Saaremaa and other places

Since last time I wrote we have been in the sailing festival in Loviisa, not sailing though but meeting friends and partying.


We 've also had a lovely weekend in Jakobstad with Martin and Catariina. Sleeping over in Martin's family's sailing boat.

El capitán and the boat :-)

I've had my last working day at Arcada and recieved some roses.


I hardly had the time to realize that I acctually wasn't going back there for work nor school anymore and we found ourself in Estonia, in Saaremaa, for a mini-holiday before my first day at work in Nokia. Saaremaa was lovely and super cheap, the only annoying thing was that the people always tried to cheat you with money since you were a tourist. Not that it mattered much if lost 20 kroons when buying something when we didn't get all our change back(20 kroons is about 1€) but in the end it got annoying when it happened everywhere, in the bar, in the hotel, in the restaurant. However, it was cheap and we even let ourself some luxury of spa-treatments:-)

The Saaremaa castle.

The lovely winery we found. Vinotec.

The idyllic park.

Our hotel.

But there's a back side of everywhere you go...

The back side of our hotel:

I'm not complaining though, on the inside our hotel was flawless except for a very hot room and a sauna that was burning your ass (sooo very too hot, and an electric one, so it was even impossible for me as an Finn to sit in there). However, it was quite interesting how there was houses on the same streets looking super nice and on the other side shacks falling apart.

Wanna swim?
