Mum and I grabbed a couple of kick sleds. Like husky sleds with long ice skates instead of skis and went out on the ice for some fun.
We went pretty well sliding along the ice. Between the city and the heavily wooded islands it was magical.
Mum got pretty tired after about half hour so she sat on the seat of mine and held her sled infront of her. We got a good head of momentum up and were going at a fair pace. Then CRACK! We had some how manage to skate at the perfect angle to hit our right skate into a crack. The skate cut down a couple of inches down and tossed us both hurtling off the sled. Luckily we were both unhurt but having cracked the ice we were pretty worried we would be dunking into the terrifyingly nippy waters. Luckily again nothing happened. We had a giggle and went back to our own sleds.
After the sledding we taught the train up to Kiruna, inside the arctic circle.
