Winter in Turku

This winter has been exceptionally cold and we've had a lot of snow in Turku. Now the snow is slowly melting, but I'm afraid the whole of Finland will bee flooded and float away with the masses of water!:/

People have to pass this way on their way to the University.
Good luck with that then... 
(oh, and did you notice that not all of the snow has melt yet?) 

Despite the vast amounts of snow, I've been cycling all year round, all around Turku - and that's because I don't have a car. But alas! Today I noticed that my bike was in a pretty bad shape: the back wheel was wobbly. I made it to work, then to another work place, then to the bike shop - only to find the shop was closed for winter!>:(    - and then to another bike repair shop to leave my poor bike there. Phew. I was pretty mad. This was not the best week for the bike to be broken...


For the time being (a week or so) I will have to get around with this (see photo).
Meet my second bike AKA the bike I forgot to take with me when I moved to my new apartment in November...

Lonely, sad and forgotten.
