Ruissalo Orienteering

Went orienteering today.  You get a map and a compass and try to find different places.  I was in a group with 2 classmates from India and 2 Germans.  Weather was overcast and it rained a little but it was still fun.  

Trampled around the forest and saw a lot of mushrooms.  Lots of moss made the rocks slippery and covered many holes but thats part of the fun :)

Ruissalo (The Beach)

Meet up with a friend and went to "the beach" or the closest thing to a beach they have here.  It was only about 20min away by bus.  It reminded me a lot of lake tahoe / donner lake camping :)

Water was surprisingly not salty, more brackish I guess since the river meets the sea there and its an archipelago. 

Another beautiful day in Finland!
