Day four

So last night I was WAY too tired to be bothered write anything, I just wanted to sleep. I will write it as if I wrote it last night. So today I woke up with the kids, they slept until 7:30 today. We painted, coloured and had breakfast. When Nina took over, I got my bags ready and headed across the lake and into town. I ended up getting a travel card which is like a bus pass for the bus, metro and trams. When I got the travel card, I looked at what I had planned and decided to go to Suomenlinna. It’s a fortress island off the coast of Helsinki. It was so neat to walk around and see all the cannons and the forts yet people still live there today. I took TONS of pictures. I’m going to have to load these on like FLICKR because if I uploaded every picture on FB I will have like 15 albums. I walked around the entire island; it only took about two hours. When I was finished there, I headed back, I was so tired and exhausted, and hot when I got back it was horrible. I got lots of sun but messed up my tan lines :(. When I got back to the island, we all went swimming in the sea. I have now swum in another sea, the North Sea!! It was unbelievably refreshing. I know it’s not much of an update, but I do this more for myself so I can keep track of what I did while I am here.
