Hi!

My name is Suny and I'm a sunny girl  !

My goal: Have fun!!!

Yippee!

I received my first invitation!

I may travel to the beautiful Finland to Tampere!

On the PC, I inform me of Tampere.




Bye! See you soon!

Hi mum!
I have arrived in Finland!


I got many new friends immediately:


Janne and Jarno:

Ski jumper:

And finally, Gwënelle, who comes from Luxembourg and is a ToyVoyager, too! In this picture we are sitting in a Finnish regional train:


Finland seems to be an interesting country! I'm sure I'll have fun here!

Hi mum!
Today has been a cloudy day here in Hämeenlinna. We had nothing special to do so Emma just took me and Gwënelle to the car and decided to show us interesting places in this town. First we went to a place called Varikonniemi. It is an area with a long history: it was inhabited already in the iron ages and in the 19th century there was a sawmill. These days Varikonniemi is a park with exciting old ruins!


This is a perfect place for monkeys who like to climb! It's sad that there are no monkeys in Finland.

The forest was full of these ruins. They must be old because the trees look old, too.

I found this nice tree and wanted to climb on it!

But then I saw this tree that was even bigger and wanted to climb on that one, too.

Old stairs.

Did I already say that it's sad that there are no monkeys in Finland? They would love this place. Look at this tree! It's so huge that none of us has seen a tree like that before! Unfortunately it wasn't a banana tree 

Suddenly it started raining. We found a good dry place but poor Emma didn't so she got soaking wet.

Actually, she found an old house but there was no roof on it so she got wet anyway. This is one of the windows of that house. A nice view!

This is the old castle of Hämeenlinna. Gwënelle has already been there and told me that it's really worth visiting. I hope Emma will take me to the castle some day - but not today, look at the sky!!


With love

Today was the day Gwënelle has told me horror stories about: the sauna day!
When the weekend comes Finnish people need to wash away stress and worries. Anyway, they think taking a shower isn't enough. They went to a hot room called sauna, sit there quiet and throw water to the hot stones of the sauna.
This is how it looks inside a typical sauna:

Every sauna needs a sauna elf that takes care of the sauna. This sauna seems to have two sauna mice, too. This is the steamy photo of the elf I met:

And this is the clear one:

Behind me you see kiuas, the heart of the sauna. This is where the heat comes. If you throw water to the hot stones they say "sssshhhhh" and it gets hotter in the sauna.

And how it was to bath in the sauna? Well, hot! But after bathing it was easier to fall asleep!

Hi!
My host mum is a postcrosser and had heard that there would be a postcard event in Iittala. Of course she had to go there to buy postcards! Unfortunately she didn't know that the event was meant for those postcard fans who collect old postcards, so there weren't much to see for her. This is the place where the postcard event was held:

Even though Iittala is a small village there were a lot to see that day. We went to the glass museum to see the glass products of Iittala. Many Finns have these glass products at home!



The guest book of the glass museum:

Also a band was playing but no one was listening.

This guy was spying us. Spooky.

We had a nice day in Iittala and we even fullfilled one of the life missions of Gwënelle! It's time to eat a tasty banana and drive back home!
