Trip to Kuusamo

On Friday we had to leave our huts very early in the morning to go on a rafting trip in Kuusamo.
We had to take waterproof clothes and life-jacket and then we seperated into 3 groups. For each group there was one boat and one leader.
We went through 7 rapids with different difficult-levels. In the end we all got very wet, but we arrived safely back to the land and we had a lot of fun together.

Then we went to Ruka, where we seperated again into two groups. The first group went to have lunch and the others started with doing the sled track. We went up to the mountain with a lift and then down again - alone or together with another person - with the sled.

 

Then we changed the groups and everybody had time to go to the souvenir shops or to take an ice cream.
After that we went with the bus to the shop of Kuusamo. We had some time to look around and to buy our secret friend presents. In the evening we came back to Jatkonsalmi, where we had dinner and the Polish evening. All in all it was a nice and exciting trip.
