Finnland

Last Weekend, our friends from England (actually Finnland/Uganda/Germany living in England) had a celebration in Finnland, so we visited them for a weekend, and not only them, but also Finnland itself. Cecilia (the youngest of the three sisters) had her confirmation, and the whole extended family came to celebrate. There was finnish culture, food and lot's of funny sounding words. But see yourself:

To start off, a picture of picturesque finnland.

Max and Theresa.

There's a Muumin in Resis Bag (The Muumins are a really popular Cartoonseries from Finnland)

A few impressions from Helsinki and Turku.






That is the famous olympic Skijumpramp in Lahti (about 120 k's from Helsinki, a tiny little hamlet, but once co-hosted the olympic games…)



The lake in front of our Hotel, the hotel of course had several saunas, but due to the 30 degrees outside, we enjoyed the lake without the sauna…

And more picturesque Finnland at the end of this post!
