On the third day of Lapland I believe without a doubt been the best: The program provides for a day to go roam around the snowy tundra with "snow mobile" (snowmobiles) and make the famous and infamous "ice fishing", the fishing on a frozen lake.
Programme of the morning meeting with the leadership of Lapland Lapland at 11 am in front of our international alcove. As always, wake up at 10 am episode, eye begins to open to ten to 11 .......
What, will also be on opposite sides of the world, but already now it seemed that the group, what to do and want to sleep late, has been extremely well composed ... Breakfast
made up with Dominik and others intent on trying to make some strange concoction of meat and eggs (and then people ask me why they had big problems with digestion ...) and then off, off, ready for the big day!
After a short introductory phase in which our dear Sami of Lapland explained a bit how the contraption we had to ride all day and after having made the list of all rules and laws that we would not comply however, here that the party could really begin! As a good
Bologna in Bologna, Gio from the beginning has been the most critical: decided to jump on the seat of the snowmobile and "Socci, ragassi that's cool!" uttered in a loud voice to warm the hearts of those present. From
like me, I must admit that some doubt in my mind was all right ... But do not look for the idiot (I still always be careful to respect the name of my house in a foreign land), thanks in my capacity as a young actor, I managed to hide all my concerns enough.
3,2,1 ... go!! Gas engine is running and set free to unleash all the horses ... the engine suddenly became my concern is pure excitement. However, during the first few minutes, not yet familiar with the powerful way, it was like for me, the snowmobile had a nun as a pilot in his 70 ...
The fuse of my pride was still ignited by Oscar, who, after a few km took advantage of a moment of sleep that our caravan had to make near the intersection with a road, to propose to my passengers (we were 2 per snowmobile) to change the pilot .. . 'Do you want to like with a real man? ", this phrase has definitely eliminated me in every doubt and has meant that my right wrist, usually used for many other activities (...) becomes a rage Gas ...
Dominik, for his part, not to deface, used to slow down and let go on the group before being allowed to run with the skids and gas lever to resume his position ... Clearly this was fatal in more than one occasion, especially when not taken into account the presence of trees and decided to do a "off-track "...!!!!!
After a few miles, our dear Oscar disappeared from my mirrors .......
After a few minutes, however, this fact caused some concern in the crew: Checchina okay that might not have kept pace with the group .... but as we were still waiting now for a few minutes, some doubt was now began to gather in our (slow) minds ...
Thus our guide to Lapland Lapland, warned of the lack of our "real man", decided to move a jack-ass to go back and look ...
Meanwhile, in our group seemed that the germ idiocy had definitely taken hold: I and Dominik we improvised in an unlikely "brawl in the snow", which has helped not a little entry in my "smelly tight suit" a considerable quantity of snow which, once disbanded I created many problems ... ... Thu wet pant has decided to make the leap of quality ... ...: mounted upright on the saddle of his snowmobile, the cry of "One Italy!" our bolognese in Bologna decided to dive into what he believed to be a big pile of snow ... in fact the snow in the desired location from our sample was not more than a few inches high ...
This thing had the advantage, however, to find a way to Gio on how to fill the time, "he" in fact spent the remaining minutes of waiting writhing in the snow and cursing the unknown URL of "... Soccia !!!", that blow up from the horizon as our guide reappeared Lapland Lapland the e. .. large "real man".
Our experienced pilot, perhaps tired of the many curves in the expected path, he decided to miss a (...) thus implanting in a big pile of snow that seemed to be waiting for them ...
regained the lost sheep, we left to hit (quickly) to ... boh! And who the hell knew where we were going ... my fear is that we were heading in a secluded clearing where we were raped by dozens of polar bears fitted with "durex "....
Luckily I was wrong ....
In fact, after about two hours and after many "upsets" and "systems" that put a strain on my endurance (in some cases it was really hard not to have it on me with laughter ...), we arrived in a place that only would have been worth all the "beurs" be spent on them ...
it arrived on the summit of a hill which overlooks the tundra ...
The panorama before us was one of those that take your breath away ... an expanse of trees and pristine wilderness and covered by a perpetual blanket of snow ...
After we made our guide explain more about that place, we decided to head towards the hut where we proceeded to drink magnate and how agrees.
At the risk of being repetitive, even when we reached the hut the landscape that presented itself before my eyes was one of those that will take your breath away ...
The hut was located in the middle of the tundra, on the banks of a river completely frozen over (and when I say completely, I mean COMPLETELY ...). In front of the hut there was a parking lot for sleds with dogs, in which there were actually parked the sled with the dogs, which became our hobby for the time it took to our guide for cooking our rations: reindeer soup!
I'll tell you, the reindeer are so beautiful to see ... but even when they are flat in their appeal definitely keep it!
In the meantime, each of we found some activity is to pass the time: the girls pass the time by going to pet dogs in the "parking", Oscar, and Dominik Bamba had decided to lie down in the snow and make the dead ... I like who I know you know, I decided to give me my usual recreational activities: the breaking balls to the other ...
bomb was so that I began to snowball Oscar, Dom, Bambi and Gio, and they answer with a fierce manhunt "ingrumata" finale in the snow, which did nothing except increase the level of snow in our pants ...
Lunch was great ... the hunger was really great, so even if I was offered to eat things far worse for a soup (I avoid saying That term is not to be too mean ...) I would have appreciated anyway, but I have to say that the reindeer soup was the best meal that a man could desire at that time.
finished our meal with the usual photos, and coffee and biscuits "digestive" eaten on the terrace here is that our afternoon activity could finally begin.
For those who do not remember the afternoon at that point included the infamous "ice fishing", the dream of my life!
And so we walked over the frozen river where our Lapland Lapland had already proceeded to drill the holes where we had to drop our line. We spent so
the afternoon laughing, joking and waiting a few copies of "fish-stupid" contact with bacon that we used as bait ... How well I thought
pastime of eating bacon out of the box of bait (you know, the hungry, when it comes, comes!) Thereby triggering the hilarity and, oddly, took the piss by the rest of the gang .. .
That afternoon we found that-stupid fish in the river ... there were even two who were captured earlier by Sun and then by Gio who, with great modesty, continued to bulleggiarsi for their catch until late in the evening. ..
Back home, after eating and after enduring the "thunderclap from a young ass in obvious difficulty digestion for the duration of our stay Lapp (Legend has it that his ski suit has been burned by the holders on the day of our departure), we were interrupted by a young Lapp that come into our humble abode, shouted: "Outside there's the Northern Light !!!!" ("Out there is the Aurora Borealis !!!!").
This was the reason why at 11 pm on a cold night in March, nine idiot in flip-flops, shorts and a T-shirt, stood for about half an hour with upturned noses in the snow to see such a spectacle. ..
Describe the aurora borealis is impossible, so do not even try ... to kind readers advice only to download an image from the internet and figure out what show to see in a starry sky ...
done, excited and tired as ever, we decided to proceed with the usual poker tournament, play that allowed us to pull ahead again until 4 am, when we decided it was definitely the case with leave to fuck (bed) .
On the other hand we were only 3 days and, you know, the best is always yet to come ...
