Two friends took a self-drive road trip across Finland in September.

They drove from Helsinki to Lake Saimaa in the lake district.

They wanted to see the beautiful autumn colours on the trees.

But most of the trees were still green.

It was too early for the full autumn colours.

Only the tips of some leaves were a little brown.

A waitress at their first hotel said, "You are too early, but you might get some sun tomorrow."

The friends stayed in cosy cabins by the lakes.

One big surprise was the weather.

One afternoon had blue skies and warm sunshine.
