Hello Helsinki

Im unexpectedly in Helsinki for an extended period .I should have returned to the UK 🇬🇧 on 8th September but the commitment I had for the air ambulance was cancelled, so flight changed and I am able to travel for longer and include Tallin and Stockholm.
As I had my luggage with Me and the next accommodation resisted giving early check in ,I spent most of the day near the free cups of tea .🤣in the airport hotel reception, planning future trips to India, ( oct )Costa Rica and South America (December to February )
Eventually arrived at my accommodation in a taxi ( a long journey! and a place Id never have found alone.!) The outside was seriously unwelcoming ....grill gates ,a key code ,concrete steps inside and out ,a tiny lift and lights on a corridor with no windows, that only go on when you trigger them in passing ....an unpleasant and unnerving experience, as it was an unfamiliar location, the same in Moss side was just normal and no problem!🤣🤣
Room is stark and I seriously considered bailing and going elsewhere...but it was Evening and I decided to make the best of it ..after all it was clean .
Best thing about the location is taxis outside .
Despite my reservations I did sleep wellRead more
