I think this lighthouse just had a brilliant idea.

Bien le bonjour!

The 22th of August, we drove to Osmussaar. Thanks to the wind, the boat ride was unforgettable. Kirke and I, the closest to the bow of the boat, felt like being on a rollercoaster.

Once arriving on the island, we were driven by locals to our house, which also works as a small museum. The others (those coming from Tallinn) had already started cooking, it was ready soon after our arrival. We got to know each other (at this point you know the drill), and played some cards. 

Having only 2 days of work (Friday and Saturday), and not being sure about the weather, we set out to work earlier in the morning than usually, cutting down junipers and bushes, and burn them afterwards.

Because I'm happy !

After a hard day of work, we enjoyed a nice rest in the early evening, some of us going on a walk by the beautiful beach, despite the wind and rain. Many of us had to dry their clothes inside that night.

On Saturday, we once again started working early in the morning, cutting down many more trees and bushes. After some earned rest in the evening, we climbed the lighthouse, offering a gorgeous view of the island, before setting for a sauna.

Our neighbour drove us there, talking about the island's history; there is much to say about Osmussaar, I'll just point out that the Swedish name of the island translates to Odin's Grave. 

In front of the sauna was a small tub, which allowed a nice transition from the cold sea (around 15°) to the sauna (around 70-80°).

Draw me like one of your french girl

We left on Sunday after breakfast, some of us staying a few more hours. The boat ride back was less adventurous, though still as enjoyable, and we then drove back home (what a twist !)
