Como andan todos?

So, we have been travelling in the North as some of u might know. We came back home last tuesday morning just in time to start our Hotel Management project for thursday! How Mikkeli style is that... :)

Some facts about travelling:

-Choose the best form of transportation.


Busses here are great! Think of business class in planes and you'll get the idea.That's us in the bus just starting our 19 hour trip to Salta from Buenos Aires.


- Prepare for loooong and boring trips.

There's NOTHING in between big cities. Officially nothing... Middle of nowhere just got a new meaning... This is the only building in probably 200 kilometers or something.. 7am, breakfast, I need to say no more.


-The best way to travel and see places is to rent a car. But make sure that when u rent one to drive to the mountains u don't get a volkswagen polo with a 1.6 l motor. Jääpoolo.. :)
The official car show girls. And boy. Becoming more like a girl after sitting in the same car for 10 days with the girls...


-Always keep your camera ready with u. You never know when you'll see some awsome tricks by mother nature.
The all-so-not-expected geyser in the middle of nowhere. Niiiceee!!


-Remember to have a regular restaurant in every city. That way you'll get better service.

In Salta in a great restaurant with awesome food! Less than 140 pesos (35 €) for 5 peoples appetisers, food, dessert, drinks, wine, beer........... I'm loving it.


-Remeber to avoid McDonalds when travelling. And detect all such related to it.
McPato. A.k.a. McDuck. Duck as in Donald Duck. U do the math. Crazy Argentineans...


-Go shopping for local stuff in local places.
This is in the valley of 7 colors or something like that. Shopping for handicrafts.


-Also see the sights.
The mountain of 7 colors.


-Be on top of the world

Heini somewhere in the Andes. Over 4000 meters of mountain beneith us.


-Go crazy every once in a while
The craft. :)


-Visit big cities.
Well, basically there is a house so it is an urban zone...


-Do something you've never done before.

Heini trying a little cayak.

Kaarlo doing Canopy and fooling around as usual.

Kaarlo riding a horse. You go cowboy!!

Anni doing the Canopy Superman-style.

All of us getting ready for some Canopy.

Heini doing Rappel.

All of us hiking in the beautiful nature of the north.


-Enjoy the beautiful nights in the mountains.

Us girls sitting by a fire in our base camp of the adventure place where we did the hiking, rappel, canopy, and rafting.


-Party every once in a while.

Tiina, Päivi, Anni and Kaarlo drinking 7 Strawberry Daiquiries that we had para llevar. So take-away daiquiries. I love this country... :)


-See places you've never seen before.

The Tropic of Capricorn. That's the northest point we went to.


-Try to avoid dangerous places.


Carrera muerta. Not promising the safest drive. We survived.
