Last Saturday (18.02) we had our third meeting. We went to … slide! Yes, yes, yes!
At the beginning, I thought it’s not going to be for me but after I slide once, I loved it so much. You can feel like a child again! We went by foot to Kauppi area with the family of Elisa, her husband and two small children. It was so nice to see the whole family together having fun in the snow. Even father was sliding downhill! After all, we had a break and grabbed a cup of warm chocolate!
Winter sports are so popular in Finland, especially when snow lasts so long here. Not like in Poland, snowy winter season it’s not even a month there, and every year is getting shorter because of the global warming. Here in Tampere, the area of Kauppi is well prepared for cross country skiing and the lake nearby for an ice-skating. The best thing is that you can do it for free there! It’s amazing. The only thing you need to have is your equipment. It’s really safe to ice-skate on the lakes of Finland, there is even snow removal path around the lake. It was so weird for me because I didn’t use to make any activities in the winter on the lakes. It’s so dangerous in my country because usually, ice is thin, not like here.
