Activities: We went to the Sami Parliament launch of the Sami parliamentary season. We waited for the arrival of the royal family, took photos of the Sami representatives' outfits, and discussed the problems between reindeer herders and Swedish industries. We even chatted with the royal guard!
Highlights: The kids were fascinated by the colorful Sami outfits. It was a unique opportunity to witness a cultural event and learn about the Sami people. 'We were so happy to see the Princess' said Lucie ✨
