Road trip Part 4: Tervakoski here I come

The travelblog continues. Finally we were ready and set to go to Puuhamaa (which I guess translates as 'Activity land' and sounds just as lame in Finnish), which is a small primitive 'amusement' park where you have to do everything by yourself. You know, row, paddle, jump etc. The only things that actually had service or electricity were 3 boats and 3 go-karts, which of course everybody were lining for. Mostly the place was filled with obese kids in bathing suits, cos' there's also a water park. We forgot our bikinis, so we just had to make the best of jumping, rowing and paddling. And drinking.

I'm still a bit shocked of the prices in Finnish grocery stores, so I just bought some fruit and pastries to bring with me. The best part of the trip is eating your lunch though, so I took it out immediately in the train. Soon Piritta stated: "You've already eaten half of your lunch. And we're in Pasila." Pasila is the first station after down town. There was another hour and a half to go.

Jenna the Great sponsored our trip by giving us some Paula-puddings.

Finally the authentic karjalan piirakka - karelian pasty, that no Finn can live without!

Puuhamaa

You have been warned.

Some Puuha-'juice'.

This thing looked cool!

So of course we had to check it out!

Spinning this machine also worked self-service...

so Piritta was pushing the buttons and of course we were hanging upside down the whole time!


Rock ON! This is the reason you go to Puuhamaa!

And this: Puuha-nalle - 'Activity-teddy'. Laundry of the day: pants from Herrlicher (Berlin), flip flops from Vans, cap Volcom, top H&M with my own print and the belt from Pull 'n Bear (Mexico).

Excitedly towards new goals! This helicopter went like 2 miles/hour and the rotor wasn't even moving.

Garth from Wayne's World was there again, wearing Wayne's cap! How do I pull these faces off?

To the formula-cars! No liscence, no sense, but the right attitude and some activity-juice! ;)


Off to the seas.

Burnin' hot life-vests and icy poses!

These were also worth the 2 hour wait. Great ending to a great day!

P.S.
