The Perfect Day, Part II

We rented 2 bikes at Bjarne's in Rosala and biked 8km to Hittis, the next village over. We cruised through the forest, over a bridge and into town thirsty and hoping for a little break. Sadly, the store we were so hoping would sell us vegetables had closed early for Saturday. A brief ride down the road and we found Cafe Kardemumma, and left some money for a Finnish lemon soda. It was an adorable cafe, and it seemed like they were having a grand old time in the backyard area with their small children.



We sucked down our soda in the Hittis Church yard and then walked around for a look. It's a beautiful church built in the 1700's, and like most churches on the coast, its beautiful and antique but still used, Lutheran, and has ships flying thorough the isles.


After getting a good look we headed back to Rosala to retrieve the boat and head home. Exhausted, I made Cora drive the boat back and we came home for a traditional Finnish meal of hamburgers, baked frozen french fries, and frozen green peas.
