The group
included my girlfriend Marzia, Romy, Salome and Iris who are also Erasmus
students, participating in different courses. We departed from Turku, Friday 10th
November and we were all definitely excited for the path ahead of us! The first
stop in our itinerary was Oulu. This drive was around 7-8 hours for us so we
arrived late in the evening and did not get to see much. There was already a
noticeable temperature change as we drove further north and the ice had made
the roads slightly more challenging, but that was not a problem for myself and
Romy.
We did not
see much of the city of Oulu, as we continued to our furthest destination as
quickly as possible. The next stop was Roveniemi, which if you know Lapland
then it’s likely you have heard of Roveniemi. It is the home of Santa Claus and
there is a dedicated town for him.
Roka street
food is a restaurant I can recommend to anyone. It was there that I had
possibly the most delicious sandwich in the world. It was a Reindeer sandwich
with lingonberry jam, coleslaw, salad –http://www.ravintolaroka.fi/en
We also drove to Santa's village in the afternoon. It was a nice place, but it was quite commercial for me with a lot of shops and not too many people or activities. I would therefore not recommend it.
