Yesterday we went to Helsinki it was great fun and we even swam in an Olympic pool. We drove to our local train station and arrived at Helsinki at about 9:30, got on the city bikes and rode over to a coffee shop by the orthodox church. Two small cappuccinos and a hot chocolate for £11! We then rode over to the Lutheran Church had a photo and rode over to a market where we had lunch.We all ended up having Korean food! Next we cycled to the 1952 Olympic Park where we swam in the OUTDOOR pool! Although it was heated getting out wasn't pleasant in fact was unpleasant enough for me to have a naked sauna! When we went in the man by the water bucket began throwing water on this resulted in about a third of the people in the sauna having to leave because of the heat. Dad thinks it was because we were English and he wanted to see if we could take the heat! However eventually I had to get out because of how hot it got in there. Finally we rode back over to where we had the drinks at the start of the day and had a drink before heading back here.
PS It was a triathlon as we cycled around, swam in the Olympic pool and walked about 4k round and about!

Hello again to you too Euan, I've missed reading your amusing and interesting account of another rather energetic but fun holiday for the last few days. Your blogs are like buses you wait what seems like ages and three come along together. Great to have you back! Love the photos, you are all looking very well and happy (as grandpa would say that's the main thing) We think you should get a gold medal for keeping us so well informed. Enjoy the rest of your holiday, not sure how much longer you have or if you will be in touch again but will look out for you just in case Love to all, grandma& grandpa xxxx
