Tallinn, the sun in Helsinki and some Ice Skating...

Finally, after a quite "busy" weekend, I find some time to drop some lines again. I spent the weekend with some colleagues in Tallinn and I just love this city. It offers everything you need - life works like in Scandinavian cities but there is still a kind of the influence of eastern Europe concerning the architecture and last but not least the prices ;-). Unfortunately I don't have a single picture of Tallinn, the weather was terrible and I haven't got the indoor pictures (mainly at night) yet.

Yesterday, Sunday, the weather in Helsinki seemed to be nice for the first time. Sure, I could see the sun once before but on our yesterday's way to the icering I was missing my sunglasses for the first time, I left them in the flat. It wasn't that big problem though (we left around 4pm so you can imagine for how long we could see the sun) but me without sunglasses in sunny weather - that's nearly impossible.

Ice-Skating then was a funny experience, especially seeing all the beginners fighting against the ice, the skates and themselves. Also I had problems, Finns seem to have pretty small feet. Size 46 was much too small. But after some tries also I could try iceskating for the first time (since 1995 I guess) and also playing Icehockey. Don't worry, I still have all my teeth (and the others too, at least - if they lost one - it wasn't me!).
