On the 7th of September, 2006 - I arrived back in Finland!! I hadn't told anyone in Finland that I was returning, and so when I jumped off the bus near my house I was quite excited to walk in and surprise my parents. However...as I walked toward my street, I saw my dad's car turn into the main road. After checking it really WAS his car, I started waving my arms - turns out both my parents were on their way to town. So I jumped into the car. Not exactly the surprise I was expecting, but I'm sure they were pleased (and shocked) to see me home. Alive and well. So now my life in Finland begins.

Couldn't quite follow my original plan. The night cruise to Helsinki was sold out, so we took the day cruise to Turku (the former capital of Finland). So we had a (very) early start to the day. Much cheaper, but we had to pay for an extra night at a hotel. Cruise arrived 8 p.m., so we decided to spend the night here and take the train to Helsinki in the morning (2 hrs).

It was an interesting cruise. Typical cruise ship, but including two car decks, lots ... read more

Hello all you adorable blog readers. Thanks so much for all the comments and updates about our beloved pooches. I knew they were the best but its great to hear it from others! Adam and Elaine, you must have been yelling at each other or dancing to have fooled the girls into thinking that you were us, good work! Thanks so much for the offers for money you silly Eco bitches! I love you guys, but honestly, don't worry about us, were doing ok. So, we spent the last 4 days in Helsinki in a lovely little cabin just outside the city. Finland is everything we'd hoped for and more. The city isn't as impressive as Stockholm or Bergen, but the people here are beyond fabulous! Everyone looks like us! There are even middle aged men ... read more
