Straight out of the sauna

Just back from a weekend in Helsinki visiting friends. I last visited back in 2000 and, to be honest, didn't think much of the place (cold, rather boring). This time round I loved it... strange how our tastes change over time. What was then boring is now refreshing and relaxed - a great place to live I think, in a city but so close to the sea, forests and all the accompanying wildlife. And the saunas? Well let's just say that as soon as my plane home took off, I wanted to go back. Another day perhaps....
