Berlin By Bike

One of Berlins mighty bikes

We arrived in Berlin unscathed, delivered by our random ride share driver to our next temporary home, another good friend of Sophs (and another internationally filled house of fun!).  Ride sharing is definately the way to get around Europe, so much faster and cheaper than the trains!

After a night of meet and greets we were entrusted with two trusty bikes that would guide us around the city for the next 2 days!

A Fleeting Swedish Visit

 

So the last post was actually a bit delayed, and we've already been to Sweden and are now sitting in a very cold and wet Germany with some time up our sleeves before jumping in a car with a guy we don't know and have never met before (Its a ride share program, and he's hopefully taking us to Berlin!).  But back to Sweden....

Finnished with Finland!

Haha, puns aside its been an amazing couple of weeks in Finland.  We've felt right at home with the Morgensterns and it actually feels like we've been here a whole lot longer!  You've already read some of what we've been up to, so here's some photo's to add to the story.  We're off to Sweden tomorrow for a couple of dayz before reaching Germany so good bye blueberries, we'll miss you!

Finlands largest lake... in the middle of the night.

The land of the midnight sun, saunas and berries (Finland)

5 litres of blueberries... Yum!

Walking into Helsinki is like stepping into a fairytail. On every corner there is a castle like building, with turrets as balconies and the city is surrounded by water. The people are georgously friendly. The general vibe of the city is long and lazy, it smells of an endless summer day. Helsinki is a great place to roll into for two souls who have just spent 3 days traveling.

Disappointment and the Snoring Man!

Disappointment... Long haul flights are uncomfortable, there's no getting away from it.  Squashed up in your little section of plane for hours on end, the only time to get up is to move to the even more squashy toilet, and that's not exactly a positive move!  But i remember one positive from previous flights that is guaranteed to make you feel just a little better... the steaming hot face towels that get offered around... usually.  But not this time.  That warm refreshing feeling that brings you back to life sadly didn't eventuate...
