Need to change scenery

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.
-St. Augustine

I'm so fed up to live this regular, meaningless life and stay in these same circles in the same small cities in the so same and so small and so blunt Finland. I need to go away and see new places. I really really wish the August come soon...

Waiting for the next holidays...

Now I have bought our flights to Budapest and back as well as I bought a small cute hotel near from the city park. Can't wait, can't wait... Hotel seems to be good and nice but it was very cheap compared to flights which cost 40% more than the hotel for 8 nights with skandinavian breakfeast. But I'm glad I found this discount =)
'Cause of Szíget festivals are this year only 5 days we have 3 whole days just for city and shopping which means we can concentrate better to festivals while we don't have to hang around the city every day.
Hungary here we come!!!
And that will be on August. Then on September we are going to Rome but booking and searching for the best flights and hotel is still under way...

Tahko Downhill ski -week on April 2008

The first week of April and weather was amazing! Sunshine nearly everyday, not too much so the snow was still snow -not a water but enough to warm and get colour into my face. We rent a cottage with 2 beathroom, sauna and a big living room with fire place. It was clean, quite new and cute with all comforts (disk mashine, microowen, tv and cable cannels) so nearly perfect -exapt those thousands ants whom also live in one corner of kitchen. So we definately didn't keep our foods in that corner! Otherwise I like the cottage very much and actually I learn to live with ants quite quickly -only the first day was a little chaotic...
Tahko is nice freetime centre with several activities. I spend nearly whole week on hill with my snowboard and was sooo ecstatic! Didn't have time this winter (yeah, What Winter!?) to go snowboarding so I have to take all enjoy from this possibility. Of course we use the restaurants while we were on holiday, not doing homeworks (well, cooking is nice sometimes and yes, we did food our own twice durin that week) For all those tahko restaurants I can really really recommend Syvärin Kunkku which is atmospheric small medieval restaurant near slopes. food was great, service was kind, menu wasn't too long but very good and there was quite long and quality beer menu also (more than 40 different beers) well, I didn't drunk those but my beerlover-father praised those were excellent. You can't eighter forgot Pehkubaari which are on the top of the hill and where is good soap lunchs, happy after-skis and many spcialities like old time sauna, cabinet for companies or partys etc..
There is good spa and wellness centrum also but we utilize only the bowling-hall. Didn't play my best but made at least one full strike and didn't lose many points for my mom.
I had an excellent holiday 'cause of lot of fresh air, exercise, good food, lovinf company, enough sleep and a classik book (I read Little womens since a long time)
