In restaurant Zetor, I met already three other group members. On March 13, we took the bus together to the airport (which is located in Vantaa, a big city north of Helsinki). In the airport we met two other people, including Jari who is the organiser of the ESA seminar in Rovaniemi.

Rovaniemi is the administrative capital of Finland's most northern province, Lapland. It is located 5 km south of the arctic circle. You can reach it from Helsinki by plane or by train. And it is the official home of Santa Claus!
In the evening we went to eat in
restaurant Nili, a typical Lappish restaurant. I have to admit that I ate poor Rudolph... I recommend you go there!

After the nice dinner, the bravest went outside to see the aurora from the river. It was the very first time that I saw it!

The first night in Rovaniemi we saw the northern light!
