road trip!
one of the teams we play is all the way in northern Finland, the Laplands. It took us 9 hours to drive there but it seemed to take forever to get there because we had so many stops along the way. We left about 11 and then drove for an hour, stopped and picked up some of the players that live in a different city, drove for a few more hours, stopped for a practice, drove for an hour and then had dinner, drover a few more hours and then stayed the night at a hotel. The next morning had breakfeast and then we were out th door. We stopped at one of the girls parents house for some coffee/tea and some goodies. Then we drove another hour and we were finally at the gym.
Now before we left for the trip I was told there was tons of reindeer up there so I was hoping to spot some while we were there. While we were driving one of the girls say look over there and there were about 5 or 6 reindeer in the woods. It was so awesome. Then a few minutes later there was one standing on the side of the road just chillin. The next ones we saw were standing in the middle of the road, apparently they cause alot of accidents. But I was sooooooooo happy to see some reindeer!! It also gets really cold up there, i think it was about -25c while we were there. There was also tons of snow up there, the drive up there was absolutely beautiful with snow on all the trees.
After the game the team and coaches stayed at this cabin. It was nice to all hang out together and have a good time! After our we had our breakfeast, we left about 9 and headed to the bus for the long ride home. Not before we played in the snow a little bit more! Here are some pics from the trip, sadly none of any reindeer, next time we go there im def telling the bus driver to pull over!
