Hi
Have just spotted that the tourist centre here as free internet so I thought id put in my fist entry from Finland, although the comp doesnt have USB so will have to add photos another time.
Flight and transfer were fine, apart from having my name called out across the whole of stansted airport. I thought 8.55 ment boarding not take off. Woops! Other than that my ability to carry my pack was tested by a 45 min walk around Helsinki looking for a hostel, which I have now settled into. Spent the rest of the afternoon walking round the harbour market and trying Finish snack food (most of which seems to consist of salted fish and rye bread)
Today I had to sort a new battery for my camera but after that I visted Helsinki Cathedral and the "Rock Church" both of which were quality. pics to follow. VeryCatholic Authodox, almost Russian.
Have a city tour booked for tomorrow and may go and see Helsinki Zoo.

Good to hear from you. Glad you had a good journey and are enjoying Helsinki. When do you leave for St Petersburg? What happened to your camera battery? Dad and I are going back to London tomorrow for a wedding. Missed the Post Office AGAIN so still do not have the mystery letters, but I think have found another way to get them!! Will catch up with you later in the week hopefully.
