Little summer trip :)

I have made a little trip some weeks ago to a lake, which is aprox. 5 minutes driving away from my flat. It´s so great there and I have taken a lot of photos, but here are just the "most beautiful" ones. ;)

I walked around the lake and I was sitting on a big stone for some minutes to enjoy the sun and relax a bit and I have taken this right photo from that place. :)

It´s really good to walk around a lake or in the forest to relax and to get your head free from everything.

This little trip took about 1,5 hours, so not too long, but absolutely enough for me to relax. It was such a beautiful weather that I had to go out! Since this summer hasn´t been so warm and sunny this year, you have to enjoy every single sunny day!

Moving to Finland - Final

And there it is... the final shield which tells us we will be soon in Finland... finally. :)

Unfortunately we hadn´t spent any time in Helsinki, because we drove straight down from the ferry up to my new living place.

We drove about 7 hours to North.

The scenery was very beautiful, but as I said, we were just sitting in the car and driving... but for sightseeing we would have been too tired. ;)

This last photo I like very special. To drive over a bridge and a lake...


The first three days we have spent in a hotel there since in my new flat there has been no bed, couch,... nothing. We needed to fix everything and that took time. ;)

Moving to Finland III

From Warsow we drove again about 12 hours to Riga, Latvia. I have felt so sorry for my cats, cause they had to stay of course so long in the car. Of course they have gotten food and water and I gave them the possibility to go out, when we made a break, but they were afraid of the noises that they wanted to stay in their boxes at that time.

The left photo shows my cat Kiran, which is about 1,5 years, the right photo shows my cat Vivi, which is just 4 months. ;) Both have been most of the time really calm and quiet and slept almost the whole way. :) I´m very proud of them! :)

Riga has been also a really nice city, but there we had again a problem in the hotel, which was also Radisson Blue. I really like Radisson Blue, but this time we just hadn´t much luck. ;) But the hotel was very nice anyway! Our car was just too high for the garage of the hotel, so we needed to find another solution and it ended up that a really nice guy from the reception of the hotel gave us the possibility to park our car in the "personal parking area" of the hotel. Thanks a lot for that!

I haven´t taken so many photos of Riga unfortunately, cause we have been even more tired than we were in Warsow, so we just went to a restaurant there and I took some photos while passing by at some buildings.

But Riga is also a visit worth! :)

Moving to Finland II

So the trip was actually a very looong trip. From my hometown we drove about 5 hours to Frankfurt Oder and spent one night there in a little and really nice hotel. On the next day we drove from there to Warsow, Poland which took us about 10 hours. We have been so tired that I unfortunately haven´t taken so many photos of Warsow, what is quite bad because it´s a really beautiful city! But here are some at least:

We drove so long to Warsow and as we arrived there, so many things happened, we haven´t expected. At first we wanted to get bencin at the gas station. But we couldn´t pay with Euros!??! Poland is in the European Union, they have their own currancy, but usually they should accept Euros. Anyway, we had to pay with Mastercard. Then we arrived in the hotel and checked-in and had to get all the things for my cats in my hotel room. That means, the cat toilet, the sand for the cat toilet, food and so on and of course my own luggage. It was so embarassing to walk through the hotel lobby with all that stuff...

But it was my decision to take the cats with me to Finland, what I haven´t regretted yet, so I had to handle with that.

This second photo was by the way taken from the window of my hotel room. I had a really nice view from there!

After some minutes relaxing in our hotel rooms, we went out of the hotel and went to a little restaurant on the other side of the street. It was a greek restaurant and the food was so yummie and cheap! :)

The funny thing was that this little restaurant accepted Euros! And the gas station we went before and also our hotel we stayed for one night didn´t accept Euros. I didn´t understand that a Radisson Blue Hotel doesn´t accept Euros, since it´s really big and famous hotel, which exists mostly in every big city and where a lot of international people are staying for some nights.

This third photo was taken also by me when I walked through Warsow for some time. ;)

I walked through Warsow because I wanted to see this building from a closer point, since I just have seen it from the restaurant we have been eating. ;) 

Moving to Finland I

To update my blog, in which I haven´t written again for so long, I´ll start with my moving to Finland. :)

There was so much going on with moving, school, traveling and other stuff that I hadn´t much time for writing here.

All started of course in Germany with packing and packing and packing...

That was our floor short time before leaving for the trip. But this is actually nothing against how it looked some hours before... Anyway... I took some photos of my pets (since I hadn´t any photos of them) to take the photos with me to Finland to remember them. For example my too birds, which will stay in my mum´s home I´ll miss. They have been always quite loud, especially when we watched Tv, they thought they need to speak with the Tv voices. :) Sometimes it was annoying, but I will miss them anyway.

I´ll also miss my two rabbits, which we usually wanted to give away to other persons. But unfortunately we haven´t found anyone. They are just about 1,5 years but I think people who want to get rabbits, they want to get young ones. And another important thing for us was and still is, that the rabbits are staying normal house pets and not end up in the kitchen... Luckily my mum and her boyfriend will take care of them until we have found somebody who wants to take care of them and to live with them. Hopefully, we will find a nice new place for them.

I have a lot of pets, I had to leave in Germany, what is really sad but I couldn´t take all of them with me to Finland. At first, it would have been to stressful for all of them, second it´s not allowed to have so many pets in a student flat and third I don´t have time and space here for so many pets.
My dog will also stay in my mum´s place, which is really good for the dog since she is already an older lady and it would have been too stressy for her. ;)

I know they are all doing fine in my "old" home, so I don´t have to be worried about them. Just sometimes it feels strange that I have left them in Germany, but it´s a good feeling to know that they are doing fine so far, so I don´t regret it at all. ;)
