Reindeer Ride in Lapland
Flickr/MisoCraftyKnits


It didn’t come to my mind that eating the reindeer meat in Finland is to be a pointer on the “Bucket List”. I gave more thoughts about my Bucket list after returning from Lapland. Genuinely, my wish is to see the Aurora Borealis or what most people called the Northern lights. We went all the way up to Lapland, in hope to see it. It took 8 hours from Tallinn to get to Rovaniemi Lapland. We found online predictions that the chances are high since every 11 years is the cycle. In 2014 March would be the highest occurrence.

4 Toes & Large Special Hooves 

Each foot of the reindeers has four toes that spread out. This spread out feature distributes its own weight so it can float without sinking into the snow, muskeg, soft ice or wetlands. The large size of these hooves also helps them to paddle and swim in the rivers.





‘Clicking’ Knees

These large feet with footpads have extra traction and is sponge-like. In winter, the rim of the hoof is exposed and cuts into ice and crusted snow, a natural anti-slipped feature. The reindeer also use it to crater through the snow to find lichen (reindeer moss). As they move, their knees make a clicking sound.

200,000 Named Reindeers 

We didn’t see that the reindeer antlers being sprayed with glow in the dark paints. However, we did see a lot of reindeers. In Lapland region, there are 200,000 reindeers, and most of them have names. According to the reindeer herder, all Finnish citizens are allowed to own reindeer in particular the area of Lapland, the northern and eastern parts of Oulu province.

Ear Marks Following Its Mother

The calves are marked by a cutting mark in the ears around mid-summer, following its mother. Each newly born calf weighs around 5kg. In autumn, they sort out those to be slaughtered and those not. Those not are given anti-parasites medication and left free in the forest. They also castrate many of the male reindeer while others are taken into domestic use. The latest time to slaughtering is New Year. 70 percent or more of the annually slaughtered reindeers are calves, those younger than one year old.

Reindeer Meat Is Very Healthy 

These very tender and succulent reindeer meat are eaten and promoted to tourists. It is one of the leanest meats with omega-3 and essential fatty acids just like the fish. The average consumption by Finns is 0.5kg per person per year compared to other meat like pork, beef, chicken, sausage, wild game or horse. It has only 2% of fat content but twice as much B12 vitamin that is essential to prevent anaemia. Here is a reindeer recipe.

Lichen, Lichen, Lichen

The most common form of reindeer meat eaten in the family is poronkäristys and they like it in the form of reindeer ham slices used in wraps and for salads. Their special occasions call for whole reindeer meat. Reindeer meat is very delicious, all thanks to the diversity of herbs such as lichens in winter and green plants in summer which they have eaten in the opened forests. Lichen is rich in minerals and improves the animal’s digestion, resulting a high content in the reindeer meat of zinc, iron, selenium and B12 vitamin. It is probably why this exotic meat is very expensive.

Reindeer Sleigh Rides

The stronger reindeers undergo training like pulling the sledge. It takes approximately three years to train a reindeer. We experienced the wooden sleigh ride pulled by reindeer of about 10 minutes in a large route in the beautiful snowy forest. It was very spiritual lifting journey, experiencing the beauty of the Arctic wilderness in such a moderate speed. Sami people in Lapland are in particular aware of the environment and the wild animals protection. Every reindeer is owned and reindeer husbandry remains a major source of income for many in the Northern Lapland.

If you are in Beijing and want to make a short visit to Xian to see the famous Terracotta Warriors then you have a number of Xian tour options to choose from. Your choice of Xian tour depends on how much time you have. The price of these tours includes all transport, English speaking guides, entrance fees and some of the meals.

For a quick trip from Beijing to Xian


Beijing to Xian 1 Day Tour (BXA-01) by Air

Take a short break from Beijing and fly from the capital to Xian and back in one day; this is the absolutely quickest option for seeing the Terracotta Warriors if you are staying in Beijing. You will be picked up at your Beijing hotel, taken to the Beijing Airport and seen through security on your way to Xian on a 2 hour flight. You'll be met by the tour guide in the Xian airport arrivals hall and taken straight away to the Terracotta Warriors. The tour includes a delicious lunch (included in the price) and then a look at Xian's ancient city walls and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. At the end of the one day Xian tour you will be taken back to the Xian airport and seen safely off at the security point. On arrival in Beijing you will be met in the arrivals hall and taken back to your Beijing hotel. In all this tour from Beijing to Xian will take you about 14 hours.


Beijing to Xian 1 Day Tour (BXA-03) by Train

This is a slightly cheaper option which takes slightly longer; but will also get you to Xian and back, cover the same sites and includes the same professional service as the Beijing to Xian Tour by air. You are taken from your Beijing hotel to the Beijing train station at around 19:45 and settled into an overnight sleeper train. You can choose whether you prefer a soft sleeper for 4 people, soft sleeper for 2 people or a luxury train cabin. You will arrive in Xian on the next morning at around 07:10 and be met by your Xian tour guide who will take you for breakfast at a local 4 star hotel (included in price). Once you have eaten the tour proceeds to the Terracotta Warriors, Xian city walls and Big Wild Duck Pagoda. In the evening you are taken back to the Xian train station and put onto the return night train. On arrival in Beijing the following morning you are met by a guide and taken back to your Beijing hotel. In all this tour takes about 36 hours; for example from 8pm in the evening on Monday until you return to your Beijing hotel at 8am in the morning on Wednesday.

To go with the special someone.

You might be reading this because you want to plan a trip to the most romantic destination in Europe. Many people voted Paris, Venice, Nice, Budapest and Corfu to be the top 5 most romantic destinations. There are others who added Mykonos, Rhodes, Tuscany, Majorca, Cannes, Capri and Cotswolds to the list.

It is not really a subjective question. Being voted on the world’s top has its basis. We consider their most unforgettable ‘right spot’ with the special someone, the friendliness of their people, their climate and last but not least their buoyant and ecstatic places. Let’s take a deeper look at the possibilities.

Most Romantic in Budapest: The Citadel


Out of these voted the best destinations, we have personally been to Venice and Budapest. We used to live in Budapest and that makes us quite credible in speaking more about which destination makes a vacation romantic. People like to tell you that living in a place and spending your time on vacation at a place is different. We want to agree with this too.

We have met many people, couples or singles or with families, touring Budapest while some lives in Budapest. It sometimes is a surprise to have Budapest on this list. Now that we live in the magical Tallinn, we feel more and more about the beauty that Budapest could offer. Not about absence makes the heart fonder, but rather real experience matters.

In Budapest, the romantic attractions include the spot on the Citadel (a kind of fortress). At night, it is really romantic to take the car and your loved one, up the winding roads to the top of the Citadel and overlook the City. Although there are still those left-over Soviet munitions. Do not let it deceive you: the cannon-ball-pocked of the 19th century fort and the Liberation Monument as they should not affect your mood for love.


Fishermen's Bastion @ Buda Castle


Next is the fortified and cobblestone Castle District, visit the National Gallery if you have the time and mood for some museum paintings. One place that sets a fairytale setting is the Fisherman’s Bastion. There is the lookout terrace, the publicly opened Matthias Church where royal couples took their vows formerly. The Danube and Chain Bridge, Parliament and State Opera House, City Park, all offers a great romantic good time. Simply strolling. Take your time and savor a Hungarian Wine or Champagne, and if you still have another half a day, check out the Great Synagogue.

We have written about the romantic ambience of Venice, from the Grand Canal to the Rialto Bridge. Venice itself provides the romantic experience, from the moment we decided to travel there together as a couple on an overnight train to being back recollecting our memories on our digital albums. The ambience of Venice is beyond words.

Venice

How beautiful and romantic is Venice exactly?

It is better described through our most famous seducer, Giacomo Casanova. His personal story is brought to mind when we talk about Venice. The story about him at San Giorgio Maggiore (the tiny island opposite St. Mark’s Square), the Doge’s Palace, his plotted escape, Doge’s grand Square Atrium and the Golden Staircase.


Panorama of the Doge's Palace at Dawn, Venice, Italy


The ‘Ponte dei Sospiri’ or Bridge of Sighs is a world renowned bridge. Many want to see the most intolerable and brutal prison cells - the completely escaped-proof cell proven wrong by Giacomo Casanova. And if possible, you want to experience together with your love a ride on the Gondola on the Grand Canal.

Tuscany
Tuscany dream

In Tuscany, there are great promising views from the balconies. Its history of the castles offers great rural tourism opportunities. Climb the towers that leads you to some breathtaking views of the countryside.


Tuscany hills


Sunbath and relax at the pool, wait for the sunset along the beach, check out the old jail or port tower from the Capraia Isle’s lighthouse. The great geothermal activity underneath offers you an enjoyable time in the natural hot springs.  It is worthy to try the natural hot water pools and waterfalls.


chianti valley


Wander through San Filippo, Saturnia, Petriolo and Bagno Vignoni. Wandering. Yes, wandering throughout the Chianti hills and vineyards. Picnic under an oak tree, where all around are fields, fields and fields. Pisa, Siena, Firenze are charming and beautiful, do also check out the old charming medieval village exploring the narrow streets and small churches.

Capri

Capri
With many limestone cliffs and waterfront villas all around is Capri in Italy in the Tyrrhenian Sea. La dolce vita, the good life in Italian, simply starts at the Fontelina beach club. Checked out the boutique-lined streets of Capri town, and Anacapri’s quieter village which offers more privacy where you can stroll through the 19th century gardens. 


Italy, Capri - Statue of Aphrodite in Giardini Augusto (Gardens of Augustus)


Water excursions is one of the best ways to explore Capri, one of the top natural beauty is the arch of I Faraglioni. Via Krupp, Isle of Capri and Ana Capri, gardens of Augustus, Belvedere Cannone, natural arch monuments, Green Grotta, Villa Jovis, Villa St Michele, Marina Piccola, Piazza Umberto I, White Grotta, La Certosa di San Giacomo.

Planning a trip to Budapest

This is the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, well-known and famously known for its beautiful turquoise coloured lakes and invigorating waterfalls.

Plitvice Lakes, National Park, UNESCO, Croatia

To see a beautiful national park that consists of a series of 16 beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls, one has to take the first step. The steps after you drove there by car, are rather steep. The first overhead bridge is totally made of wood.


And that sets the beginning of preparing you to lots of walking on wooden footpaths and wooden bridges.



One very important thing that you must do is to 'go to the toilet' before you start.

It is a national park that is protected and preserved. So naturally you cannot find toilets as and when you want to. Beside these restrooms, there are stops with restaurants that sells sandwiches, soft drinks, coffee and mineral water. Ice-cream stands are very popular in the warm summer. There was even sausages and roasted chicken with french fries. But remember the next toilet you will see is only in 2 or even 2.5 hours walking distance.



Since it is an organized World Heritage site, they are almost ready for a lot of tourists and visitors internationally. You are first greeted with signages about the regulations when you enter the park. 



You are clearly told right in advanced that NO Fishing, No swimming, and No campfires are allowed.



However, what about this? Time ago, there were row boats on some lakes for visitors to enjoy a rowing activity. Now the row boats are removed. So this signage means you should tell your child not to stand on the row boats.



No playing like this by standing on the rowing boats.



Route C takes about six hours. It is a route with walking (about five hours of walking), boat ride and finally a tram ride. The boat ride was very pleasant even though 100 people was the maximum to go altogether from one stop to the next boat station.



In a few minutes from the signages after you have chosen a path to take, you will be warmly welcomed by an OVERVIEW. Here you must take quite a number of photos, as it is a first stop. Our advice is to take a couple of photos because there are lots of photo opportunities awaiting you later on as it just gets better and better!



You definitely want to make sure you bring enough batteries for your camera with you. From this point on, I took non-stop so many photos, so you can imagine how photogenic and beautiful this place is. To me, it's a paradise!!



That's our Bison Havanese Momo. There are many dog owners walking their dogs there. Crossing the wooden bridges or natural foot paths such as these ones can be a nice adventure and good exercise for your pets too.



The middle is a line of people crossing the wooden footbridges. You can see these lower lakes and karst landscapes. I love the deposition of travertine barriers that has created such natural dams and amazed by these geological processes that continues even today.



Most of the walking paths are nicely shaded. Going down to the lower lakes and getting nearer to see how the deposition of calcium carbonate precipitated in water.



Rather amazing through the agency of moss, algae and aquatic bacteria! That's how you get these strange yet characteristic shapes with travertine-roofed and vaulted caves as well.



Dating from the Upper Trias, Juras and Cretaceous Ages, imagine 4000 metres thick carbonates!!



So over the six hours of walking in the national park, we saw altogether 16 interlinked lakes between two mountains: Mala Kapela and Pljesevica mountain. I enjoy the entire time seeing these beautiful colours and getting so close to nature.



''The lake system is divided into the upper and lower lakes: the upper lakes lie in a dolomite valley and are surrounded by thick forests and interlinked by numerous waterfalls; the lower lakes, smaller and shallower, lie on the limestone bedrock and are surrounded only by sparse underbrush. The upper lakes are separated by dolomite barriers, which grow with the formation of travertine, forming thus travertine barriers. Travertine is mostly formed on the spots where water falls from an elevation, by the incrustation of algae and moss with calcium carbonate. The lower lakes were formed by crumbling and caving-in of the vaults above subterranean cavities through which water of the upper lakes disappeared.''-UNESCO



I will write more about the forests in the next posts.



A really beautiful area that used to be the cradle of the prehistoric Illyrian tribe of Japuds (dating from 1000 BC).

That's INVIGORATING!

Venice is one of the most romantic destinations we have ever been. It is very beautiful and offers many attractions from churches to palaces. Located on the northeast coast of Italy, it is protected by the Lido from the Adriatic Sea. The winding canals and small-traffic free streets are great for walking. We enjoy the squares and many unique shopping shops for carnival masks which make great souvenirs.

1. How Overnight Train can be Romantic?
In fact we went to Venice by the overnight train!  This is a special night train by MAV-Start that departs at 5pm from Keleti Palyaudvar (Eastern Railway Station) in Budapest. We arrived at 7am in Venice the next morning. The ride itself is a romantic experience.

Venice, Italy

2. Budgeting a Venice Trip
To be honest, this way of traveling is very romantic because we did this as a couple.  We paid 79 Euro each. The returning train is from 9:20pm, so we can actually spend the entire day in Venice.  However, we chose to spend one night in Venice. Booking a hotel (or hostel whatever style of) accommodation you like that suits your budget. The atmosphere in Venice is very charming.



There are still imperfections of the night train, but compared to flying, it is surely more fun. If we will be traveling from Croatia or Greece, we could have tried getting to Venice by ferries.

Venice, Italy

3. Comparing the Ways to Get to Venice
To fly from Budapest to Venice, it would take 6 hours 19 mins and cost 159 Eur per way. In comparison, it will cost 190Eur to take the train to Vienna and then fly to Venice. This will take slightly longer, about 8 hours. Flying directly from Budapest to Venice Treviso will be only 5 hours and cost 69 Euro! But that leads you to Venezia Mestre. By the train from Deli Budapest, you arrive at Venezia Santa Lucia. It will take about 11 hours but cost 153 Eur. Surprisingly by bus is only 10.5 hours, and so much cheaper 61 Eur. By car would have taken 7 hours to drive there, covering a distance of about 706 km, the petrol will cost about 120 Eur.


4. Attractions in Venice
Highlights includes the Saint Mark’s Square, Doge’s Palace, Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge, Galleria del’ Accademia, Murano (to see Glassmaking related) or Burano islands. We like all of them! We have only one day, so we didn't really go to the Murano and Burano islands. The Piazza San Marco is really a great main square of Venice. It is entirely surrounded by fancy shops and chic sidewalk cafes. We love the scenary so we took lots of photos as we were there in March, we walk about quite a lot. So we did not really sit at an outdoor table enjoying some live music, watching people which would have been equally nice.

You may consider to have a tour inside The Doge’s Palace or Palazzo Ducale on the St. Mark’s Square. This is where you get to see the political and judicial hub of the Venetian government until its fall in 1797. Of course, the not to be missed “Bridge of Sighs”.

The third highlight is the Rialto Bridge or Ponte di Rialto which is the main bridge crossing the Grand Canal. Right in the heart of Venice, this bridge is more than 400 years old!  There is a nice restaurant and a must try is the Squid Ink Pasta. A walk after meal at the nearby Rialto Market and lively food market as well as the little shops.

We would have ridden on the Gondola crossing the Grand Canal (Canal Grande) of Venice if it had not been so expensive. What we really enjoyed was we did take a lot of photos of the many boats and beautiful buildings while on the Vaporetto.

Venice at night

The beautiful church consecrated in 832 AD, Saint Mark’s Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) is a good fusion of the East and West. For art museums, we would recommend the 24 rooms Galleria del’ Accademia. It is in three historic buildings but the best if you arrive there early to avoid crowds.

5. Must try in Venice: Black Squid Ink Pasta
Most of the Italian meals in Venice are expensive. We have personally tried the Trattoria Antica Sacrestia at Calle della Corona – Castello 4463, 30122 Venice Italy. The atmosphere is great and the food is fantastic.

However, it is almost a must to try the seafood. One item quite commonly found on most menus is the Black Squid Ink pasta. As if I’ve time travelled back to kindergarten, we indulged in glossy black squid ink sauce spaghetti that smells and tastes fishy but delicious. 

Will your mouth and teeth be stained black? Yes!

6. Carnival Festival
When we got there, it was end of March, so the Carnevale Festival or the Carnival in Venice which is 10-day street party starting in February to first week of March had ended. What we can see all around for shopping is definitely the Carnival masks of all types: Bauta, columbina, medico della peste, moretta, volto, pantalone, arlecchino or zanni. I’ve bought a stick white half mask with white feathers. It would be such an eye-opener and I would love to see the entire stunning procession of decorated gondolas on the Grand Canal.

Kiama. The Lighthouse 

Kiama is a township 120 kilometres south of Sydney in the Illawarra, New South Wales, Australia in the Municipality of Kiama. At the 2006 census, Kiama had a population of 12,286 people.  Kiama is named after the world’s famous blowhole which is the town’s major attraction. The blowhole creates a loud sound and this is where the word Kiama was derived which in the local native language refers to a place where the Sea makes a noise.

The town was originally built in the late 19th century and was used to house quarry workers. Today, the town has been built with a mixture of history, heritage and the modern world, thus, the spectacular terrace built on a tree-shaded setting. The seaside town features several popular surfing beaches, caravan parks and numerous alfresco cafes and restaurants. Its proximity to the south of Sydney makes it an attractive destination for a large number of day trippers. (source: Kiama accommodation)

You don’t believe there’s really a Santa Claus? Here’s where you would




There is not just Santa Claus, in Rovaniemi Finland. There is even a Santa’s village, Santa’s Post Office, Santa’s office, Santapark. 


It is more than just a fairytale experience for your visit, you get to meet the 16th generation Santa Claus who speaks perfect English. And he makes you feel like a kid all over again!


The good thing is it is Free entry. And the bad thing is there is a bit more commercialization than you can imagine because of the many souvenir shops all around the village. You are also prohibited to use your own cameras to take photographs with Santa. A professional photographer who greets you in the dressing of an elf, and he takes for you and you’re encourage to buy, let’s say 2 photos for 25 Euro, or 49 Euro for a USB that includes the data of the two photos, the movie from the moment you’ve entered the room, with the chatting with Santa, and exiting. I really think their pricing strategy was really clever. Most people will not buy just two hard prints out. And comparing 25 to 49 Euro, most people will spend 49 considering you get the original digital files of the movie and it makes you work at the back of your mind that you can print out whichever moments you want. Movies is always more convincing than a still image. Afterall, you are here with Santa and all the way to the Arctic Circle! Not cheap, but everyone wants to have a good memory.

Santa’s Village, Santapark

You can try a 5-8 minutes reindeer sleigh ride in the park, a classic memory is the view of the ‘butt’ of the reindeer! And you can arrange or organize almost every activity from the single Santa Village, from cafes, to reindeer ride, snowmobile tours, huskies dog tours etc. This is a place where a 2-3 hours would be enough, or even up to half a day.

Santa’s Village, Santapark

While my husband and Singaporean friends were enjoying their huskies rides, we met two cute Japanese girls signing up to send a postcard from Santa. It can be to any address all over the world. This would cost 7 Euro but it might be all worth while if that has been a dream you had been having to receive a post card from Santa Claus. At the Santa’s post office, it's fulfilling this dream. This is a magical place that makes me feel like a big kid once again! Imagine children can just write to Santa simply “To Santa Finland” and the Finnish Post knows exactly where to deliver it to.
