At the beach!

Later that afternoon (after the lasagne and ice-cream lunch) we walked to the beach (about 5km from campus). We had planned to buy some Makkara (finnish type of sausage) to braai at the beach and watch the sunset.

We had been very lucky with warm sunny days and amazing sunsets here in Oulu this past week so we thought it would be nice to go to the beach and watch the sunset from there. Wolfi and Patrick had gone a few days ago and had witnessed an amazing sunset at the beach.From left: Patrick and Sarah, Marko (on the bike), Paul, Barbora, Wolfi and me (taking the photo)...
Wolfi, Patrick and Sarah with the map to make sure we were on the right track...Wolfi catching a lift on the bike... Arriving at the beach, rather windy, cold with dark rainclouds looking down at us...this time we were not that lucky with the weather and later on while we braaied the Makkara on the fire the rain started...the sun had tricked us with beautiful sunny weather the whole week and the day we decide to go to the beach, it decides to rain (some of the first rain drops in Oulu since we arrived). The beach...Frozen...

Hmmmm....Makkara!

Wolfi's amazing lasagne!

Yesterday afternoon for lunch a group of us met upstairs in Wolfi's flat for lasagne...YUM!
Everyone enjoying the delicious lasagne that Wolfi had prepared. After the lasagne we all still had an appetite for ice-cream so Wolfi quickly went by bike to the shops and came back with ice-cream, chocolate sauce and banana's...

And my own invention...marshmellow, chocolate sauce and banana surprise!!
