Lapland-first day in levi

Monday, 02.03

After a very delicious breakfast (a lot of bread, cheese, jam, cornflakes, yoghurt and else), which was far too much, we decided to climb up the mountain and sledge down. We borrowed some sledges from our neighbours (without asking ^^) and went straight to the mountain. Fortunately there were stairs, which made the way up the hill quite easy. Twenty minutes after we reached the top of the hill. The view was breath taking. We tried to build a snowman, but the snow was too soft and dry. That is why we started with a snow fight. Out of breath and frozen we decided to sledge down.

I have to admit, I thought I was going to die. It was steeper then it seemed. To slow the sledge down was nearly impossible.

Fortunately everyone reached the end of the slope unhurt. As a reward we went back to the hotel and drank a hot chocolate followed by a hot sauna.

Of course in the evening was a big party in our cottage with all the participants, which means 60 people. It was much fun, but in my opinion too much alcohol was involved. Anyways, it was an amazing first day in Lapland, despite the fact that we didn’t see the Northern lights.
