Camp pleasure

For obvious reasons, this travel blog has been very quiet lately. I decided to fight boredom by going back to my early days as a traveler. Since I was totally broke back then, I spent a lot of time in various camping sites in Scandinavia and the UK.

Strangely enough, my heimat in Eastern Helsinki (the upper side of the attached picture) is just across the bay from a wonderful camping site, Rastila Camping. It is a five-star site with all the amenities you can think of, a great restaurant, a beach, and five fabulous saunas that you can rent even if you’re not staying at the site.

For anyone interested in city life, there is a also a metro stop that takes you to central Helsinki in about 10 minutes. Very fond memories from Bredäng Camping Stockholm sprang to mind.
