Winterday in Lahti

by Eleonoora

This morning I woke up early and I went for a long walk.
It was cold, about -20 degrees, the trees- also in the town are a lot of them - were frosted and the sun was shining. Everything was glimmering like diamonds. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

So never miss to go for a walk on a very cold sunny day. But don't forget warm clothes.

In Finland, they have different delicacies for certain days. After play sled in the snow, we have sweet buns. Its only prepared for the sledding day. Normally for kids.But my host has no small kids..so i'm honoured to be one!

Activities

by morninglory

"Frisbee Golf"

Fun game. Similar like golf just without club and golf ball. Depends on where you throw the frisbee..for an amateur like me always ended up hit a tree instead of close to the "hole" or actually a cage.

"Sightseeing in Vääksu"

There's a canal built in 1871 that connecting two lakes together. Built by 400 men and 200 horses. This canal has a gate that allows boats pass by from one lake to another in a confined space. Unfortunately i didn't remember the name of the lakes.The boat has to wait in between the gates so the water will level up before the gate open and allow the boat to move.
