HELSINKI

Hurrah, BA manged a faultless service at Heathrow with no fuss about the bike. Pity about the 3 hour flight delay! After reassembling the bike at the airport it was 11pm before I got to the hostel in the centre of Helsinki.  It didn't matter though as it was light until after midnight. I shared the room with Julianna from Sao Paulo (sorry if I have not remembered your name right). We chatted until 1.30 am about how our societies have much more in common than differences. Julianna then went out into the night life of Helsinki - the energy of the young!
