| I went to the restaurant "Rouhe" for dinner. It has a really
luxury ambience so it was awkward to go there wearing ski wear....   |
| When I had salmon soup last year, it tasted bland. But It was very rich
and could compete with OTSO's or Routa's. On top of that, |
|
I love also some hard raisin breads which came with the soup. To tell the truth, I wanted to have meat-balls too. But I planed to have it tomorrow, so orderd grilled chicken. |
 On the way, I saw the big statue of reindeer in front of K-Market.  |
| The sunset over Äkäslompolo village was sooooo beautiful!!!!! ◎ 360 degrees Panoramic View from the Main Street  |
---------- You're Back!!!!! ---------- When I got to my room in the lodge, I saw my suitcase. Wow!! It's YOU!! I missed you!! |
| Mitsuko told me, "When Japanese tourists had visited Ylläs before,
they had experienced lost baggage too. At that time, one of thier suitcases got to the lodge 3 days after they arrived there at the earliest. |
| But another one hadn't come and the other one had been transported from Rovaniemi, not Kittilä."..... What a terrible story..... |
| I had to get prepared to accept that my suitcase might not have gotten back to me in the worst case scenario at that time. |
So......Thinking about of it now, I was very very lucky to see my suitcase only 2 days after I'd made it to the lodge. Of course, I'd already reported my missing suitcase at Kittilä airport. |
|
In addition, after arriving in the lodge, I also did it on the website
of Finnair, and texted Kittilä airport directry twice...... I did do my best as I could, so They might've paid off.   |
| ---------- The 2nd Northern Lights ---------- I took a nap until 8 and headed for the lake half past 9. |
|
The sky was very clear and starry, and I saw green thin Aurora/Northern
Lights already appeared but they didn't get bigger and changed at all for a while. |
Just at eleven past, Somtheing funny happened!! A party of a few coucasians, who also waited for Aurora/Northern Lights to develop near me, went somewhere. |
|
"Did they give up....?? Yes they might've been right!!" I thought...... But I kept staying on the frozen lake alone for a while. Just several minutes after they left, Aurora/Northern Lights |
|
exploded and danced suddenly. I Wooooooooon!!!!! XD On the way, they must've regreted not persevering afterwards.  |
| To my disappointment, the sky started getting cloudy soon, even though Aurora/Northern Lights still kept dancing loudly. |
|
The time Aurora/Northern Lights started to develop matched the time thick clouds started covering the whole sky. I could see and caputure |
Aurora/Noertern Lights for the precious little time. Not giving up paid
off!! ※ Here are more pictures → Aurora 2020 |
It was -15 degrees and wasn't so cold!! I persverved in Aurora/Northern Lightsa huntting alone, until the very end so I creamed them. Good Night, feeling of surperiority over them!! |
