| Second day in Helsinki. Today we (olly, nicko and I) went on a cruise around the archipelago and looked at the maritime fortress which was built on 6 islands, and a whole lot of other cool stuff. We had a look around the market which is next to the dock, and took some photos of the massive cathedrals and this other impressive building which had huge columns, but I don't know what it was because I can't speak finnish. Then we went to the National Museum which has a statue of a bear out the front. It was pretty cool and the celing in the atrium was fairly amazing. We had lunch at a restaurant/bar called "virgin" which I have suspicions is a strip club at night but it seemed pretty respectable when we ate there, hehe.
Found a cheaper supermarket today...yesterday we paid about 8 aussie bucks for a packet of cheerios but our tea and snacks all up only cost about 25 bucks today and we found ice-creams for 0.39 euro. Guess it was a finnish equivalent of Aldi.
People drive on the wrong side of the road here! Hehe. The tram and bus system is awesome though.
This run was done around a park north of where we are staying, at the Helsinki 1952 olympic stadim. There is a hostel in there now. It would be a good area for a sprint, we reckon. Turned out to be pretty hilly and also got slightly lost but it was good fun. Saw a massive theme park which we just might visit tomorrow before we head off to the Forssa games.

| Madcap Melville, at Melville Caves. Wasn't thinking or planning right today, also got frustrated with the thickness. Guess I was just a bit tired and excited about jetting off! |

| First day at Sorlandsgaloppen (was actually day 2 but we missed day 1). Very rainy, pretty cold, very muddy. Today was a mass start and it included a butterfly loop. Was good fun! Not many in my age group...just 7 including Belinda and I. They had a sort of Tour de France system where there was a shirt for the overall leader and a shirt for the person with the most points. You earned points by being the fastest in certain parts of the course. Did okay but had a very stupid route choice to number 10. There were lots of track options today! |

| Winter Classic Day 2 at Melville Caves.
Brilliant run actually. Hesitant on a few, including number 2 where I was a bit to the left on the wrong bare rock. Lost about a minute and a half on 9 where I was looking for the control too early. Had trouble bashing through the green, but then so did everyone. Pretty good really. |
