A 10 am take off to Helsinki this morning.
After one stop, we arrived at two pm. Roberta, Brad and I then spent most of the day looking for a bank to accept our ANZ cards, but to no avail (only to find out later a problem with ANZ’s system back in Australia).
We did however manage to see Helsinki’s Cathedral and Senate Square. Also did a bit of shopping for supplies to take into Russia.

On our way to the motel (somehow our camp site had been double booked) we stopped at the Rock Church, which is a church built into the ground and surrounded by rocks. A bizarre design, but it made for a beautiful church, as the roof was made of glass and, therefore, lit the church with natural light.
The motel was 20 minutes out of town and was luxurious compared to all previous accommodations. Here we met our new tour manager, Gavin, and bus driver, Mammal, before our group and some new people (who were only doing the Russian leg) went to Planet Hollywood for dinner. This was a good night out for us, as we said goodbye to 16 people who weren’t coming to Russia and greet the new people.

We came home on the late bus and danced all the way home.
The night finished off in Kerry and Greg’s room for a couple of drinks.
