I kind of left that Russian trip unfinished and dangling around, so here's a brief and happy ending: We visited the Solovetski islands during the next day and came all the way back to Helsinki by bus, we had to spend the night there, so I went walking around (for a while) with some friends. I remember that I fell asleep in one of the bars of the ship, after some Finnish guy came, somehow pinched me behind my ear and said that I'm not allowed to use that area as my sleeping space. That's that.
I should say a few words about visiting my dad in Brussels too. In fact, scratch "Les Contamines, France" which I had already put as the title of this post. This deserves to be a separate post, so I'm gonna call it "Russia (Cont.) & Belgium". I prefer neutral names here to make it easier to navigate.
Anyway, it was in the end of October, one week. Whole family. My dad lives there because of his work (Galileo project). Nice humble place, Brussels is. We took a car and saw the countryside and villages of Southern Belgium too. Quiet and really relaxing area. Belgium seemed somewhat lazy.. We popped through Luxembourg also, where I hadn't ever been to before. While walking around in the downtown, I happened to see one of my schoolmates, it felt pretty weird seeing his face there..
The nature was great, sadly I didn't have much time to experience and explore it (which I love doing) because of my parents.. Well, I'm going back tomorrow.
