Grüezi1, dear readers! You might have noticed that there weren’t any blog updates during the summer. Well, there were good reasons for that and one of them is that I’ve been outdoors quite a lot. I’m still very busy, but it’s just impossible not to write about all this beauty around. Today I invite you to Linthal, where I had my first bicycle ride in mountains since I moved to Switzerland.
1 – “Hello” in Swiss German
This is a random collection of pictures and notes, made by me during the first days in a new place :)
If someone would ask me what is my favorite place in Tenerife, I’d answer without much hesitation – Anaga mountains. They are surrounded by ocean, they are green and wild in many places, they have so fascinating shapes.
Finland will never be the same. In the night before the Christmas Eve I found myself queuing in Prisma (a huge hypermarket, the first one in the country to be open 24 hours). I thought that I will be the only night owl / foreigner / agnostic there, but actually the queue was quite long.
And on the Christmas Eve I cycled to the church and after that went back home through the center. I was hungry and here it was – a truck with burgers, standing near the Central Railway station. On Christmas Eve, at 0:15 I had a tasty vege burger and a friendly customer service. Something like this would be impossible to imagine even 5 years ago.
I’m content with this Christmas also because I went hiking 2 days out of 3. On Sunday it was night hiking with torches (and testing new route near Saunakallio!), but today it was during the sunlight and I decided to take the camera with me. I didn’t have any expectations as the days are mostly gray this time of the year, but the nature turned out to be at its best today.
I did it! Finally created Helsinki Outdoors group on Meetup.com. The first trip was to the Linlo island.
