Travelog post for: Erol the Pirat

Hey dad!

Today I was cycling with my hostmom and all other ToyVoyagers.
And because Finland is "the country with thousands of lakes" we were cycling around the lake named Jyväsjärvi. There I saw beautiful nature of this town. And guess what... the lake is just next to city center!

Hostmom also told me that there's about 188 000 lakes in Finland. Wow! So many!  Cool! 

Look how nice little basket hostmom put in her bicycle. We all toys travelled in it.



And here we go! Oh, dad, I can already see the lake! Can you?



From there we just came...



And there you can see the lake, a street for cars and a railway, too.



Now we are even more close to the lake Jyväsjärvi.



The city center is so close the lake.



Now we are in the lake Jyväsjärvi. And we are going to cycle all around the hole lake!





The views from the harbour.







Look! The flags of many different countries! 





There is Kuokkala, the one part of the Jyväskylä city.



And this is the bridge of Kuokkala.







Going forward.



The bridge of Kuokkala even one more time.
Hostmom took so many photos... 



And again the bridge of Kuokkala...
C'moon hostmom, please stop taking pictures, and continue cycling. 



Thanks. Now it's the right direction: forward.
(By the way dad, we are in Lutakko, it's the one part of Jyväskylä (as Kuokkala)).



Oh my... even one more photo of the bridge of Kuokkala! 



YES, keep going hostmom...











Ok, I have to admit, that this view is quite nice (there's the bridge of Kuokkala again in the picture, hih).



It's so nice that there's this small street for pedestrians and bikes so close this lake.
Hostmom told me, that this is the popular for people to exercise by walking, running, cycling, rolleyskating etc. around this lake.





There's Lutakko.



And there's Kuokkala.



And there are both: Kuokkala and Lutakko.



Look dad! Can you see that small castle just in front?



The castle is part of the park named Peukkula. It's a place where children can play all the day, and meet some fairy tale creatures!!! 





And look at this! Wow! The pirat ship!!! 



Now we are in the bridge named Äijälänsilta. Look, there's two men canoeing there! Can you see them?





This is Äijälänsilta.



And now our little journey continues.



There's city center... So so far!!!



Isn't this view nice? There's many birches, very typical tree in Finland.



Hih hih... Guess what is this bridge's name... YES, it's the bridge of Kuokkala, only from the other side of the lake now. 





There's the harbour and the city center and Lutakko.





Look, there's two wild ducks swimming (yes, those two small black spots in the lake)





And the journey continues. Look how green there is.



On the left side, there's trees.



And on the right side, there's the lake.





This bridge called as Mattilanniemen silta (a bridge of Mattilanniemi).



And we keep going...







...and keep going...



A cute small bridge.



Now we have cycled around the hole lake!





When we were back inside, we looked from the map, where we were cycled exactly. Look the red line around the lake, that is the way we were cycled today. Hostmom told me, we cycled about 15 kilometres. Wow! 



It was nice!

Love,
Erol the Pirat
