In this chapter 3, we travelled from Lofoten Island to Stockholm , so called Stockholm is our pit stop on the way to Rovaniemi, Finland. Initially we planned to move from Lofoten to Rovaniemi via northern route ie Svolvaer-Narvik-Abisko-Kiruna-Lulea-Kemi-Rovaniemi by train and bus. Somehow this route is very tedious that we cannot afford to miss any train or bus that will affect the whole schedule. Moreover places like Abisko and Kiruna are winter wonderful freezing cold. So , we took the alternative route ie flying from Lofoten to Stockholm, spent a night in Stockholm and took next day cruise ferry to Helsinki and from Helsinki to Rovaniemi. The reason why we stayed a night in Stockholm was because to give buffer time if our flight from Lofoten is delayed thus will miss the cruise ferry. Besides we want to feel the vibes in Stockholm too, country of IKEA.
..............and best of all we encountered our 1st Aurora Northern Lights !

We hope our video gives you some idea and guidance and make your trip more adjustable to your needs. Thank you for watching.
