Last week(s) happenings (Turku etc.)

Hello everyone (as usual)! :)   In this post I'm going to write something about last weeks and what has happened during them. 

 At 4th July (Friday)  I was in bigger city with my friends because we wanted to play disc golf somewhere else than in our hometown. But in the same evening I got high temperature that lasted to next week's Thursday and furthermore I got horrible headache on Saturday, 5th July. On next week's Wednesday I went to local health center to find out which disease I have. They did some tests but weren't sure what it was so they sent me to hospital which is located in bigger city where I was last week's Friday. That trip lasted around 7 hours and in the hospital they find out that I have epidemic nephropathy that doesn't have any remedy. Luckily I had neither headache nor high temperature on Friday when I went to Turku with my family. We were there from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. There's some (most of my photos) from Turku below :)

First evening we went to museum where was constitutions of old houses of Turku on the cellar. It was very interesting place!  :)

Some house nearby Turku's market square.

Dad's dessert on first day evening's restaurant.

River Aura next (Saturday) morning.

Same river to another direction.

We visited in place, where they had saved old houses from Turku 1827 conflagration. Nowadays it's such a great outdoor museum where they show how people lived in last decades.

By river Aura again, going to eat soon..

FOOD~ (I was starving already then)

Leaving the outdoor restaurant.

Turku's cathedral, where was someone's wedding going on when we walked there.

Old and newer buildings nearby University of Turku's campus area.

Then I went to hotel with my dad because both of us were I bit tired so we sleeped for a moment.

Then we went by river Aura again to a cafe where I ate this wonderful lingonberry bundt cake. It tased delicious!

Saturday evening we went to hotel's restaurant because all of us were too tired to look for another restaurant. 

I ate spicy pasta and this is my dessert. It was a pie filled with berries :)

Sun was setting so I took this photo from hotel room's window.

Last morning we went to Turku's castle. It was very interesting place also!

Then we drove back home even though the temperature was about 30 degrees and our car was first like a sauna :P

And then back home. On Wednesday I visited in local health center again for past-disease-check and got results yesterday. I didn't have disease anymore and today I was visiting in bigger city again because I need to visit in bank etc.

Viiko 41: Viimeinen viikko ennen lomaa / Week 41: Last week before holiday

Tämä viikko on mennyt todella nopeasti, sillä koko ensi viikko on syyslomaa ja odottanut sitä jo kauan, koska olen sunnuntaista torstaihin Barcelonassa turistina. (:  Menen jo lauantaina Helsinkiin, koska olen perheeni kanssa hotellissa yötä vaikka joudumme heräämään neljältä yöllä koska lento lähtee 06:30 aamulla. Ja tällä kertaa emme tule yöllä takaisin Suomeen, vaan saavumme Helsinkiin jo alkuillasta. Se on oikeastaan vain hyvä asia, koska en pysty nukkumaan autossa :(

This week has gone very fast because whole next week is autumn holiday and I have waited it already so long because I'm in Barcelona from Sunday to Thursday as a tourist. (:  I'm already going to Helsinki on Saturday because I'm staying in hotel over night with my family even we have to wake up at four by night because the flight leaves at 06:30 in the morning. And at this time we are not coming back to Finland at night but we are arriving to Helsinki already in early evening. I think it's only a good thing because I can't sleep in car :(

Jotain hyvää matkamusiikkia / Some good music for my trip

Helsinki 15.-17.7.2013 (muokattu 110720172134EEST)

Olin siis 15.-17. heinäkuuta Helsingissä. Lähdin kotoa aamulla ja olin perillä alkuiltapäivästä, vaikka Lusissa olikin matkantekoa hidastavia päällystystöitä. Hotellina toimi tällä(kin) kertaa Katajanokalla sijaitseva Scandic Grand Marina, joka on mukavalla paikalla näköyhteyden päässä Kauppatorilta ja Esplanadin puistosta.

So, I was in Helsinki 15th-17th of June. I leave home at morning and I arrived to Helsinki at beginning of afternoon. The trip took more time than usually because there was some road pavement going on in Lusi. Our hotel was Scandic Grand Marina (again), which is line of sight from Market Square and Esplanade's park.

Heti vietyäni tavarat huoneeseen menin  Esplanadin puiston lähellä sijaitsevaan Fazerin kahvilaan, joka on suoraan sanottuna herkuttelijan taivas.

After bringing our luggages to our rooms we went immediately to Fazer's Cafe, which is frankly the paradise of gourmand.

Juotuani kahvit lähdin kävellen kohti Kruunuhaan aluetta, jossa en ollut koskaan aiemmin käynyt. Sekä mennessä että tullessa kävelin Senaatintorin ohi, ja siellähän oli tietysti paljon porukkaa kesäpäivää viettämässä ;).

After drinking coffee we went to Kruunuhaka on foot. I hadn't ever been there. Both going and coming back we walked by Senate Square and there was lots of people spending their summer day (of course) ;).

Takaisin tullessa kävin isän kanssa Stockmannilla, ja sitten menin istumaan hänen kanssaan Esplanadin puistoon, jossa oli bändi soittamassa livemusiikkia.

 When we came back from Kruunuhaka, I visited at Stockmann with my dad. After visiting Stockmann I went to Esplanade's park with dad and there was some band playing live music on stage.

Illalla menin sitten koko perheen kanssa Virgin Oil Co.-nimiseen (Stockmannin ja vanhan ylioppilastalon vieressä sijitsevaan) ravintolaan pizzalle. Sitten mentiin takaisin hotellille ja nukuttiin.

In the evening we went to restaurant named "Virgin Oil Co." (which is located next to Stockmann and old Student House)  for eat pizza. Then we went back to hotel and slept.



Tiistaiaamuna ajeltiin ratikalla Hietalahteen katsomaan Tall Ship's Race-aluksia ja käytiin siinä samalla Hietalahden kauppahallissa. Takaisin tultiin kävellen, koska kukaan ei ilmoittanut olevansa liian väsynyt kävelemään (;. Myöhemmin iltapäivällä ajettiin Espoon Tapiolaan katsomaan EMMAssa (=Espoo Museum of Modern Arts) käynnissä olevia näyttelyitä ja käytiin samalla katsomassa EMMAn takapihalla sijaitseva Futuro-talo (se UFOn näköinen).

In Tuesday morning we went to Hietalahti by tram for watching Tall Ship's Race-boats and visited at Hietalahti's market hall. We came back on foot because nobody said to be too tired for walk. Later on afternoon we went to Espoo's Tapiolas to watch EMMA (=Espoo Museum of Modern Arts) where was some exhibitions going on. After visiting on exhibitions we checked out the Futuro-house (which was located to EMMA's backyard), which looked like UFO.

EMMAssa käynnin jälkeen ajettiin äidin siskon luokse, ja siellä menikin muutama tunti puhuessa mitä erinäisimmistä viime aikoina tapahtuneista asioista.

After visiting EMMA we drove to mother's sister's. There we talked about last month's happenings and so on.


Viimeisenä aamuna ei tehty muuta kuin käveltiin vähän aikaa Katajanokalla, ja ajettiin sitten takaisin kesäisen kosteaan ja viileään Keski-Suomeen.

In the last morning we only walked on Katajanokka and  then drove back home to Middle Finland.
