The front of the reception. This is where the tourists came for decades. The restaurant. And it seems like some renovations indeed had started here. The kitchen. There are several things stored here, which shouldn’t be here. It was a surprisingly dark place. The main entrance. And another mirror selfie. I am notorius for wearingContinue reading “The Disco Days Are Over Part II”

The Disco Days Are Over Part I
The trespassing forbidden sign is in Russian, so you probably already guess, that I’m in another location, which I found thanks to the article I mentioned in the previous post. This time it’s a holiday village founded in 1967 by a local entrepreneur. In its heyday there were up to 70 000 visitors a year,Continue reading “The Disco Days Are Over Part I”
I Might Have Been Mistaken Part V
Another old fashioned sofa, but this time on a turquoise plastic floor in front of a brick wall. This is something different. Another room with newly folded laundry. And the oh so familiar hexagonal tiles. Two washing machines. This clearly was, where the laundry of this holiday village was done. A windowless room, where evenContinue reading “I Might Have Been Mistaken Part V”
I Might Have Been Mistaken Part IV
And so I am gathering more speed from downstairs. I believe, that this definitely was the reception desk, as those hooks have stored room keys. There have been surprisingly many of them. There was a second stairway. And this, I believe, is in its original condition. I wonder, why the light upstairs is so peachy.Continue reading “I Might Have Been Mistaken Part IV”
I Might Have Been Mistaken Part III
This one continues my tradition of starting posts with a corridor photo. I wonder, who made those paintings. The back of the building was more of a maze with smaller rooms. Nice pink walls, old sofas and toys. I wonder, when those Lego things have been built. This room again looks more and more likeContinue reading “I Might Have Been Mistaken Part III”
I Might Have Been Mistaken Part I
The midsummer was over, and I returned my date back to the town where she lived. We were home very late in the night, and she had to leave early for work. She allowed me to sleep as long as I needed at her place, though. That morning I had a late breakfast at aContinue reading “I Might Have Been Mistaken Part I”
A Room For One, Please Part II
And so I am inside. Again it looks like somebody has started renovations. Or then it looks like leaking pipes. I would probably go for the leaking pipes after seeing this. This area looks like a storage for furniture. And apart from the mattresses and TV the furniture seems original. The rooms have names. ThisContinue reading “A Room For One, Please Part II”
No Hope Of Catching A Train
Welcome to yet another small, rural Finnish village with a railway station. There are dozens if not hundreds of them. Trains haven’t stopped here since 1988, when large scale local traffic ended in most parts of Finland apart from some of the busiest connections down south. The thing that puzzles me is the air-source heatContinue reading “No Hope Of Catching A Train”
Gone Camping Again Part I
As the hospital was no more, I was pretty much out of locations. Yet I had promised to take my friend, who is around 12 years my junior for and adventure. And that’s why I dug an old one from my dusty archives. Those, who have been following my blog for long enough, have alreadyContinue reading “Gone Camping Again Part I”
I Would Like A Ticket Out Of Here Part II
This could as well be renamed the house of wrecked ovens. Even the one in the pink room had been smashed. There were so many rooms, that I think that in addition to the postal room, office room and waiting room there might have been an apartment in here. The floor was interesting. I couldn’tContinue reading “I Would Like A Ticket Out Of Here Part II”
