The annual Finland tour

We returned last night from the annual trip around Finland. This year our holidays are scarce, as we have our businesses to run and we had to squeeze a lot into a single week.

Last Saturday, we drove to Kuopio to visit Sanna’s brothers. We checked the local shops on Saturday and visited Puijo tower on Sunday morning, before leaving to Polvijärvi.

The two days in Polvijärvi were spent in my parents’ log cabin by the lake. The excellent weather had toned down a bit and the wind was chilly — otherwise very nice weather. Next, we drove to Taivalkoski on Tuesday to meet Sanna’s parents. There we saw the first of three baby boys we met during the trip.

The last destination was Oulu. We drove there on Thursday, and saw the two other newborns. Aapo has now three friends in Oulu already, and more to come. We enjoyed the hospitality of Sanna’s friends, had excellent food and very good company. Felt like a holiday…

On Saturday afternoon we departed Oulu towards Espoo. After 650 kilometers, we were here, exhausted but happy. Today we have done the chores, and tomorrow we’ll prepare to our next trip to London on Tuesday.
