Tallinn wore us out with its huge array of history and souvenir shops at every corner. The next day we headed West and met up with an English family doing a year long meandering car trip to Australia. Its always fun to say ‘morning’ to people you hear speaking English as there are not many of us out here. We have seen yet more manor houses and castles.

We spent 6 days in the end in Vuolenkoski looked after very well by David and Kirsti. David makes a great tour guide and we saw loads of towers, more trees and lakes and churches. We also did a boat trip to Heinola that was very relaxing. Also our knowledge of the Finnish language improved dramatically – not that it took much.
