A few days after I got home from Estonia I had to gather all my energy to go to the
town of Hanko (Hangö in Swedish), the southernmost place in Finland. The town is known to be a summer town and very popular among people who like to sail. There's a strong majority of Swedish speaking Finns in Hanko.
This time the "hankoish" summer weather was not present (it was raining) and towards the evening I was getting nervous whether we would actually get the chance to attend the kayaking course we had signed up for...
We stayed at
Hotelboat Hanko. The kayaking course was (Saturday & Sunday) quite heavy but a lot of fun! Two of us girls took part in it, and a few other friends came with us just to see the town of Hanko and attend "The opening of Hanko Casino", dresscode: coctail dresses mandatory;) So on Saturday evening we had dinner at
Origo and then checked out the local night club, the Casino.
Here are a few photos of that adventure (the kayaking photos are in my mobile phone, and I hope to upload them later - naturally I couldn't take my big camera with me in the kayak!).
