    A snow-filled December

    28 June 2014

    Names of travelers: Stian and Elmarie Mouton
    Destination: Swedish Lapland
    Dates: 10-20 December 2012

    Your reason for visiting this destination: We won a competition on 5FM!

    Our Little Black Book

    The best hotel:  The Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden.

    The best place for a drink: The Absolut Vodka Ice bar.

    The first thing travelers should do upon reaching this destination: In winter – put on every piece of clothes you own.
    In summer – prepare not to sleep. This is the land of the midnight sun!

    If you want to feel like a local you should…  Learn to say hello (Hey-hey) and thank you (Tak) in Swedish. They love South Africans – especially ones that speak Afrikaans as it is so similar to Swedish.

    Watch out for… Reindeer and elk – they look placid but can get spooked easily and then they charge!

    Insider tips Always learn a few phrases in the language spoken at your destination. It shows that you respect the locals and that you’re not an ignorant traveler!
