Tammivalkama Turku

... Finally Tim just took her dish away, and Margaret looked more than a little sad to see the end of her apple crumble and custard disappear into the kitchen without her. Jill swung by to say hello before disappearing for the evening - she seems a little frustrated not to be playing, but happy that the team have got to the quarters. Kaz came over and had a little chat with us, telling us she was exhausted after the first 10 minutes of the game, but was proud of ...

Caught the train from Helsinki to Turku which only took about two hours. They have very nice trains. Easy city to navigate. I'm going to check out the harbour and book a spot on one of the ferries heading for ALands. Unfortunately I can't go today because the ferries only depart at 0815 and 2015. So I'm staying in Turku today which is fine because I forgot that I wanted to see the castle. Now I'm just waiting for the hostel to open so I can drop my bag off. It's getting lighter every day.

... I enjoy the turn of the century town. Pretty place.

Back in Turku for the afternoon, I hit some interesting "museums". First was the Luoinstarmaki Handicrafts Museum which gets the international award for worst name. It is actually an excellent collection of buildings starting several hundred years ago, decorated in their respective timeframes and with a few people dressed in period costumes providing explanations.

Second, Alboa ...

... of the reparation to Russia. Fortunately we'd photographed a couple of the huge ships moored outside the museum before we went inside. At the end, all we wanted to do was to get on a bus & head back into the centre of town. It was the same driver we'd had on the way out. We hobbled off the bus at the market square & went looking to see if there was a bus that would take us a few blocks up hill to the art museum we had decided was worth the hike to get there. It ...

... in the evenings when the president is not in residence, but we didn't have time to wait for that. We walked down from the hill with the convent church & proceeded through the town. Only a couple of shops were open, and the one we went into was full of Disney as well as Muumin characters & souvenirs & the shelves and passages were so crowded I was afraid we'd bump something, so it was somewhat of a relief to get out of there. This was our first experience of ...

I found Travel Pod after my trip to Northern Europe, but I thought I would just write here so that people know they can ask me if they have any questions about Finland. I studied in Turku Finland for a semester at Abo Akademi University. I lived 4km from the school and town, and the public transportation is what I used, it was not bad at all. I also had a few travels from Finland, that I will post in other blogs. Have fun on your travels and be sure to check in!

... It was a great price and very clean, it was nicer than ome of the hotels that we has stayed in. We all went out to eat at an Italian restaurant and enjoyed our pizza, I actually had pasta since I was trying to conserve on money. It was another good time to catch up, talk and relax over some beer and food. We drove 400 yards back to the hostel and had a chance to check email, I got to talk to Michelle while she was at work, we went to bed around 1 a.m.
