August Expeditions 

During the whole of august we were excited to explore Kuopio, first and foremost though we wanted bikes and FAST, everyone here rides round on bikes and it was such beautiful weather we didnt care how much it cost us to get one (they are like gold dust to find) but after a long and hard search we found a nice chappy who was willing to sell us two matching bikes

and here you have them, it took us a while to decide on names for them, but we eventually came up with 'Issy' and 'Pissy' (for reasons that can not be disclosed)

now that we had our bikes it was time to explore, on the route to university from our apartment there is a lake called lake Kallavesi, like all the lakes in Finalnd it is beautiful especially when the sun is shining on it so we cycled round it and got some pretty awsome views from all angles

from meeting out international tutors Eija and Helja and Paulina we have found out some pretty Rad stuff that they do over here, one being swimming in the lakes, when we arrived it was moderately warm  but not the sort of temperature that i would choose to swim in, that does not however stop the locals who apparently think this is really good weather to swim in.

This Chappy was loving the weather in his speedos
