We headed north in Finland via Oulu and finally across the Arctic Circle at the Santa Village,a tacky Christmas themed tourist trap, where we got to meet Father Christmas and send early Christmas cards.The further north we travelled the more wind swept and beautifully rugged the landscape became. We crossed into Norway and headed all the way up to Nordkapp, the most northerly point in Europe. We saw herds of reindeer,many birds and some elk and fox.
