Friday in Finland

Friday, March 20th
We were taken by three coaches to Iso-Syote to enjoy skiing and sleighing as well as roasting. The weather on the way seemed to be anything but not nice. As we arrived though, it suddenly turned into a beautiful sunny day. Those brave of the English group rented skiis for x-country and followed the "skilled" Czech instructors.


Majority of children had a great amount of fun while sleighing/toboganning on improvised plastic bags.




After having a delicous lunch, we were happy to be informed about a national Syote park by a nice guide. Some of the children were entertained by a seeking game prepared for them in a permanent display



Both films were impressive and showed how the Finns care about their precious nature and their eagerness to pass it on their youth.

Roasting the "Pulla" in the afternoon was definitely a pure rarity for all of us. Not for the Finns though :)
