Seurasaari

My weekend was really like holiday in Finland :-) I was outside in the nature nearly all the time. On Saturday, 12.09. I cycled to Seurasaari together with my neighbours Jan and Manu from the flat above mine. We live in the capital but it took less than half an hour to reach this beautiful, bicycle-free island.

We left our bikes at the mainland and entered the island via a wooden pedestriants' bridge. Walking around the island, we met many confiding squirrels. They were so cute!! I wanted to feed them with blueberries and they came interestedly to my hand, but finally they didn't want to eat them. Therefore they climbed upwards on our legs!

An outdoor museum of old Finnish wooden houses is also located on this island. There were even people wearing traditional clothes.

We rested on seaside bluffs, partly with a view on idyllic watersides and partly on factories at the other side. So we were aware that we were still in an urban region. We experienced the untouched nature on Sunday!
