reasons for any false answers. Then answer the
questions.
Hi Mike!
I’ve just had the most fantastic experience of
my life. We went to Lapland! It was a school trip
(one week instead of school) and it was fantastic.
We went reindeer spotting with a Sami guide. He
took us into the tundra where we walked for
ages in the freezing cold, but suddenly, in the
middle of all the empty snow, we saw a huge
herd of reindeer.
We visited a Sami camp too. We saw people
making knives and leather clothes and houses –
all from reindeer. Their houses seemed really
warm and comfortable. We also went on a sled
ride with husky dogs – with a driver. We went
really fast and it was so exciting, and guess what
– we found Father Christmas. He was hiding
behind a tree (only joking!).
One afternoon we drove north and stayed
there deep in the Arctic Circle. We didn’t
experience the midnight sun – that only happens
in summer – but we saw the most amazing
Northern Lights. They were fantastic, absolutely
stunning. You see so many colours dancing
around the sky.
But I think the best thing was we stayed in an
ICE hotel. Can you believe it … a hotel made just
of ice? You sleep on ice beds, you sit on ice chairs
… OK, with reindeer skins on top, and don’t
worry – the hotel’s a nice, warm –5C! The
hotel’s in a place called Jukkasjärvi. It’s very small
and quiet with just a museum and a restaurant.
But the museum’s really interesting. It has an
exhibition about the Sami way of life.
This was absolutely the best trip I’ve ever
been on. Go there too – you really must.
