Today was our last full day in Luosto - there was no set activities but you could book additional ones if you wanted to - Peter and I dithered about whether to do another husky safari as it was so outrageously expensive but when we finally thought 'why not, we are on holiday' they were fully booked - the other choices were either cross country skiing (too hard!) or Ice fishing (to boring!) so we decided to do a walk instead (which costs nothing!). We spoke to our rep who suggested a walk and marked it on our map and off we went - it was a lovely walk - really quiet and peaceful - and we went through wide open spaces as well as through the forest.

We didn't see many people on our walk but we did see a few cross country skiers - just watching them made me feel tired out! Most of where we were walking was snowy but we came to one area where there must have been some kind of flood that had frozen over. It was one thick piece of ice that we had to walk over which, for an ice-phobic like me, is not good but we managed to get over it without slipping over!

As there was so much untouched snow we couldn't resist doing our own snow art - see below!

In the afternoon I went swimming in the pool and had a jacuzzi whilst Peter watched the cricket on his laptop. In the evening our entire group (22 of us) got together for a farewell dinner and to celebrate one of the group's birthdays which was a nice way to end a great holiday.
