seren_ccdWell. First things first, anyone planning on going to Scandinavia, make sure you have more money than I do. Wow, things are expensive. Five quid for a pint of Carlsberg. Seriously.
Other than that, it is absolutely gorgeous. The Finnish and Swedish archipelago is the most incredible landscape I've ever seen. I want to line on one of the little islands with a lighthouse and fir trees. So, so beautiful. We swam, cycled, canoed. I'm almost tan! The amount of sun I got will last me for at least a good month.
These are some of the odd little things I noted down that happened:
1. On a bus in Finland, the driver was listening to Kraftwerk. It was awesome.
2. We watched Hair late one night in our hostel. Let the sun shine!!
3. I was lectured to by an old Swedish man about the treatment of Native Americans at the hands of the white men. That was a little weird.
The wedding we went to was so lovely. It was held in a tiny Swedish church with amazing paintings depicting Bible stories on the ceiling. We attempted to sing along in Swedish to one of the hymns.
I now have a stack of work on my desk and have the next story in my McCoy/Chapel series plotted out. I need another vacation!
