SATURDAY 8.10.-16

Saturday was our last day in Warsaw. We didn't have any plans, so we did whatever we wanted to. Some of us went to the shopping center and the rest of us stayed at home. This was our last chance to be with our host family.

Because Saturday was our last day, we had to pack our things and get ready for the airport. We had to be at the airport at 18:00. Our flight left about 20:25 (polish time) and landed at 23:05 (finnish time).

Our Helsinki-Karstula journey had begun. At midnight we ate at Mcdonald's in Vantaa and then we were ready to go home.

We were at Karstula about 4-5 at morning. And finally we could go to our own bed and own home.
All of us were so tired and being back to Finland was a great feeling. We'll miss some people in Poland but it's so nice to be in Finland again.
