Day 6 – 19/04/26

Ignacio:
We woke up and had breakfast, then we ate some crepes that are very popular at local festivals in Finland before heading back to Tampere. When we arrived, we spent some time resting at home, watched basketball on TV, and had typical Finnish sausages for dinner.

Enrique:
Today we woke up much earlier than usual because we were going skiing on one of the biggest mountains near Kolari. We took a bus, and when we arrived, we rented ski equipment for me. Then we went to the slopes to practice, because it was my first time skiing. The first few falls were hard, but by the third run I was already improving. Little by little, I learned how to turn and stopped falling. After about an hour, I knew the basics, so we decided to go to the top of the mountain. We went down a slope along the side of the mountain that ended near a lift leading to a higher area. When we reached the top, we took some photos. Jimi skied down, but since I’m not as experienced, I went down by lift.
At the bottom, Jimi suggested going up again for one last run. We were very tired, especially me, and the snow was quite melted, which made skiing more difficult. Even so, we went down the slope one last time before taking the bus back. When we got home, we went to the sauna and then we rested.
