
Time to get the snowshoes on and make a base the snow was very deep ,
Getting the lavvu up ,
Stove in and get some wood prepped
Syl starts to get comfy
The snow melting starts
Next morning its time for a look about
Arrr a dead standing branch
Get the snow shoes on and make a path
Get the axe out and start cutting
Then get sawing ,,,
Always remember to knock the snow from the tree before you go for it ,,,,,How Syl laughed
Syl did her share it was very nice to spend time together in such a fantastic environment ,
Its a win, loads of fire wood to keep us warm though the night ,
Nice view to ,
Syl relaxing
Nice dry gloves in the roof
It amazing how much light is given off by candles in snow ,
Another day and more awesome-ness
Me roaming
Syl enjoying a brew
The time had come to pack up ,
Digging out the snow pegs
I go to drive a snow mobile on the way to our hosts camping lavvu .
At the lavvu more dogs getting prepped for a good run ,
Syl chatting away
Our ride and gear
Then back to kiruna for a sit down ,,,,
What a fantastic trip we did hope to see the Northen light but no show ,,,,we will go back again
To finish our trip we headed down to Stockholm for a couple of nights as I wanted to see the sailig ship Vasa ,,,,it didn't disappoint .
Enjoy
