Our journey to the Arctic Circle

It is fair to say we have been off the radar for the last week as we enjoyed life up in the Arctic Circle – in Lapland, Northern Finland. Why, I hear you ask?  Well, as many of you know, we chose to get married in a small ceremony in Sweden, on 16th February 2013 & then followed this up with a rather wonderful wedding reception in the UK in April.  We didn’t want to go on our honeymoon before the end of all of these celebrations so we decided, after lots of deliberation, that our honeymoon would happen (rather belatedly!) for our 1st anniversary.Anita & Ben Husky SleddingAnita & Ben SnowmobilingAnita Reindeer SafariAnita Glass IglooNorthern Lights

 

 

And it did…

 

 

We stayed in a rather quaint log cabin complete with its own log fire.

 

 

And anyone who knows us will know how much we enjoy trying new things, so we had a bash at…

 

 

…Husky sledding (you can read more about this here)…

 

 

…Snowmobiling…

 

 

…Reindeer Safari-ing (at much slower pace than the previous two excursions)…

 

 

…Oh, & for our final night, contrary to what they forecast said & made especially epic by the fact that we were staying in a glass igloo…

 

 

…the Northern Lights appeared for us…

 

 

So we would now, one year on, like to thank you everyone who came to & was a part of our wedding, & to everyone who contributed towards the most fantastic – words cannot describe – wedding present we could ever have hoped for…the chance to make memories from our adventures together. We had a blast!
