Day 22: Week 4: Sunday 28th. May 2006: Clear and sunny - lovely: Bussed to Oulu and staying in a self contained (great kitchen) cabin in the delightful camping ground at Nallikari. We look forward to doing our own cooking again and having a decent meal, though we only had a snack tonight. We are a stone's throw from the water (Bothia Sea) and beach. Bus stop at the end of driveway takes us into town. Fantastic storm tonight, thunder and lightning.

Day 23: 29th. May 2006: Raining: Into town by bus and had a walk around. Very pretty, interesting place with many beautiful buildings, parks and gardens. Home for lunch then a walk into town in the pouring rain across a long bridge, but I was determined to take some video here. so we did, and then an amble around all the little lakes and islands where there are bridges everywhere.
The umbrellas we bought in Japan have been used nearly every day. They are of clear plastic, so can come right down low over us and we can still see where we are going. If you think we are seeing a lot in a short space of time - you are right. For here it is daylight for almost 24 hours a day and we only go to bed because we are tired.
