Savonlinna - the end

Holy crap I seriously thought I was going to have so much time to post lots of pictures for this place but no such luck. Today's our last morning/afternoon here in Savonlinna... it seems so weird to say it. This place has in some ways become a second home. I'm going to miss a lot of people and places, but that's beside the point. Pictures!

Inside of Olavinlinna - that awesome castle. This time we went on a tour.


View from Olavinlinna looking out at the nearby area of the town.

This is the biggest wooden church in the world - kinda neat! I kept envisioning what would happen if you lit a match.

View of inside of the church. If you can't afford marble, paint wood to look like it!

I'm seriously going to miss this place and all the friends I've made here - it's been a wild 3 weeks in Savonlinna... saying goodbye is hard.


I think it'd be pretty fitting to close this with pictures from the last night here, spent with good friends, good drinks, good music and wonderful conversation. The girl I met from the Netherlands, Manon, and I spent a good chunk of time at this place - it's a rock/dance/live music venue, and any place that will play industrial in varying flavours or just randomly play CoF and Bodom is cool by me. We spent many a happy night drinking and requesting songs, and met a lot of fun people there too. I give you: The Rocks.


And so, as the final image - some graffiti that made me giggle helplessly. Initially it said "Elvis oli kala" (Elvis was a fish), but they changed it to read "Popin kuningas oli kala" (The king of pop was a fish). So in the case I can't update from Helsinki before I leave, I hope everyone has enjoyed this blog and I'll talk to you all soon.



Tavataan taas!
