So what else will I be doing...

  • seeing just short of 20hours daylight in Helsinki
  • visiting the fairytale castle Schloss Neuschwanstein
  • re-visiting the beautiful Alps
  • Beer beer and more beer in Munich
  • Avoiding anything to do with the Sound of Music in Austria
  • Lording it up in London
  • traveling with two companions not just one
  • Road tripping with Judo again in Europe
I also have a special side trip planned for a weekend when I'm in the USA. It's going to be a major highlight of this trip for me, but I can't say what it is just yet as one of my fellow travelers doesn't know about this. But you all would all understand why I'm looking forward to it.

I lived in Helsinki for 7 months. I recommend the following while you are there:

1. Take a sauna. The Finns are absolutely crazy about their saunas.
2. Go swimming in a lake. The country is peppered with them (perhaps combine it with sauna experience).
3. Pick berries in a forest.
4. Visit the design district. There seems to be lots of talented designers living in Finland doing all sorts of stuff from fabrics to chairs.
5. Go dancing at DTM (Don't tell Mamma).

Schloss Neuschwanstein is totally nuts! I loved it.
tick tick... not much time before you need to start folding your smalls in prep for your trip!

Friends of mine visited Finland earlier this year and they rave about it.
