It’s our third time in Finnish Lapland and we’d never visited the famous Snowvillage until yesterday. It was totally worth-it. We’ve enjoyed the soup buffet...

I've always wanted to stay in an ice hotel, and this did not disappoint. There are some things that are a little bizarre, but it's as much of an experience...
