#naantali

My parents and I went on a camping trip through Finland around Midsummer-weekend and because I’m a huge Moomin-fan and my mum also likes the Moomins quite a lot, we decided to spend a day at Moominworld in Nådendal. We weren’t exactly the target demographic for this place as we were three adults, but we still had a great time.

It was amazing seeing Moominhouse with my own eyes and going inside. Both the building and its inhabitants are very similar to the home I’ve dreamed about for so long and then finally found last year! A lot of nature from before the park was built is preserved and there were wooden pathways going through the forest to different locations (YAY for both accessibility and preserving nature). One of my favourites were the little meadow with hammocks and egg chairs! We also made the obligatory stop at the gift shop and I sent a Moomin-postcard to my dear friend!

I took pictures with both Snufkin and Mrs. Fillyjonk - two characters who mean a lot to me for different reasons. But I also said a quick hi or waved to a lot of the other characters!

I took some more pictures, but this is the only one I feel comfortable sharing here.

The room fills with smoke and thunder erupts loudly with flashing lightning as the barometer moves to the highest metric.

there is also a nice cool mist that gets sprayed which felt like a nice break from the hot finnish sun.
