Now I am in the Arktikum science museum in Rovaniemi!
This Museum shows culture, history, and modern life in the Arctic. Concepts such as human life in tune with nature are explored in depth.
It’s really original because there are many activities thatmake the visit more fun. Firstly I see a film about the Arctic nature. After changing room, I enter a dark circularplace and... I have to lie down along: I can watch the Aurora Borealis! It’s amazing!

Entering a room, I feel cold. In front of me there is a strange object: it’s a pieceof ice that is kept in an arctictemperature. Brrr…it is freezing cold!
An important part of this Museum isdedicated to the environmentaldegradation of the Arctic, caused by the pollution from each country in the world. I come into a room, where there are the most polluting things present in the World, like Oil.

Candy ShopIn Finland Candy shops are very popular. I am going into a big one in Tornio. Here I shall buy the best chocolate in Finland, Fazer, that is one of the souvenirs of Finland you cannot miss. I’ve just entered what is really a big supermarket and I can see around me many shelves with every kind of sweet..it’s incredible! And not only the modest packages I am used to seeing, but huge sizes, like the Toblerone of 2 kg. After having a tour among those shelves, I find the chocolate I want so I buy one bar of milk, one with berries.

I am in one of the most magicalplaces in the world: Santa Claus’ s village, Rovaniemi!
About 10 years ago, It became the most visited Christmas attraction in North European countries thanks to direct contact with the Nature!
Here I will be able to meet Santa Claus in person!

What do Finnish guys do in the evening?
They have at their disposal some buildings (usually houses) where they can go without paying !! And there they play cards, play the guitar, dance, sing…

I’m now visiting the city of Bayonne, there are a lot of things to see here but in my opinion every tourist should visit the beautiful gothic cathedral that is a HistoricalMonument of France and also a UNESCO Human Heritage site. As soon as you enter the cathedral you’ll be impressed by the stunning brightness of the sun-light through the stained glass windows

Sport and outdoor activities
Now we’ll have some free time. So… Let’s try the most famous sports of this region.Basque pelota is very popular, you have to play with a little ball in a "trinquet" which is a gymnasium with a left-hand wall.
Arteka in Bidarrai is a place where you can do rafting in Bidarrai's river, it is great, and it is an exciting experience. You should try too!
