Since it was effectively our last day of holiday, we decided to rent a car on a whim. Financially not the most viable option but it was so worth it. It was lovely to have that sense of freedom, not being dependent on anyone to get us from point a to point b, even if it was just for a few hours. We drove to Kuusijärvi to enjoy the sunny day and silence. Had a little picnic by the lake.

Then we drove to Järvenpää to see Johanna and the gang. Olli and Aleksi are growing way too fast! It’s scary. Aleksi was already speaking, to the extent of correcting Stu’s Finnish pronunciation. 😀

All in all, the day was a perfect ending to our little Finnish trip.
