Kesä ja loma, osa 6, todellinen yllätys Varkaudessa, Mekaanisen musiikin "museo"

Mieletön paikka, sanat ei pysty kuvaamaan vaan tämä pitää kokea itse. Tunnin kestävällä kierroksella näkee ja kuulee vaikka mitä huimia soittimia. Voi vaan ihmetellä miksi kaikki nämä on joskus rakennettu.

Kesä ja loma, osa 5, takaisin Suomessa ja kohteena Kajaani

Matka jatkui Gorsabrualta länteen, Tromssan ja Kiirunan kautta takaisin Suomeen.

Kotiin oli liian pitkä ajomatka, joten piti löytää joku kiva paikka missä yöpyä.

Sellainen löytyi Kajaanista, Kartanohotelli Karolineburg.

Ja sen pehtoorintupa missä yövyimme.

Harvoin aamupala tarjoillaan näin hienossa ympäristössä.

Kesä ja loma, osa 4, Norja, Gorsabrua, Pohjois-Euroopan syvin kanjoni

Ja matka jatkuu Kilpisjärveltä pohjoiseen...

Gorsabrua, taas yksi hieno paikka. Tie Birtavarresta eteenpäin oli kuoppainen hiekkatie ja välillä tuntui, että ei varmastikaan olla oikealla reitillä. Lampaat tykkäsi maata pitkin teitä eivätkä kovin innokkaasti väistäneet. No toisaalta mehän siellä niitä häirittiin eikä ne meitä.

Parkkipaikalta matkaa putoukselle oli 1.8 km ja reitti oli kaunis ja helppo kulkea.

 

Kesä ja loma, osa 3, Kilpisjärvi, airbnb majoitus ja Kitsiputous

Ja matka jatkuu Saariselältä länteen... 

Täällä meillä oli ihana airbnb mökki ihan järven rannalla.

Airbnb on aivan mahtava palvelu, voit asua mökissä missä on kaikki mitä tarvitset ja enemmänkin. Ja maisemat oli taas niin hienot.

Mikäs tässä rentoutuessa.

Kitsiputous Mallan luonnonpuistossa kutsuu.

Kesä ja loma, osa 2, Saariselkä, Rumakuru ja Pyhä-Nattanen

Ja matka jatkuu pohjanmaalta pohjoiseen....

Saariselkä ja hienot maisemat Kaunispään rinteessä olevalta mökiltä.

Ensimmäisenä päivän kävelimme maailman kauneimmalle Rumakurulle.

Toisena päivänä Pyhä-Nattanen.
Tämä oli yksi hienoimmista paikoista mitä olemme suomesta löytäneet.
Kiipeäminen ei ollut niin rankkaa kuin mitä kuvittelin, sauvat auttaa todella paljon.

Kesä ja loma, osa 1, Pohojanmaa

Oli kesä, oli loma. Meidän reissun ensimmäinen kohde oli siskon ja hänen miehensä mökki pohojanmaalla.

Rakkaus mereeen syntyi jo lapsena ja mitä vanhemmaksi tulee niin sitä hienommalta meri aina vaan tuntuu.

 “In the Kalevala, a great oak tree connects the earth, the heaven and the underworld. A big oak grows in the world as early as the world is still being edited and created. The oak covers the moon and the sun, and the world becomes dark. There is a search for a woodcutter, but nobody seems to succeed. Finally, from the sea becomes a small copper-colored dressed man who becomes a giant and hits the tree with three strokes of axe. The lights of heaven are finally released, and the world is ready. The magic powers of the tree are released for human joy. The treetop cutter gets the lifelong magic touch, the cutter of the branch gets happiness forever and the sprig cutter gets the eternal love.”
