Best summer weeks in Finland 2013

Soooo they day surprisingly came, Steve came after me to Finland like he had said that he would. And, not only for a weekend but for two weeks!!

At the time I was still living with my parents so I had to come up with this "Mommmm I met this guy and he wants to come see me here, can he stay over.." and the quick and most important add to that was "you tell dad..".

At the airport I was so nervous that my words wont even describe it.. Didn't know how to stand, how to keep my arms, where to put them.. I didn't really know what to expect really. We had only hang out for 5 days in basically paradise.. What would he be wearing? Would he have a nerd suitcase or a sports bag or what? What if he had all black clothers or something..

Well all this panicking ended up being for nothing. He was excatly like I remembered, we had meen messaging every single day since we met so it wasnt like we hadnt kept in touch. It felt so good to be in his arms, it felt like we hadn't been apart at all!

My parents were in Croatia for a holiday so first it was meet the sister. It went really well as i thought that it would. :)

On the next day we went out to Helsinki with my friends and came back really late during which my parents had come home. So the next morning it was time to meet the parents. :D I've never seen him that nervous !! He kept saying that I cant come out from your bedroom!! I ll climb down and ring the door bell instead...

Well the two weeks and wayy to fast by enjoying each other's company and showing him some sights in Helsinki.. During that two weeks we of course talked about "us" and both were saying that can't or dont wan't a long distance relationship..

Here are some pics of our time in Helsinki!

Seurasaari 

Finnish fashion?! xD 

Like I said it went way too fast and soon it was time to cry at the airport. :( The only thing that cheerhed me up was that we had agreed that I would go to England to meet his parents in four weeks.. :) 

Rest of Barcelona

Wou it's been ages! Literally!

I'll try to catch up a bit to the most recent travels.. Last text is from summer 2013 and obviously I've travelled quite a bit after that..

Here we goooo!

It's actually a shame that I never finnished this cause now I can't remember anyyy names to places etc.. I could google but I cannot be bothered. :( Too excited to write about the new travels now. ;)

Here it is through pictures!

Yes, we did get lots. 

New style?

Appetizer

We laughed so much on the plane on our way back!!

The last picture tells more than enough why I was super anxious to get back home.. The guy Steve that I had met in Thailand just four weeks before was coming to Finland to visit me on the same day that I was flying back from Barcelona with Mira! I arrived in the morning and went to pick up Steve in the late afternoon.. More to come! 

Partyyyy in Barcelonaaa

Even tho the previous night we didn`t stay up too late we were really tired the next morning. Maybe it was the sun and the hotness that made us so tired all the time. We enjoyed our five star breakfast in bed (no other place to eat it..). This time we had been wise and went for a supermarket to get extra stuff like yogurts for us.

We had dedicated this day to the beach. We went there with our snacks and drinks with us. It was a hot day!! After three hours or so we left for supermarket to buy stuff to cook from. We had decided that there were no way that we could eat twice out a day. Since of course we didn`t wanna eat in cheap places like Mcdonalds etc.. So tuna pasta with couple of eggs it was. Not only once.. Well, at least even I learnt how to make that food now..

Notice the no cooking sign..

After feeling full from the tuna pasta we went back to the beach! Once again I fell asleep on the beach and somehow it was so refressing even tho waking up and being so sweaty wasn't the best feeling. :D

Ice creams on our way back and then it was shower time. We put our make up on and left for the beach`s walking street with our sangria. Hang out in there, talked, watched the people go by. When the time was late enough it was time to start walking for almost 3 km to this club called Razzmatazz in some big warehouse. It was so early that the place was almost empty. And damn was it expensive or what. The athmosphere got better the more people arrived. Me and Mira had fun laughing to this dj. See the footage.

We left around 3 am and got caught in the middle of this MASSIVE rain storm. I`ve experienced something similar in Greece but never have I been outside when it has been raining like that. We were soaking wet. It was unbelivable how strong the wind was and how fast the rain came. We ran almost the whole way back.

Walk tour around Barcelona

On our first morning in Barcelona we woke up early and waited for the breakfast to begin. Well. Basically there were no breakfast. Only a kitchen. With dry biscuits and jam. Which meant that we paid for that breakfast since it was included in our price. Nam. After we enjoyed our healthy and big breakfast we put our running gear on and left for a run along the beach for 50 min! Have I never been that thirsty after a run! We ran straight to a supermarket to buy cold water. :D 

Before the run..

After taking showers it was time to meet Jorge, one of my Spanish friend's who had been in Helsinki as an exchange student. Jorge lives in Barcelona so he had agreed on being our tour guide and show us around. Well that he definitely did. He had planned a whole walking tour around the most famous sights which were walking distance apart from each other. We ended up walking for 4 hours straight! I wonder how many bottles of water we drank.. Of course we could have taken metros in between but we preferred walking, seeing places and buildings etc.

Catedral of Barcelona

From inside.

Can't remember this one.. Nice art thing next to the main street. Maybe Gaudi something? :D 

I have never seen anything so big. That thing was massive and they've build it since 1882...! I have also never seen so many people queing to get in somewhere in roasting sun! If you can only imagine how big the church is.. There were people waiting in lines around it!!!! They must have had to wait at least from one hour forward.. Since the line wasn't even moving anywhere..!

Sagrada familia

Little more pad thai and texting to Steve.. :D

Arc de trionf..

Historical garden Park de la Ciutadella.

Strugglin a bit.. 

When our sight seeing was done Jorge kindly walked us back to our B&B place and showed us some stuff from the map where we should still try to go to. When that was done it was time to hit the beach! We hang out on the beach for two hours until 6 o`clock. I managed to fall asleep since I was exhausted. Nice and soft sand, warming sun, little breeze. What a better place to take a little nap?

That night we  left again for La Rambla but this time to some Pita House to eat. It was nice to wander around in peace and look at the people walking by. We didn`t wanna go back too early so we went to see what happened on the beach street:
