We fueled the polar vehicle and took on a full load of provisions as we set off north on the dash to the Pole. Actually it was a sunny day and we were wearing t shirts!
We had several stops for reindeer on the road but a major encounter with the widlife was at Ranua. Yes we went to the zoo. We saw the feeding of the polar and brown bears, saw moose, elk, reindeer, mink, lynx, wolverine and lots more.
We rested the huskies while we had a picnic lunch. We finally selected a base camp, the City Hotel at Rovaniemi. We then made the dash up to the Arctic Circle and Santa's Village. The Arctic Circle is clearly marked and you can go through the same antics as you do at the Meridian of Greenwich.
Yes we had our photo taken with Santa and gave him up to date information on who has been good. We also visited about twenty of the souvenir shops! It was very commercial but after all it was Christmas in July.

Wow, I wonder if global warming has something to do with the fact you can wear a t shirt at the north pole.
I hope you told Santa I was good.
We're having a Christmas party next weekend. I'm just about to go outside and put up millions of Christmas lights. John is hiding in bed pretending to be asleep until it is over.
Do you plan to visit the south pole next? hehehe.
does a wolverine really look like Hugh Jackman (yummy)?
(Don't tell Santa I said the yummy bit, will you?)
By the way, I only want to win the Lordi postcard if you write something about poo on it so that Josh can take it for news.
Please Santa I've been good!
Did you know Polar bears are one of the few animals that consider humans as food!
Taf what a fabulous idea, I could also use a Hugh Jackman like Wolverine.
