We returned from our "week in a forest" holliday at sunday. The cottage was bigger than I thought and there was little electricity for two lamps because of the little solar panel on the wall outside. But the refridgerator and the stove were functioning with gas. On the little lake there were nice little sauna with a quite big room with a fireplace. So we warmed the sauna (with wood) every evening and swimmed in a lake were the water was quite warm. There was also a rowing boat to use and boys were rowing and fishing on a lake every day. I was thrilled because there were so much blueberries so I spend some time picking them and at home we have now been eating plenty of blueberrypie. Living in there was very simple, like in the old days. We had to carry all the water from the lake and the water for cooking and drinking was brought from the owner of that cottage. He lived in a house nearby (1 km). It was a nice and peacefull week and it was good that the groceriestrore was only 5 km away (at home we are used to 500 metres...). Home sweet home after all travelling in different kind of places on our vacation.

It has been quite a nice summerweather this week here in Helsinki. After Bulgaria it stil feels quite cold ( never should visit warmer countries at summertime...) but actually sun has been shining and it has been over 20 degrees...Because of the raining a lot its very green and beautiful. Speaking of beautiful I had to go and see the flowerlabyrinth at the railwaystation- see this site: http://www.mtv3.fi/uutiset/kulttuuri.shtml/arkistot/kulttuuri/2009/07/914236
At friday everyone who wants can go and pick one for oneself starting at eight o'clock. In my culture week I also visited at ateneum to see the exhibition of Kalevala that was nicely build exhibition and beautiful paintings.I liked more older paintings but there were also some new and modern works some of them were too violent for me.
Next week we will spend in a little cottage in Kisko, about 100km from Helsinki. I hope the weather will stil be good because the cottage is really small. Maybe we will swim a lot and I hope we will find some berries in the forest. Well a week without internet can be difficult...just if it doesn't rain I quess we will find out something else to do.

At last our internet connection at home works!!! Last week we were in Bulgaria to see a little bit of sun and to be in warm climat what it seems not to be found here in Helsinki at this summer. Well there is some sunny days but not very warm...
Sunny beach, were we took our flight seems to be very much for turists who wants to lie on the beach or party all night long. We also did some swimming and rented few chairs on the beach and spend some time on a swimmingpool of our hotel, but we also walked quite much and visited few nice cities that were near, Nessebar, Sozopol, Burgas and we took a boat on a Ropotamo-river. Food was very good everywhere and people were very friendly. At the city of Burgas we saw what would happen if we haven't got here in finland so fine systems to take care of our buildings together. And the watersystems here at home are really good also!! So nice to be at home!
