My husband and I were invited to go on a weekend get away with his brother and wife. The weekend began with a morning cruise from Turku to Mariehamn. We arrive at roughly 1pm and took a taxi to the resort. Villa Christina a two bedroom, two bathroom mökki of sorts was what we rented for one night. In the sort amount of daylight we passed the time enjoying the oceanside view. Once it got dark we cooked a nice dinner and sat in the hot tub and sauna. It was a great adults only weekend and refreshing vacation to get us through the darkness of the November fall days.
