The temporature was glose to zero, so we could stay outside around two hours, then it started to get too cold and we went inside. Making a fire into the fireplace was the first thing i did when we arrived to the cottage, so after a couple of hours the cottage was warm enough.
We had only 11 liters of water and another 2 for drinking. The ice was still quite thick, so we didint start to make a hole. We just cathered some snow and melted it at the Sauna, to have something to throw to the rocks. 11 liters was enoug from 3 people to wash themselves. Snow allso kept our drinks cold, Tervasnapsi, which is liquor made out of tar, is the best Sauna drink.
After 2 hours of Sauna, the sun started to set and around 8 p.m it was pitch black. We packed our packs in to the car and cleaned the cottage whit just one lamp. Only thing that we lost, was one sock. More damage was done when we started driving the car. Ther is a litle hill, before the bigger rode when leaving our cottage. Ofcourse that snowy little hill was too much to our little red car, we got stuck. And not just a little stuck, but s-t-u-c-k. It took 45 minits and big pile of braches from evergreen tree. Luckily I was the one driving the car and Johanna and Helena bushed, sometimes it good to be weak.
