Welcome to Lapland! Bem vindo à Lapónia!

in Foreca

We are now in Keminmaan. You can see Keminmaan location in the previous post.

Keminmaan is located in Lapland. In the next posts I'm going to show you the other visited places in Lapland.

Departure: JyväskyläDestination: Keminmaan

In the old times Keminmaan was more important than Kemi because of its water proximity. When the sea went down Kemi was founded and became the main place.

Kemi has the world's largest snow castle. You also can have a good time spending a night at the Mammut Snow Hotel where the temperature in the hotel rooms is a crisp -5 degrees, but you nevertheless sleep warm in a Ajungilak sleeping bag:)

Good Morning!

Spy Museum in Tampere

Spy Museum's exhibition gives a good cross-section about world wide espionage.

The collection includes items from western and eastern organizations.

From KGB we have spy cameras, a PSM-pistol which can pierce a bulletproof vest, an agent cape, a series of classified maps and a portable microfilm device from the 1980's.

Good Morning!
