“I went to Lapland in December with my Dad, Sister and Niece. The highlight of the trip had to be the day at the Artic Circle Centre, the day we got to meet Santa Claus, and also got a ride in a reindeer sleigh, and the chance to drive a husky sledge. So many highlights on this trip, too many to talk about.
In terms of the experience, we got on this trip during the Covid pandemic vs what it would have been like pre-Covid, I’m not sure that it affected us that much really. Yes we had to wear facemasks on the plane and on the coach journeys (but that seems part of everyday life now), and we had to take some lateral flow tests/have Covid paperwork, none of it affected us playing in the snow, enjoying our sleigh rides, or meeting Santa, and I would do it all over again to have a few more days of fun in Lapland, and to see the smile on my niece’s face during her time out there. The only downside was that the Northern Lights didn’t come out to play when we were there, so I do have a good reason to go back again someday!”
