Today was such a fantastic day. Ika, Mona, and I went to the southern-most tip of Finland: a little coastal town called Hanko (or Hangö in Swedish). The weather ended up being absolutely perfect in spite of the not-so-perfect forcast. First we walked about the shopping streets and paid a visit to the public library (where they have blue lights in the bathroom so druggies can't see their veins...yep, it's a habor town). Then we went into a small bookstore where I bought the final book of my beloved Harry Potter series (I'm only taking a break from reading right now). Then ate at a nice little restaurant next to the guest dock in the harbor. The meal at this restaurant was substantially better than any of the previous meals out. After lunch Mona went and visited her cousin while Ika and I strolled around the guest dock. We climbed up a cliff and took a nap on a rock :) Then we went further and looked at the old cannons and other war remains. Then we looked at the Villas (I've decided that I will live in one someday) as well as the casino, which isn't actually a casino. We later reunited with Mona and ate cake and coffee at the House of Four Winds (pic of us at the table). It was gorgeous...duh. Then we left. The end.
