Road trip part 1

Last weekend Aniek and I rented a car to do a little roadtrip. We wanted to go to a national park cause we never been to one before and Finland has so much beautiful national parks that we had to go to a least one in the time that we are here.

So we got on the road and we drove to Nuuksio National park close to Espoo. It was a 2 hour drive to get there and we had beautiful views. The weathers this weekend was also really beautiful, the sun was shining, blue skies and it was a little bit cold but not too cold, just perfect.

We chose to do a route that was about, we thought, about 8 kilometers, but on the way we changed our route cause we didn't have a good feeling about it. Cause it seemed like a one way route to an other city. Good for us we changed our route cause we looked it up and the route we were walking was a 20 kilometers one way route. So we changed and we direction and did a route that was about 7-8 kilometers. The route was a bit though with some high climbs but it was really worth it.



We came across beautiful lakes and because it has been freezing for a while, the whole lake was frozen. It gives a beautifull view with the bleu sky, the sun shining and the frozen lake. Also in the forest it was really beautifull and there were a lot of fire places where you can barbecue. Or just sit around the fire. That is the nice thing about Finland. They have a thing called 'everyman's right' it means that everyone has the rights to use those fireplaces, but also to walk and bike in the woods, pick berries and mushrooms in the woods and to camp in the outdoor.

If you are thinking about going to Finland, or if you go. The national parks are worth a visit.

The first day of our roadtrip was really fun, we did a lot of karaoke in the car, our voices sounded like crap in the evening, but we had fun.
