First views of Tallinn
On the boat to Tallinn
There's even snow and ice undercover.
It's so beautiful
Unfortunatly it was too cold to stay outside for long, so we had to take some quick photos then go inside
So beautiful!
On the boat
I took this from inside because it was too cold to stay outside for too long. It's amazing how the sea looks like a road.
On our way to Tallinn
Check out the ice on the water! It kind of looks like a road where the boat is going because all the ice is crushed up
This is were I live
Sibelius Academy
Going to school
Outside!
Before going outside
-14 !!!!
Check out the ice!
This is were I go to the gym
ICE
On my way back to Clavis
Someone went to a lot of effort just so we didn't have to walk 10 metres extra around this pile of snow.
FREEZING!
It took a lot of pain to get this photo. I had to take my hand out of my glove, then my camera didn't get a good enough photo so I had to walk closer which ment walking away from the bus stop, which ment being in the cold even longer! The wind was blowing and this temperature is measured out of the wind. Imagine how my cheeks felt if my hand hurt from being outside for 30 seconds my cheeks were ice blocks that I couldn't feel!

Cross country ice skates

There wasn't much to do because it was extremely cold outside and the house was very small. So we spent a lot of time playing cards. It was so lovely and fun!

Walking around Aland
On my last day in Aland I managed to find the energy to walk around a bit. It is very beautiful
Aland
A local artist created this. I think it is quite strange. I guess the people of Aland are a fair way from the rest of the world.
Aland
Strange don't you think! I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this.
