Entry one: Denmark , Sweden and Finland
well, we are well and truly on our way. It has been almost a week and we are well and truly in the swing of things now. Denmark, SWeden and Helsinki have been lovely. All 3 cities are quite small so we got a good 'feel' for them in the short time we have been there.
There isn't really much to report at the moment. Sweden's Gammal Stan (the old towm) was incredibly beautiful and Helsinki is an impressive mix of architecture of several periods, ranging from grand building from the days of Russian rule to a strip of residential art nevou ( Icannot spell) buildings. I am suprised at how warm it is right now and can't wear my coat as it is way too warm for the current climate.
We have done a alot of travelling over the last few days and it has confirmed the benefits of travelling home in this manner. The train from Denmark to Sweden was amazing. The lanscape was breathtakingly beautiful. It was so flat, green and picturesque with these perfectly still lakes. Our train was a tilting train, so at moments it felt like you were about to fall right in. The ferry to Helsinki was also awesome. We had to navigate the swedish archipeleo and this massive ferry just skimmed past these islands at night. It was really beautiful to watch.
anyway I have run out of time.
