Christmas time @ Laajavuori

Sometimes it's nice to take things easy and let other people take care of all the Christmas arrangements. Last Christmas we were relaxing in Jyväskylä, Laajavuori spa hotel for a few days. There was lots and lots of snow this time!

Wait, I think I saw an elf.. ;)

Hockey night in Jyväskylä



It was nice to visit Jyväskylä to see the local hockey team JYP facing off with Blues from Espoo. The better one won and went to the finals. :)

Jyväskylä's centre has a nice and simple "grid plan". The central promenade, Kauppakatu, was really something that Mäntsälä could learn from too.

Jyväskylä area










Admitted, for a moment I was thinking of a headline like "blood, sweat and tears" as a sort a reference to my earlier post.. But actually last week was quite nice. Sporty, vacation-like and.. simply nice.

Pictures here are from my Peurunka activities, then there is Hitonhauta also in Laukaa (10 km from Peurunka), Keski-Suomen Ilmailumuseo (Aviation Museum) in Tikkakoski, and Kallioplanetaario "3D movie theatre". Last one is through Peukkula's gates in Jyväskylä - it was already closed for this summer.
