Europe April 2011 - Helsinki

Anyone for a swim
Anyone for a ride?
 That is ICE and it is in the main harbour  and just thought I would publish it to show everyone how cold it was ...  so.......... .We made it !!! what a lot of work but the 4 of us set out on the April Fools day 2011 for the 'ride of a lifetime' and getting 'the body we deserve'. Good god thought I was on one of those exercise  machines which I need to be on, since returning.
Our other great event of each day was 'Food ' apart from getting from A-B, the next biggest concern was finding where to eat. What with tastes, diet, likes and dislikes if was fun and truly I don't think we were ever disappointed. Sometimes we had ploughman's tea sourced from the local supermarket and eaten in our Flash Packer hostel and in Scandanavia there was a distinct lack of booze due to the distinct lack of desire to pay HIGH prices in government run bottle shops
