our place we stayed at
Day one was pretty calm though we had to woke up pretty early to catch the ship that took us from Tallinn (Estonia) to Helsinki (Finland). After arriving to Helsinki we decided to take some time to look around over there though we have visited Helsinki countless times already but I desperately needed to go to shop to buy myself a new bag so the idea of going shopping sounded great.
After shopping we started to drive to Turku. The drive seemed endless to me at some point. And then we had our funniest moment of the trip I think when one of us didn't know how to read a map and held it up-side-down and told completely wrong directions... but soon we took the map away from her and reached our place to stay in few minutes.
We stayed at one extremely beautiful villa, pretty much near the sea and it was really comfortable and cosy place. I truely loved our veranda!
Later in evening we decided to go back to Turku (the villa we stayed at was about 10km out of Turku). And it was a pretty good idea to go and look around because for the other day we got some ideas and noticed few more sights to see.
So the first day was mostly about driving and visiting tourist information to get more idea of the way things are.

Very pleasant and lovely house-keeper and really great breakfast! We had all our breakfasts at our veranda and it was really lovely.
The house is old but it's very comfortable and beautiful.
We stayed there with 6 persons and everyone had space without a problem.
There's also a sauna facility avaliable and kitchen.
