③ Severe Snow Storm...


----------  Arrived in Kittilä  ----------




A thirty-minutes flight later, I got to Kittilä finally. But there it was,
the severe snow storm. The strong wind almost blew me away
and lots of snow flakes fit me hard so I hurried into the airport building.


Because of the terrible weather, obnoxious passengers around me, and the long flight
from Japan, I was so tired and vomited at the restroom. Then I heard someone said,
"There is a person who's sick." laughing. And they started mimicking me
"Eew!! Eew!!" Their joke helped me feel better somewhat but I was pucking......

I heard there're lots of people for winter activities at Kittilä airport
during this season but it was so quiet there at the airport even before eight at night.


There were some shuttle buses for "Levi," "Ylläs" and "Muonio."
I found the bus for Ylläs and the driver took care of my suticase and I got on the bus.


-----  Arrived in "Äkäslompolo Village" in Ylläs  -----

It took an hour by bus, cost 15 euros to go to Äkäslompolo and was much more reasonable
than taxi. The bus went around each lodge and eventually got to the "Ylläskaltio" that I stayed at
3 years ago.
Nothing has been changed!! (I took this picture the next day following my arrival.)


When I got to the lodge, it wasn't so late but the snowstorm continued so hard
that I couldn't see any Arora/Northern Lights so gave up... I got some light food
at the cafe next to the front desk, took a shower and fell asleep. GOOD NIGHT!!
