See the 24 hour daylight for yourself

In Finland this weekend the locals will be celebrating the arrival of Mid Summer, for many is their favourite holiday. With Finlands extreme seasons you can understand why the years longest day is something to celebrate.  

After a winter with such short days, especially in Lapland where the sun disappears completely for a month, in December, you can appreciate why they mark Mid summer with such enthusiasm. That enthusiasm usually takes the form of heading out to lakeside or forest summer cottages with friends and family, swimming in lakes, taking saunas and of course eating and drinking.

In Lapland the continuous day lasts for almost two months with the sun never setting. Summer days can get on a good day up to 25°C or higher. There is nothing nicer than lying in your row boat on a Finnish lake, at midnight, enjoying the sunshine and a glass of wine!
