Finland red, Egypt white



Belatedly, I congratulate all the beauties with International Women's Day! Here in Russia, we had three free days :) Fortunately we didn't sit at home and went to my favorite fairy Finland in Mikkeli. It is a small town near the gorgeous lake Saimaa. Mikkeli is all related to the life and activities of Gustaf Mannerheim. If you are interested in this great man, you definitely need to get here. In addition, the town has a stunning cathedral, built in the early 20th century in Neo-Gothic style. It's impressive and gloomy building. Although it may seemed to me, because the weather was harsh and dark. But there is a tempting reason to visit Mikkeli - winery "Ollinmaki"! They make wine and cider from berries growing nearby: currant, blackberry, rowan, apples. But for me the number 1 is  cranberry wine! Delicious! Of course I brought  a couple of clinking bottles ;) On the night we stayed in a wonderful spa hotel  "Anttolahnovi". It is located right on the shore of lake Saimaa and built from eco-friendly materials, without harm to the environment, what I appreciate very high. The hotel is very cozy and the huge plus is windows facing the forest and lake ^^. Everything is there for relaxation of body and soul.
