Like in the title, the trip to Lapland really was awesome!
Last Thursday we left from Gothenborg and went all the way to Kiruna by bus, a trip that took about 22 hours. When we got there we first had a nice breakfast and then dropped our stuff at the first hostel. It was then time for the first activities, dog-sledging and driving a snow scooter! Really nice, however, taking of your gloves to make a picture while on a snow scooter isn’t such a great idea……it’s cold!
In the afternoon I continued with a trip in one of the iron mines in Kiruna. Even though it was cool to see and hear certain things, for instance the fact that you’re half a kilometer deep at that moment is cool, the trip was rather boring.
The next morning I had some time off so it was a good chance to explore Kiruna and enjoy the terrific weather that day. That afternoon we took the bus again and went to the ice hotel! The ice hotel really looks amazing, and the ice bar is just as good! Drinking out of a glass of ice is weird 
In the evening we went up a hill to see look for the northern light. In the afternoon the sky was very clear unfortunately in the evening it wasn’t really anymore. Still, there was a great view over the city that evening!
In the morning we continued to Narvik in Norway after having dropped off a few people at Abisko. On the road to Narvik we saw some great fjords and from a hill we could see the harbor of Narvik. After Narvik we also went to Abisko where we would spend the night.
That evening started with a sort of quiz. When that finished many people went out to look for the northern light again. Unfortunately it was quite foggy so no chance of seeing it this evening either. So after been out once I continued emptying a bottle of medicine.
The next morning I had to go out early to pack my things and to go to the sauna by a lake. This really was awesome. First, you go in a sauna, and then you run to a gap in the ice, jump into it, get out again, and run as fast as you can back into that sauna! 
After the sauna we went back to the hostel, waited till the others were finished with other activities and then went on to visit some Sami and reindeers. At around 3 o clock we unfortunately left again for a long trip back to Gothenborg. Wish I could have stayed just a bit longer……
