There is an information board with markings where the train car is located on the platform, so you can avoid unnecessary running.🙂😉
-
You are an entertaining couple. Good videos.
-
Welcome to here during winter. It’s actually magical experience.
-
Please go to Lapland during the winter, it's magical! It was really nice to watch your video 😊
-
Love the video, excited for you to come back in the winter! :)
-
Can't wait for the next episode!

Melissa's so cute!

Rovaniemi is the Santa Town but the town has a bit gloomy history. You won't find any really old buildings there, It was burned down in WW2 by the Germans troops as revenge, like they did in most of the northern Finland. I had family living up there at the time, they had to escape across the border to Sweden.

You two are like the Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus in a making. I definitely felt the Christmas magic. A Finnish Christmas song seems appropriate: "Katri Helena - Joulumaa (1978)". The Christmas Land is not just a snowy fell The Christmas Land is the peaceful state of mind And the trip there won't take that long If everyone has the Christmas Land in their hearts
-
That looks awesome, put it on the retirement bucket list. You guys rock!!! Stay safe.
-
So happy to see you both in my hometown! 😎🙏
-
Finnish train announcement's are allways given at three language, finnish, swedish and english. You fool us little at that 😎
-
Santa lives in Korvatunturi. In Rovaniemi just have Santas Park... =)
-
This was lovely. Melissa looks so excited about all the little things. It always amazes me when people find the "midnight sun" (that we don't even have here in the south) so amazing. I hope you used the blackout curtains though.

Chris reminds me of Mark Hamill

Enjoy

In Finland you don't really have to worry about things like getting to your destination from airports, ferries or train stations, they are packed with busses and taxis.
-
Far better in winter time
-
Nice video and I'm happy that you have had a good time in my home country. I'm almost 55 y.o. Finn and never travelled in a sleeping wagon in a train because I usually do the homeland travel by my RV. Now I'm waiting for the next episode!

You are in Finland?? You traded Portugal for Finland? Traitors! 😅😅😅 Just pullling your legs, guys. Have lots of fun there. From whst i have only seen in photos, Finland is a gorgeaus country, especially the countryside with the woods and lakes. Have a wonderful time, guys. Safe travels.
