Hola! Viime perjantaina päätimme suunnata Tampereen vilinästä ja hälinästä mökille Ähtäriin. Kaikki tarvittava omaisuus mahtui kummallakin yhteen reppuun ja lisäksi otettiin mukaan pullo valkoviiniä (mutta siitä lisää myöhemmin) sekä muutamia ruokatarpeita kylmäkassiin. Näine vähäisine tavaroinemme odottelimme tihkusateessa junaa, joka oli myöhässä (damn you VR). Junan saapuessa laiturilla oli ihan muutama muukin, joka halusi matkata samaan suuntaan, joten pieneen taajamajunaan olikin yhtäkkiä hirveä tunku ja hyvä, että saatiin istumapaikat. Selkä menosuuntaan päin...
Matkan aikana alkoi onneksi paistaa aurinko, mitä enemmän kohti Etelä-Pohjanmaata päästiin. Kulutettiin aikaamme junassa katsomalla Viaplaysta Mulan 2 ja Viidakkokirja, joka tosin tökki ikävästi korvessa huonon netin takia. Ei ole mitään Disney-leffoja parempaa! Junaa vaihdettiin Haapamäellä ja pian oltiinkin Ähtärin rautatieasemalla. Siellä meitä odotti meidän mummu, joka vei meidät ruokakauppaan ja mökille.
Hola! Last Friday we decided to run from all the noises and stress of living in a tiny Finnish city and head to our cabin in Ähtäri (there's a lovely zoo there too). We both had our small backbags with us and all our belongings fit in them just perfectly. Rain was pit-pattering as we were waiting for our train, which was late (damn you VR). When it finally arrived, there were surprisingly a few other people besides us who wanted to get on the same train. This meant that once the doors opened, everyone crowded the entrance and we were lucky to get seats! Although our backs faced the wrong direction... that was totally my fault because I had no idea which way the train would start moving.
Luckily the sun started shining as we got closer to Etelä-Pohjanmaa. We killed time watching Mulan 2 and the Jungle Book from Viaplay (but it was burdensome because of the horrible internet connection). We just love old Disney movies! We switched trains in Haapamäki and soon we were already in Ähtäri, where our grandmother was waiting for us. She took us to the store and the to our destination: THE CABIN!

Meidän mökin omistaa mun äidin veljet eli Janinan isä ja meidän eno. Siellä on sähköt, mutta sinne ei kulje vesi. Ei, siellä ei ole sisävessaa, vaan maailman pelottavin huussi, jonne ei uskalla pimeällä mennä yksin. Ei, siellä ei ole wifiä. Siellä ei ole mitään. Ja ensimmäisenä täytyy sytyttää takkaan tuli, koska siellä on aivan pirun kylmä.
Our cabin is owned by my mother's brothers, Janina's dad and our uncle. There's electricity, but no running water. No, there's no toilet inside the cabin, only a shack outside in the woods where you don't have the guts to go alone in the dark. No, there's no wifi. There's nothing there. You have to live like people did in the medieval times. And first and furthermost, you have to make a fire because it's bloody cold in there.

On riemun asia onnistua puusaunan lämmittämisessä!

Sunnuntaiaamuna, kun kävin uimassa niin järvellä oli ihanasti sumua! Kaikki oli aivan harmaata ja tuntui siltä, että syksy on nyt tullut. (Vesi oli kylmää!)
On Sunday morning when I went for a swim, the whole surface of the lake was beautifully coated with fog! Everything was gray and it felt, for the first time, that Autumn had finally arrived. (The water was bloody cold!!!)
Rakkaudella,
Ella
