A Helsinking Feeling

A witty title for if our boat had not stood up to the thunderous waves crashing at it's sides. Unfortunately, or fortunately if we're being sensible, the sea was calm and our boat reached the island of Semolina without incident. The sun was shining and we have even dipped our feet in the sea (it was too cold to follow them in).

We haven't partaken in any local cuisine yet, but they obviously love a bit of healthy snacking here, I've never seen so many Piia pods, they are for sale on every corner.

We're back off into the sunshine now, an early morning train to St Petersburg tomorrow! We're not talking to each other for the rest of the day to make sure we don't waste all our conversation topics before the 7 hour journey ;o)

Speak soon, Glen

(I forgot to bring the cable for the camera so you will have to wait a few days for photos, doh!)

  1. Things to remember to do in Russia:

    1.Bring up the fall of communism and the Soviet Union at every oportunity. Don't worry they'll love the banter.
    2.(to be done after 1.) Chant "Stalin was a whore" in between beatings from the KGB
    3.In moments of miss communication add "...ski" on the end of every word. E.G. "pleaseski stopski forcingski meski vodkaski"
    4.Have a great time!!!!
