    First stop: Huutotöyry

    June 6, 2017 in Finland ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    The first stop of our Finnland trip was near Lahti in an old house at the countryside. Next to our house we had a quite huge river where we managed to catch some pikes which where instantly prepared in a smoker. A great and relaxing time.Read more

  • Second stop: Jyväskylä

    June 10, 2017 in Finland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    From the country side we headed into the town of Jyväskylä. We enjoyed some 'Nightlife' in a Jazz Club named poppari and met some locals. Finally we have a contact with a fishing boat now :)

    Jyväskylä also offers a nice beach for relaxing where the local youth gathers at night.

  • Third stop: Helsinki

    June 12, 2017 in Finland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Arrived in Helsinki with the Bus from Jyväskylä after over 4 hours. Checked in to our hotel and immediately moved on into the amazing city. It is awesome to take pictures at 11 pm without any tripod since there is always enough light!Read more

  • Fourth stop: One-day trip to Stockholm

    June 14, 2017 in Sweden ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    A great experience is taking the ship from Helsinki to Stockholm. The 'Ship' is actually quite big cruiser, has a night club, restaurants and shops on it. ( We took Silja Line ). It's also an opportunity for buying cheap alcohol or for meeting a date in the night club. Price is somewhere around 100 euro for a cabin with 4 beds.

    Stockholm was a wonderful experience. We walked everything from the ship after it arrived at around 9:30 am. Departure was at 4:30 on the afternoon. So there is enough time for a small trip.

    June 16, 2017 in Finland ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Back to Helsinki we visited the island seurasaa. Many old houses from all over Finnland where moved to this beautiful island of Helsinki in order to create a great heritage outdoor museum. No fee, beautiful nature, must see.Read more

  • Sixth stop: Beach and best Gelato

    June 17, 2017 in Finland ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Another must-do is walking along the beach promenade with a stop at 'HELSINGIN JÄÄTELÖTEHDAS'. What you see on the picture are 2!! Balls of icecream. The ice is most probably the best in Helsinki. Seriously... give it a try!Read more
