After retiring to bed around 12.30am, I found that I was that hyped up that I couldn't really sleep. I closed my eyes and dozed for a while and then took a quick look at my watch as the light was quite bright through the curtains, It was 2am. After a few more times of doing the same, I decided to get up and take a walk (3.45am) while the wife and kids stayed in bed. Firstly i walked down the lane from our cabin in the general direction of the two restaurants, Jullis and Pipola and towards the supermarket. Upon reaching the end of the lane, I had a great view of Lake Akaslom
polo and decided to walk down to the waters edge. On route, I took a few pics to show how light it was at this time of morning (pic taken at 4.18am) and have included one of these as shown. Next I reached the Pipola Bar/Restaurant, and it appeared that it was turning out time (4am) as there were many people staggering back to their houses/cabins and hotels as well as a couple of taxis coming and going to take people home. Next stop was the supermarket where I checked the opening times so later we could stock up on supplies and the clock outside said the temperature was 5 degrees. After a few minutes I decided to head back and continued passed our lane and down towards the Destination Lapland office (again to check opening times) and the Akas Hotel (Snow Elf). Finally, after about an hour or so of fresh air, I returned to our cabin and back to bed where I stayed until about7.30am. Once the family was up and about, we visited the supermarket to stock up on supplies and spent the rest of the day exploring the local area, taking a few more pics like the one here of a roaming rei
ndeer and looking at the Souvenir Shops, Ski Shop and Post Office before stopping off at Jullis at about 3pm in the afternoon http://www.jullis.com/ for our first local meal of a specialist Jullis Burger and Chips (with hindsight, I really should have taken a photo of one of these as they're really for those with a Hearty appetite!! Enough said, I scoffed the lot!!) . Following this, we took a short walk and then returned to our cabin for the day to familiarise ourselves with it, take a sauna and enjoy its surroundings.
