Excursions



We got up early and had breakfast, got into our ski suits, mine is enormous....!

We went to our coach and travelled to the area where the reinderr sligh ride toboganning,husky ride and snow mobile ride would take place.

The reindeer sliegh ride was a little disappointing as it was a man in a penn pulling a reindeer with a small wooden sledge on the back. it lasted all of 3 minutes.

The tobogan ride was the children taking a toboggan and sliding down a small, snowy hill. Kieran and Rich did it, Siobhan and I watched. We then went on to do the snow mobile ride, apparently as I am the driver it had been agreed by Siobhan and Rich that I would drive it.

I was so nervous but willing to take on the challenge. It was ok bit very hard to control as the machine wanted to veer off of the track. We managed the short course and ade our way to the husky sliegh ride.
I was at the back then Rich and Siobhan and Kieran at the front getting the best view.

The dogs were ready to go and kept pulling at the sledge. when they were allowed to go they stopped barking. We decided to have an extra as one of the things we could do was visit a husky farm. This sounded good.
We got back to the hotel and toyed with the meals again. We went to the local supermarket and bought some things to eat. I have to say the Cosmos reps were most unhelpful.
