Kat still in Turku

The second half of the week also brought with it very beautiful weather. There hadn't been any rain before either, but now also the fog and clouds had dissapeared. During the day Victor still had to work, but Petra had lots of time to entertain me and go out on a very busy day. :P Thursday morning started by sleeping in long, taking the bus from Vs place to the city centre and meeting up with P to go to Ruissalo. This is one islands of the archipelago where you can go for nature walks and this is just what we did. As it was december, we had counted the time to arrive after a 6 km walk just on time near the sea to see the sunset over the water and the surrounding islands. Very beautiful. ^^
Back in the city we went to see "Joulutarina", a finnish Christmas film and then headed for a swim at Carribia. To end the day Petra and I went to have dinner at a nice restaurant and then we had planned to go out to Onnela, but by 12 we were both half asleep after quite a tiring day...

Friday was then spent by meeting up with some more people again, buying the last cards and Christmas presents and saying goodbye to the city centre. I had some very finnish thick porridge at the university restaurant and at night pancakes followed and more cookies at Heidis place, so it wasn't exactly a healthy day...

Then, around 1:30 in the night, Victor and I decided it was about time to go and pack our stuff as we were leaving Turku the upcoming morning. This resulted in a night of sleep of aproximately one and a half hour, as we had to get up already at 4. Not much later we were out on the frozen streets, in the dark on our way to the first bus going to the airport...
