finnish memories

Algunas me habéis pedido que os muestre fotos de mi viaje a Finlandia. No fue mucho tiempo libre el que tuve, pero puedo asegurar que lo disfruté al máximo. Es un país fantástico con paisajes increíbles. El blanco infinito me transmitía una sensación de tranquilidad y bienestar...que hacen llevar mucho mejor los muchos grados bajo cero. Toda una gran experiencia, y por eso quiero dar las gracias una vez más a mi amiga Kata!!!

Some of you have asked me if I can show some pictures of my trip to Finland. Although I had not much spare time, I can assure that I enjoyed it the most. It is a wonderful country with awesome landscapes. The infinite white transmited me serenity and peace...that makes easier to stand the many minus zero degrees. It has been a great experience,  and that's why I want to say one more time thanks to my friend Kata!!!

our roads

No sabía que fotos mostraros ya que en ninguna aparece ningún outfit ni tendencia, lo único de lo que me preocupaba era de no morirme de frío! la verdad es que las chicas de estos países que posan con falditas, medias y tacones se merecen un monumento!

I didn't know which pictures to choose since in none of them appears any cool outfit or trend, the only thing I was worried about was not to get frozen! it is true that the girls of these countries who pose with short skirts, tights and heels deserve a monument!



Turku

Allá vamos... por primera vez me vais a poner cara, qué nervios!

There we go...for the first time, you'll see my face, I'm nervous!





ice-walk on iced Lappajärvi lake

freezing ice fishing and to warm up... a bit of shopping!

wonderful cross-country ski in the forest

Helsinki Cathedral, can be more beautiful with the snow and the blue sky?

Helsinki harbour

a bit of street shopping...despite the freezing wind!
Fur hats, fur earflaps, fur mitten, hand made wool jumpers, socks, caps...

cute fur baby shoes... I would have bought all, though I have no baby!

in Finland it's always Christmas, at least in this lovely shop

Helsinki Old Market, from any kind of smoked salmon, reindeer furs, to sweets, candies and delicious jams

... y claro no pude resistirme a comprar algo en esos mercadillos.
... and of course I couldn't resist to buy something in these street markets.



Lappland style wool caps, fur mittons, some little cute father christmas and my favourite,
hand made wool socks, so warm!!!


espero que os hayan gustado las fotos, ya me diréis qué os parecen.. el lunes vuelvo al norte a pasar frío!

I hope you like the pictures, you'll tell me how you find them... next monday I'll fly back to the cold north!
