The alarm then went on the next morning at 6:30 am in Order to catch the bus departing to Bugøynes, Norway.

There it was promised, that you were able to swim in the arctic ocean.

The bus drive took 4,5 hours to get there. But the landscape got really nice after you crossed into Norway. Finland looks most of the times as if someone decided to iron a country.







The arrival into Bugoynes .



The Bay, where I went swimming.



Luckily they had a sauna there, where you were able to warm up before taking a dip in the sea....

After an hour of sauna and swimming it was then already time to go into the village for some sightseeing and the included lunch .



The tourism office, isn`t that a cute office building ?



The harbour:



The cafeteria for the fish soup lunch is on the left side in an old fish factory.



There was a huge queue for the fish soup .



This is your lunch:



After the lunch everyone had to get back into the bus ride back to Saariselkä . All in all was the excursion a fun day.

The next part is cross-country skiing, a visit to the reeindeer farm and a night snow shoe hiking. I will put this part up tomorrow.
