Wonderful flight. As it was getting dark flying over the many little islands on the Finnish coast I wrote: ' like a million shards of black glass scattered over a darkened grey mirror'
We flew into Helsinki at 1145pm and watched the sun set and at 300mph it sets quickly. Took me an hour to get me baggage, board the Finnair bus and get off at 'Oopera' (opera house) and walk to the hostel. By the time I was putting me bags in the room it was getting light again.
The hostel is in the olympic stadium built in 1952 ( yeah, so its getting a major renovation and perhaps I should as well, we are the same age) and famous for Pavlo Nurmi who was a Finnish gold medallist then.
