Argh, this is giving me a headache.<\/p>\n
Reko and I wanted to go Saariselk\u00e4 again next January, but that log cabin that we rented (well technically, it was his mom who paid for it) was really a tad too expensive.\u00a0 I mean, EUR1000 for two nights?!\u00a0 That’s SGD2,000 for just two nights’ stay.\u00a0 >_>\u00a0 Sure, the cabin was very nice – with full tableware, dishwasher, coffee maker, washing machine, electric drying closet, a huge and nice fireplace, 3 bedrooms, etc etc… but we sure as well don’t need 3 bedrooms – a.k.a. 6 beds.\u00a0 Hence, this time round we are searching for some cabin that’s smaller and hopefully, cheaper.<\/p>\n
You see, we had to walk quite a distance to the central from the cabin that we had stayed in.\u00a0 And to our dismay, that cabin is already considered as being located in the “center of Saariselk\u00e4”.\u00a0 Searching within that particular location itself for the list of available cabins gave us some “okay” cabins, some of which their interior design doesn’t suit Reko (he’s quite particular about it – he wants a real LOG cabin, i.e. not wooden planks; he wants one with sauna; he doesn’t want random white painted walls in the cabin…), and some which looked nice but are probably way too expensive.<\/p>\n
And then there were some cabins that were located within 1~3km of the center of Saariselk\u00e4.\u00a0 The thing is, we are going there in January, and it is the coldest time in winter between January and February.\u00a0 So… walking 2km in the extreme cold and with the very high possibility of it being a windy winter as well… Well, let’s just say that the idea is not very enticing.\u00a0 (And Reko still doesn’t have his driving licence, so… yeah, no car.)<\/p>\n
Bleeeeehhh.\u00a0 Let’s hope we’ll manage to get some nice cabin at the end of the day!\u00a0 >_<<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
