Day Two in Finland
I am using the girls coputer as I still need to get a converter so I can charge my own notebook computer, so I am trying to use a weird key board and everything is in Finnish!
I have to say that having full sleeper seats all the way from Sydney to Helsinki and then having to be jammed into a small a320 airbus with only one class configuration awas a total shock to the system. Sitting on the ailse I was constantly being banged by the trolley as it went up and down and by the end of the 45 minute flight from Helsinki to Oulu I was ready to slap the cabin crew member that was doing it!
But onto far more important things though!
Finland and in particular Oulu is as beautiful as I remember them itīs that time of year when the trees are an amazing vibrant mass of yellows, greens and oranges for as far as the eye can see. It is fantastic to se the girls for the first time in over five years and it feels a bit like it was yesterday the last time we saw them.
Their two new whippets are quite amazing and I have particuarly fallen in love with Jalo who I would love to take home and introduce to Lucy (I am sure they would get onlike a house on fire).
Hiski is so beautiful too but he is far more reserved and stately LOL.
This mornng we all even went to the gym - me for the first time in quite a while which was great for me.
Anyway off to go into the town center to meet up with Maarit and Jonna who I have not seen in ages either!
Pictures and more will come later when I am back on my own computer!
The picture is of Oulu Cathederal which I can see perfectly from the girls apartment!

Did you take that pic Drew?
The skyline is such a lush blue! It's intense (in a good way)!
Wow...I can relate to the whole sitting in the aisle and it feels like the cabin crew has it totally out for you and consistently manages to bump into you the whole flight...It's annoying!
Haha...Lucy's not a fan of other dogs is she? LOL
I wish I could go to the gym...I'm going tomorrow even though I shouldn't based on what happened last Monday!
Sounds like your trip is off to an awesome start...is this where you're going berry hunting?!
