When you are in Sauna you are supposed to pour water to the hot stones so there will be hot wet steam in the air :) I notices that you just sit there but not had any löyly which means the effect of pouring water and feeling warm water steam on your skin.
Such a lovely couple...I admire the way you both laugh together...may you love & adventures be mightier with each passing day...you guys are too cute. 😎
It's fun to see that vloggers who visit from Canada, can somehow identify Finland's nature and winter culture. I get totally different vibes from vloggers who visit from the US.
Finland 🇫🇮 is my doppelgänger! It reflects my heart ❤️ and is an unbelievable country! I’d be truly honored 🙇🏻♂️ to visit and roll in the tundra and look 👀 at the northern lights. -j
Eileen, you seem to have honest and spontaneous reactions like your laughters and your surprise when looking at the moose. Both of you made this video special. Thanks for sharing this with us. For few minutes, I forgot how horrible my day had been. All the best to both of you,
I just now watched these videos and I must say that as a Finn I really enjoyed watching this. You seem like a super nice couple, nice people and very respectful of our country and way of life. This video reminded me of that how good we Finns actually have it here. Hope you guys visit again soon.
Thanks very much for your lovely comment! I'm sure you can tell how much we loved Finland. We kept extending our trip :) Which part of Finland are you from?
The war in Lapland against Germany is also known as the "childrens crucade", since most of the casualties were really young, because we had already fought against russia and lost many from the earlier generation.
Hej Marc and Eileen ! Thank you for the video, it was a pleasure to spend time with you. Now, Rovaniemi is covered by snow, we already started winter activities, and polar nights are coming soon :) Enjoy your next destination ! Kittos :D
Thank you! It was lovely to meet you too :) We'd love to come back in wintertime and see the beautiful snow. We just fell in love with Lapland :) Enjoy the snow and winter activities!
I'm tapping in to your positive energy. For the viewers be aware that the northern lights are a thousand times more impressive when seen live no matter how great the picture or even a video might be. Imagine seeing a lion or a moose live if you have, and comparing it to nature documentaries on tv.
I loved this video! You guys looked like you had so much fun - even when plunging into the cold lake after a sauna! Who knew there was so much beauty and culture above the arctic circle?! Finland looks like a fabulous travel destination!
You guys did NOT leave the magic back in Poland :) I remember Josh and Ashley visiting that Arktikum place. So cool. The replica of the town in ruins was stirring. Likewise with the sun setting behind the cross at that Memorial. Gorgeous shots of the northern lights. I saw them once, back at my alma mater in Oswego NY. Kinda like watching a curtain of blue and red gently dancing over the lake (Ontario). It was faint, but so awesome. Delighted your wish came true Eileen. You two constantly crack me up. Another exceptional video.
You two on that boat are making us cry with laughter. Love all your music choices on this episode. Perfect. Oh my gosh crazy sauna experience. This show just whipped by so fast, way packed with fun. Thanks for this uplifting share guys. Sweet ending ;) Blessings, James and Kim
Hi guys! Thank you! This is one of our favourite videos! The canoe trip was hilarious as was using the sauna and getting into the cold lake 😂I especially love the music playing during the canoe part - glad you enjoyed it too! :)
I really enjoyed this video! I learned lotsa stuff…..Damn…..Stop that! Plus…..You guys are FUNNY! I laughed hard at the canoe where you said you would…."Photo shop the man out”......(@4:55).... …..Then you kinda did!…..A great laugh…..(I guess I gotta get out more)! Seriously though….A very informative …..And FUNNY…..Video! Many thanks to Eileen and Marc!
You should go to the western north Lapland! There the Tunturit are higher. Like Saana(one of the tunturit) I don't know can you go to the top in winter time. In the not snowy season you can go there by a stairways. When the summer is slowly changing to fall, the leaves are changing their color, it's so pretty! I would definitely put it to the ¨bucketlist¨! I like your vlogs, they make me happy. You do them so high quality. What you guys show, you show with alot of useful information! Keep on making them! See you guys!!
Hi! Sorry I missed replying to your lovely comment before! I'm so glad to hear our videos make you happy - that is the best thing and makes all the hard work worthwhile. ❤️ Thanks for the suggestions of other places to explore in Lapland too! Sounds so beautiful. I especially love seeing the changing fall colours and falling leaves. Finland is such a beautiful country and we feel lucky we got to explore so much of it and make videos. :) Hope you have a great week!
Great video from a beautiful location. Always a pleasure to watch you guys having so much fun. The sauna looked interesting, not sure I could last long in there either. Cool that you got to see the lights at the end, would have been a shame if it was cloudy.
Visit Cape Breton and spend some time hiking (and driving) and you'll see moose. Those snow goggles are similar to those of the Inuit. I wonder if they were invented in both places, separately of one another or if there was historically of migration of people between the Canadian and Scandinavian arctic?
Great video! You make me laugh. Actually, in sauna you are supposed to throw some water on the rocks. Then you get steam coming out... and it gets even better.
Glad you enjoyed, "Giggles"! Experiencing all life has to offer. I'd opt out on this trip. Holiday Inn is my idea of camping 🤷♀️😊 I have seen the Northern Lights in Michigan. The conditions were perfect for and it was a BEAUTIFUL, most Memorable sight! ❤
You are so fun to watch! Hopefully you had a gret time on your journey. Well, it looks like you did :-) PS. When you are in a sauna you are supposed to pour water on the heated stones - it totally changes the experience.
Congratulations, you just nomen omen finished your trip of the most beautiful yet most "undiscovered" parts of Europe - central Europe with it's pearl -Poland and Scandinavia - in your case Finnland.
good thing you enjoyed it. but your sauna was missing the most important part... throwing water on the "kiuas" xD but it seemed to work out fine anyways ^^
@@EileenAldis Yup, that's the idea: to lift your body temperature quickly high, you start to sweat more quickly and you feel all the heat and steam (löyly) on your body and then after few minutes you just rush into the cold lake (or snow in winter time). That feeling is something so fantastic and refreshing. And after that you will sleep so good next night!
There is a little more to the story than Finland caught between the USSR and Germany. The USSR invaded Finland in 1939 to begin the Winter War. Though they faces vastly superior numbers with more and better equipment, Finland fighting without allies made the USSR pay deeply.
but...the size of the USSR army with more equipment did cause Finland to sue for peace through Swedish diplomats. It was costly to Finland in money and territory. During WWII, when the USSR was battling Germany, Finland declared war on the USSR,, I assume to reclaim lost land. That did not go in Finland's favor and again they settled with the USSR including forcing the German military out of Finland
This was so amazing. I have a sauna in my house and literally was looking at this after coming out. Great pronunciation on Rovaniemi, but you need to work on sauna :-) You guys are making me homesick
haha thanks! I think because we say 'sauna' in English we just said it that way but I love how it sounds in Finnish! ;) Such a cool language! Very Finnish of you to have a sauna in your home btw. Too perfect to be in the sauna and then see this. Lots more Finland videos on the way!
haha it was our first time ever doing the 'traditional Finnish sauna' experience and WOW was it extreme hot to extreme cold. Definitely something to get used to! By the end we had adapted a little more and it felt exhilarating :)
You guys are adorable. :D But you didn’t actually go into a Finnish sauna, bc you didn’t throw any water on the stones! And therefore didn’t get any löyly! LoL! And people actually spend a loooong time in saunas when they are used to it.
Only finland, 5,5 milj people live there this home land. BUT finnish family and blod is 60 milj over in the world, because many pepole go run this world war, but we save this country. We live many countrys in the world, you know that ? Alaska, Texsas, Minnesota etc US, Germany,Sweden Dutch, British, Denmark,Australia, New Zeland etc. etc
@@EileenAldis You have the smiles: he wouldn't look odd in a beard (which he's clearly training) - and you have the smile and the apple cheeks we associate with Mrs. Santa: just blond braids, the hat, apron - all in Christmas colours AND most imoprtantly, what we adults can enjoy too: a tray of fresh baked Christmas goodies in your hands! If you visit Santa village in Rovaniemi, take a photo with a board where you have Santa and his Mrs., and the whles to put your face to them - please do that. I know, I know - you already visited Lapland, and have moved on already. But just go back for the photo - you just have to! :)
Interesting to notice the way the Finnish tell you the history of WW2. You say that Finland was caught between Germany and the Sovietunion. I also see in the comment that some say "...our fight against Germany...." Well, I would call that twisting or rewriting history. Reality was that the nazi Germany did not invade Finland - they was invited to come there. That is a certain difference ....right... Denmark and Norway was invaded and occupied .... but not Finland. The Finnish made an alliance with nazi Germany. Hitler himself came on visit to Finland and together with the Finnish leader Mannerheim they made an alliance 4.June 1942. The Finnish wasn't forced to do this, they did it in their self interest in hope to take back the territories lost to Sovietunion during the winterwar 1939. But in the autumn of 1944 when the Finnish saw that they were on the losing side in the war, they switched side - made agreement with Soviet - and demanded the Germans out of Finland. So it was the withdrawal - of the Germans troops north into Norway - and their burning down as much as possible that made the destruction in Finland - not much due to battles and full out war with them. Yeah there were some incidences. The Germans did the same in northern Norway - even more methodically - over a distance of nearly 1000 km. There were no military force that pressed them back (except in Kirkenes/Varanger - taken over by the Soviet troops). The Germans did it to lay down as much devastated territory between themself and the Soviet troops. The Finnish did for sure some U-turns during those years, but they certainly should not - in the world of today - rewrite the history.
After the Winter War and before the so called Continuation War - Finland was indeed in a hard place between SU and Nazi Germany. After the occupation of Norway there was no way Finland could stay neutral like Sweden - SU had made it clear that they would not tolerate an Swedish-Finnish defense alliance. SU remained hostile after the Winter War and made demands to their still then ally Germany for re-attacking Finland - which Germany denied. Germany of course leaked the information of those demands to Finland - which Finns could verify through their own sources. Finland indeed had to ally with Germany - if for no other reason then for the food supply - there was a real danger of starvation because the country had to import grain from somewhere - the war was going on in the Europe and SU was closed - Germany was more or less the only option. Hitler's visit to Mannerheim's birthday was an uninvited surprise - Mannerheim originally a general of the Imperial Russian Army did not really like the guy at all. There was no actual alliance between Finland and Germany either - they shared certain strategic goals - and co-ordinated their movements and supported each other to a degree.
Was is shait. But germans improve common health situations too when they burned those ancient and dirty houses… So, some good things happened too because of that.
After sauna it's so traditional to eat grilled sausage in Finland. Salad is good for some day time foods but sauna, sausage and beer is the best combo for evening relaxation.
As a finn I feel so bad that you are fed those 50 cent sausages and 5 cent cookies as "traditional foods" ...those are made by one of the biggest companies here.
Would you go in a hot Finnish sauna and then jump in a freezing cold lake?? YES OR NO?! 🔥❄️
I have been in a freezing pool then into a hot pool once before. Dont remember what it was called. I did not like.
Eileen Aldis I have swim in a frozen lake (2/3 was still frozen), but there were no sauna or even a camp fire. :)
So yes I would.
@@ginafriend1690 haha remembering you didn't like it is probably good enough in that case! ;)
@@XtreeM_FaiL ok WOW! You are not fooling around!! :)
Eileen Aldis My brand new fishing lure got stuck and I had to get it back.
When you are in Sauna you are supposed to pour water to the hot stones so there will be hot wet steam in the air :) I notices that you just sit there but not had any löyly which means the effect of pouring water and feeling warm water steam on your skin.
Your laugh makes me laugh! You are so much fun!
aww thanks, Bernadette! I love knowing you're laughing along with me! We had SO much fun this day :)
Saunas. Thats how generations of Finnish miners in Minnesota and Montana lived to be quite old.
Great healthy habit!

Omg! How beautiful!! I actually got goose bumps when you guys walked into the water! 😨 Another great video, guys! Thanks for sharing!!!
It was such a crazy feeling as the suit got tighter when we walked deeper into the water! Such a cool experience 😊

You didnt threw any water(löyly) to the stove? Sauna is not a nice place without a proper löyly, it moistens the air and its not just dry heat.

youre supposed to be wet when u go in the sauna
You guys are made of wax. You're supposed to throw water on the stove so it gets properly hot and steamy
Haha we did do that it’s just not in the video
Next time take a shower before sauna. Dry skin and especially hair feels wrong kind of unpleasant hot :)
Also, try throwing some water on the rocks in the stove.
I hope those Finns dont offer you two just sausages every day. How about some fish and salad next time.
Reindeer meat would be a good alternative also.
haha we actually just posted a new video trying lots more foods (including reindeer) :) It's here if you'd like to see: bit.ly/tryingfinnishfood :)
After sauna it's so traditional to eat grilled sausage in Finland. Salad is good for some day time foods but sauna, sausage and beer is the best combo for evening relaxation.
As a finn I feel so bad that you are fed those 50 cent sausages and 5 cent cookies as "traditional foods" ...those are made by one of the biggest companies here.
