Cottaging!

After sailing, we spent last weekend in a cottage (1st-3rd of October), in a place called Seeteri. Seeteri is a farm that offers cottages for rent which look very nice and at a reasonable price :) It is hard to say whether it primarily is a farm and then a place that provides accomodation or viceversa but the result doesn't really matter ;) Seeteri is located about 10km from Somero which is a small and peaceful village in the middle of nowhere in the Turku region, and about 100km west of Helsinki.

There of course we did all the usual things that you'd do in a cottage in Finland: visited the surroundings, walked around the lake and enjoyed the beautiful look of the Finnish Autumn, rowed, grilled, had a sauna (a real sauna, not one of those electrical ones!!), walked around the forest picking up berries and mushrooms (I even managed to find some familiar ones... "rovellons" for the Catalan speakers, but I didn't dare to pick them up because I wasn't 100% sure) and in general, enjoyed a really beatiful view in a gorgeous environment. What else can you ask for...? Oh yes, we also had something to drink :)

I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to see a bit more of the real Finland instead of staying all the time in Helsinki. Also the price for the cottage was only 223Ä for the whole weekend and it was big enough for 6 persons so that's actually less than 40Ä/person.
