With our final day in the car, we continued back to Helsinki. Before leaving Vaasa, we drove over to an adjoining island where Tropiclandia (a water park) and Wasalandia (a scaled down Disneyland) are located.
We stopped off at Rauma on the west coast and walked around the old town which has 400 to 600 timber buildings that date from the 1600s. Many are now full of tourist souvenirs but regrettably our bags are fully laden.
Turku, Finland's second and oldest city was our next stop. We walked the waterfront, strolled the market and possibly set a record by visiting 6 churches in the one town. The castle was huge and took ages to walk around the many corridors and up and down the stairs. It was not nearly as impressive as many others that we have seen as the restoration was too "perfect".
Finally back to Helsinki and managed to find our hotel. The car is parked outside the nearby car rental outlet as we have to finalise this first thing in the morning before we head off to Tallinn.

Oooh, did you go to Wasalandia?
I asked John recently if he would take me to Disneyworld. He said no because he has already taken me there, and said I can't go to Disneyland either. I'm now asking for Disneyland in Paris or Tokyo. He can't use the same excuse but still hasn't said yes anyway.
PS I bet you could fit more in your pockets or mum's handbags. There is always room for buying more.
You could always post stuff back to yourselves! Or buy more bags. Or chuck out your dirty cloths.
