3 Igloo, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. Still, even taking into account unfortunate accidents, Room 101 was probably more comfortable than the other accommodation option!

4 Where We Were, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. The hotel had a helpful map in the lobby, showing where we actually were.

5 A Long Way From Home, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. I found this sign more effective in demonstrating just how far away we were from home.

6 On The Border, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. In fact, we were exactly on the border between Sweden and Finland, as this sign attests.

7 All Wrapped Up, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. The humans had to wear special protective gear to survive the cold. I, of course, was perfectly comfortable in my fur.

7 Sunrise, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. We crossed the border to visit the northern most church in Sweden, which rather picturesquely posed with the glorious sunrise for us.

8 Church Close Up, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. The church was very pretty once we got close to it, though there was nobody around, even though it was Sunday morning.

9 On The Naughty Chair, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. I bet the kids here are always really well behaved if this is where they’re sent when they’re naughty!

10 Reindeer, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. One of our excursions was to a reindeer camp, which we arrived at shortly before it was fully light.

11 Sleigh Ride, originally uploaded by Aloysius_Flyte. The consensus was that the reindeer sleighs were more comfortable than the husky sleds, but less comfortable than the snowmobiles. Perhaps less exciting than either, but more sociable and definitely more relaxing.
