Beckum meets Savonlinna

After a long journy of 12 hours we reached Savonlinna by car. We hadn´t any problems to cross the border, we worried because some of our students have problems with their papers. But all works so we are happy to be here.

Savonlinna is a nice town with nice people and we will have many activities in the next days.

We have done a little walk through the school, so we have an overview of the buildings.
Tomorrw we will start working in the wood-worksho, today we will visit the big castle of the town.
We are looking forward for the next days.

First day in Finland

My first impressions of Finland are:
many trees, few people and the sun goes down soon.

But we feel at ease with our hosts.
