I am in Finland all checked into my room. Once I got onto the bus it was fine. I watched the sun set around midnight and it was back up around 2/3am. It was very difficult to convince my body that it WAS night-time and I am supposed to be sleeping. I was up for about an hour around 5 then slept in till 10 when one of the other girls came and knocked on our door. Last night we stopped at a little mini mart so I could pick up a little food for today, because all the stores are closed due to today being a national holiday. (not sure what for). Unfortunately we probably won't have internet in the rooms until Monday or Tuesday because its a process to set it up or something. We (8 of us) decided we could take the day to explore and find the university that we have to check into tomorrow morning at 9am. Lets just say we took the long way! We just got onto what ever bus and then got off when one of the other students thought we were close by. We've probably walked in the upwards of 3 miles, stopped for pizza along the way and now we are sitting outside the university, which is closed, but we have access to their wifi. Some of the girls found phones yesterday for 9 euros with a 20-30 euro sim/minutes card. I will try to pick one up tomorrow.
It is soo beautiful here! The weather today is bright and quite warm. The night didn't seem to get too cold because there was hardly anytime when the sun was down. Next we're planning on getting ice cream on our way back to our rooms. I think after that we'll probably nap for a bit - or at least spend some time apart. I think the rest of the group is planning on going out and finding more night clubs or something. I'm pretty tired so I'm not sure what my plan is yet.
I'll probably have access to internet tomorrow at the school again.
