Last weekend I spent magically surrounded by wonderful people traveling my all! So enjoyable.
We took off late on Friday just to be in St.-Petersburg at 5 o'clock in the morning. All this for one: to get on a bus to Finland in time. It wasn't my first time there but I haven't seen the towns we headed to. Kotka and Hamina were lovely and full of super enjoyable snow. I love how cute and neat Finnish towns are! Never the same yet bearing the sibling resemblance. We walked and walked laughing all the way. It's been years since I traveled in such a big group and enjoyed more than I planned!

On Sunday we didn't stay in St. Petersburg for long again choosing new place again. Vyborg is an old defensive city used to be Swedish, Russian and Finnish. Its condition isn't perfect but we enjoyed walking there a lot as well. Local castle and museum left us inspired and happy (also warm, right). Our company grew even bigger and I have to admit the company makes everything look brighter. I absolutely adored the chilly experience of Vyborg as well. Oh, if only they took more care about it.
My outfit is very warm and has more or utility than style. We traveled super lightly and didn't have anything extra we didn't need that is why outfit is practically the same both days. velvet pants totally rock for winter!

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lot of fun in the snow. It's always fun to go some place new. Even if it's not the first time. Your outfit looks warm which is way more important then style when it's that much snow. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful while you are out there. I love all the beautiful snow and the scenic places throughout the city.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful but are you not cold. I move from a warmer to colder city in the United states. I have anxiety everytime it snows. I would leave just my eyes out. 😂
