An action filled day🧗🏻
November 4 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
We explored the Sun City activities today, and even with rain trying to ruin our plans, we managed to do a lot!

First we headed into a maze, it was kinda hard to find our way out. From there we went into a nature path and then minigolfing. Rasmus won...

After that we got tickets to a rope/zip line adventure path! It was fun and pretty tiring. We got something to eat and then headed through another nature path back to our room.Read more

🌊⛱️Valley of Waves🛖🌊
November 5 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
This waterpark was really fun. 6 cool slides, sea wave pool, lazy river and cool places. In the first image is slide called "temple of courage". It is 17m almost straight drop and we almost didn't go to it because it was scary but after some time we decided to try it. Almost everywhere in South-Africa they won't take responsibility for anything even if something happens. It's even said on the slides to go with your own risk.Read more

Chill thunder day💧🧘🏻
November 6 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
We went to an escape room! It was pretty easy, excluding one door room where the staff had to open the door for us🤦🏻. We got out with 9min left.

After that we booked a small bus drive to try archery. Aino won but only by little. Rasmus got a bullseye!!!🎯

Then it started raining and it sounds like the storm is coming. We'll probably chill the rest of the day.Read more

We are now at the Hamad International Airport again. Still pretty and easy place to move around. Helsinki-Vantaa, you have something to learn.

Also! We somehow happened to get on the same flight with our guide dispite departing with him days ago? And even weirder was that his seat was next to us on the plain. So now we have our guide all the way back to Finland even if it wasn't supposed to go so.Read more

November 8 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
After too many hours of flying we are finally back in Helsinki. This whole trip was awesome and I definitely recommend everyone to go to South-Africa for a visit!
👍Hienoa, että nyt takaisin kotona. Teillä on ollut upea reissu😊On ollut mukava seurata matkaanne. Aivan kertakaikkisen upeita kohteita. Ja vähän näytti olevan safarilla jännitystäkin -ehkä. Upeita muistoja jäi varmasti matkasta😊 [Anna-Maria]

Top 10 survival moments
November 8 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
10 = Least survival moment, 1 = craziest moment.
On top of these crazy situations/places we had to take 6 vaccines, malaria meds and strong sun cream (I still got sun burned). Of course everything else we packed was also important.
BUT then we lost our packs when finnair mest up the flight transfer and got them after halfway the trip, so we had to manage with hand luggage and buy some stuff.
Buying stuff and being in populated areas is was also very dangerous here because we were in very poor villages and towns with high criminal rates. It was not recommended to be in such places when it got dark.Read more
