Arriving in Raasepori I was supposed to get off the train at a very small station... Well, the train stopped but as I couldn't see any "station-like" buildings and no-one else moved to get out, I didn't realize I had to get off the train! I realized when I saw my fiend's blonde hair through the window but the train was already moving... I got off the train ten minutes later and my friend came to get me by car:)
Actually I probably should be politically correct and call the town "Raseborg" in Swedish, and they've also had a consolidation of municipalities. In the town called Tammisaari they also have the last Swedish speaking brigade in Finland, the
Uusimaa Brigade. My friend can see the young men running around in their practise and doing push-ups from her balcony!:):) That's not too bad!! :P
We had planned an active weekend: we were going horseback riding on Icelandic horses. It was a three hour ride in a place nearby
called Mustio with two other girls.
Here's the link to the stable Hestbakki (note: they will be moving soon to another town!) My horse was called
Fjalar, which is an old mythological Norse name. I'm not very experienced when it comes to horses. I'd love to learn a bit more about horses and riding and have this as a real hobby... Here are photos from that trip, horse photos taken with my mobile phone...
