Our few days in Lapland ended and we boarded the ski bus for the drive back to Rovaniemi. As we left Pyhatunturi we were able to get a photo of the caravan park. We'd been past it a few times but it was always too dark to take photos. And we think we do it tough sometimes - these guys are camping in temperatures as low as -30C!!!
We drove back through Luostro with its ice sculptures. This is where we got off the bus on our first day. This time many people were leaving and our small 20 seater bus was full with a couple of passengers standing for the 2 hour trip to Rovaniemi. We left our luggage in the locked luggage room at the airport as we had about 6 hours to kill before we could check in for our flight.
We're going to fill in this time with a visit to Santa's Village. We caught a taxi for the few kms ride and arrived in daylight which wouldn't last long.
The village is mainly shops selling Finnish goods and souvenirs with some snow activities and it was easy to spend a few hours just wandering around. Santa was home but we didn't visit him. I'm sure he was very tired after all his Christmas activity.
Back to Rovaniemi Airport for the short domestic flight to Helsinki where we stayed overnight in the Airport Hilton Hotel. We had an early rise the next morning for our fight to Copenhagen.
