Just When You Thought There Wasn't Going To Be One

Hello from Finland!

Been very busy and tired on our first couple of days so didn't get round to doing the blog but from now on (excluding the next three days when I  probably won't be able to) I will try to be consistent.

I will start at the beginning we flew out on the 30th and landed at about 10 o'clock their time (8 o'clock English time) and after a quick look round the house went for a walk in our  local park. We  discovered a DiscGolf Park which was free! DiscGolf is like golf but you throw Frisbees instead and you play it on rough terrain. Luckily the people we exchanged with had a couple of  Frisbees and so me and Dad had a go. When we came back we had a nice sauna and went to bed. I slept well, Mum and  Dad however woke up  at 2 am as their curtains couldn't close and their windows faced the sun!


Yesterday we went out and did what our exchangees described as a must do it was a beautiful lake with some rowing boats you could  use. For free! so naturally we had  a go and avoided capsizing so it was  better  than I expected. When we got back to dry land we asked the life guard if the was a walk we could do she said yes we asked how long it was she said short but we did it anyway. The walk was probably 400m long so we went home and me and Dad played DiscGolf again which was fun. Oh and I discovered how to sort out Mum and Dads sun problem.

Today we went to a national park and did a beautiful walk around the lake we got a bit lost but luckily we got back  on track and i took some nice photos we are going to be having a sauna to night before packing for St. Petersberg which we leave for early  tomorrow.

The pictures below are in a random order:

  1. What a lovely surprise! knew you wouldn't be able to resist it really. The photos are great and with all that beautiful scenery how could you possibly miss an opportunity to show off your photographic talent. You are all looking well but is the person in the hoodie trying to scare you or just feeling cold. We look forward to getting more of the same in a few days when you get the chance
    Keep having fun! Love to all from Grandma & Grandpa xxxx
