My sister had informed me that she and my brother in law had plans of their own for the weekend, so I would need to organize my own ride if I arrived on Saturday. My sister informed me this about eight o'clock in the evening. Thus I had really no time to plan or organize my next day. Had she informed me earlier, say in the morning, I would have been able to opt to stay at my brother's place.
So in the Saturday morning after going to Prisma's restaurant to have some breakfast (well I took only hot water and milk for the kids as I had quick porridge with me) my mother suggested that I would come with her to Kaukonen. This was what I least wanted, but as I am unable to say no to my mother, I said yes. So instead of going back to the train station, we all went to Kaukonen. It took us about 1,5 hours to drive from Rovaniemi to Kaukonen.
My nephew was not that pleased with me coming along as he had been promised that I would continue elsewhere and he would be traveling with his sister and granny. No temper tantrums at all, just vocal displeasement. I started to feel anxious the closer the place we arrived. I had not visited her before, nor had I planned to do so. Now I have been to Kaukonen before, one time I was doing some babysitting there. Anyway, I was promised earlier that if I happened to come I could be at peace with no babysitting what so ever.
During the weekend spent at Kaukonen I baked, helped with computers, cooked and babysat. My niece and nephew enjoyed the stay, although there were quite a lot of mosquitos there. I was also the one that helped with the mosquito bites... Anyway, the kids enjoyed their time there and were happy to give me a ride to Kolari on Sunday. From Kolari I jumped on a train and traveled to Tornio (this time my sister was available to pick me up, although I could have walked home from the station.) We were there (in Kolari) quite early and went to Sweden to buy groceries. Still having more than an hour before my train left, granny and the kids decided to head home as it was quite a warm day.
There ended my second summer trip.
