So today I was invited to join a group heading to the coast at Ruissalo. This is an island off the west of Turku, but closely connected to the land, so we just hopped on a bus from the Kauppatori and went to the other side of the island where there is a lovely bit of coast. I could imagine that in the summer this would be a very popular place to swim. Today, however, it was quite quiet and that made it even better.
We wondered around the beach for a little while before sitting on the dock. It was just so quiet. Just so calming and relaxing to look at the other islands and all the tree and nature, while watching the waves gently ripple. We sat here for quite a while. Long enough for a chap near-by to catch two fish.
After that, we wondered through the woods, only to head back towards a different shore of the island. We climbed over some rocks to find a secluded spot, where we just sat and watched the water again.
All in all we spent about 2 hours there, and this is all we did. But it was a really lovely afternoon. Think I will return again, when the leaves start to change colour, or when the spring arrives.
