Overnight at Helsinki
Arriving at Helsinki airport at 11pm, with our flight out to Lapland at 7:30 the next morning, we decided to just bunk down in the airport like a pair of hobo's. Armed with our sleeping bags and excited about the adventures ahead, we picked a couple of ...
Globally warmed Helsinki
After an unspectacular flight via Copenhaven, I arrived in Helsinki last night. Needless to say that Mari and I were happy to be back together. After we had waited a couple of minutes at the bus station, a nice finnish bus took us to the city centre ...

And so my tour has officially begun. Superfast VIII has sailed and as Helsinki and Finland grows smaller on the horizon, I look ahead to foreign shores, and the adventure that awaits. I want to thank the friendly mechs at Velotema for making this a ...
So this is Finland: Moomin, Santa and Sauna
So we're in Helsinki, Finland - our very last stop before we return to Norway. After the almost 8 hours flight from New York, without any sleep on board the plane, the jet lag caught up with us rather quickly upon arrival. We spent the remainder of the ...
Land Legs
The first day we got off the boat was July 17 when we were in Helsinki, Finland. I lived in Finland for a few months as an exchange student when I was 16, but didn't spend much time in Helsinki, so it was just as new for me as for Scott. We just walked ...
Almost ready to move again...
Hi everyone, This will probably be my last entry from here in Jyvaskyla. Kris and I are mentally preparing to leave this Saturday and begin our next two-week travel adventure. We know it¨s time to move on as we¨re settling in here too comfortably ...
The best word to describe the match? Terrifying!
... our walk of the southern coast. So we walked north this time instead of south, past what looked like the office centre of Helsinki and then past a few giant graveyards before getting to the coastal point we had wanted to start from. We stopped for lunch ...
Helsinki...the place to drink...

The Night Train
... woke up with a fairly stiff neck with about an hour of the journey left. After a 13 hour train journey we arrived in Helsinki - again - however for me this was the last stop. Having been teased every time that the train stopped for more than a minute ...
Back to Finland

Biegiem
Mamy 40 minut na przesiadkę do samolotu do Hong Kongu. Jest szansa, że nie zdążymy... a nasze bagaże prawie na pewno nie zdążą, dlatego mamy wszystko co najważniejsze w bagażu podręcznym. W ...

Helsinki
In Helsinki the sun shone and we took the cheap option of a day ticket on the tram to see the city. We visited the Olympic stadium, the Sibelius monument, an amazing rock church, and I sat on one of the many brass turtles on the ...
Matkakuumetta
Kirjaimellisesti. Eipäilen, että tiistaina ottamani jäykkäkouristusrokotus aiheutti vastareaktion, ja eilein nousi melkein 39 asteen kuume. Tänään olo on kyllä ollut jonkin verran parempi. Toivotaan että menee ohi yhtä nopeasti kuin ...
Birthday gift = Helsinki trip
What a great town! Cold but friendly. I got the trip as a birthday gift, one of the best - we got to know the town, went to a fortress island (watched there old ladies pick chives), lost a wallet and found it again, bought cool designy hats. ...

Strajkujemy
Widok śniegu zmroził mnie do kości. To jest sen. Tak jak był, gdy wyjeżdżałam do Azji, tak samo nie prawdopodobne jest, że to już koniec podróży. Mieliśmy w planach albo (ze względu na jet lag) ...
Cricket in Finland!!!
The following morning I was suppose to catch a ferry about 10 however the sea was too rough and I had to take another train at 12. I spent two hours in a coffee shop near Espanade Park and even manage to get a free cup of tea. The journey to Estonia took ...
