End of the road

Well today is the end and it SNOWED - well just a little. 


We caught a little ferry across to the fort and as we got off the boat - about 15mis from Helsinki it was sooooo cold and it started!
We went to the museum  walked around the island and then found a great brewery and had lunch and a beer.
It was a long day - late flights out are a bit of a pain . But we are now at Helsinki airport and enjoying a quiet glass of bubbles before boarding. Also using the internet.


Did I mention we went to see Circus Finlandia.  A good night out and amazing tricks if you are under 4. But we had a ball then went and had dinner.


We did a little summary of our trip and decided we did not want to come home. Apart from that we had a few really big  favourites. One being able to travel first with Pip  - she made a great travel buddy. Pip we loved having you with us. Must do it again. Also great having Phoebe with us in St Petersburg. We loved having you there Phoebe and feel very lucky to have two girls travel with us. We miss our boys and always love having them along - but its different with girls!


It seems ages since Italy but that was such a great start. Bertie was so lovely to Pip and I. we feel very lucky to be the only members of the family to see her soooo big.


Well signing off now - flight just called.


See you all soon
