All settled in!

Up bright and early on Thursday, spent most of the morning packing - I still can't believe 6 months ago both Marc and I arrived with only one bag each... and this is what we have already accumulated!

Where did it all come from?!?!

Several trips later, we were mostly moved out!

Enter new apartment... the entrance! Pure space

A kitchen that you can actually cook in!

Isn't this the most brilliant idea? After washing the dishes you stack them on these shelves to drip-dry and just close the cupboard door. All the water drains into the sink - very practical!

The view from our bay windows...

I can't wait to have a braai (bbq) here!

So much space... you can actually "swing a cat" in here - It's amazing what a difference 3sq m make!!!

Our first dinner at the dining room table (so good to have one again!) Indian takeaways.

This weekend is the midsummer holiday in Finland and I wanted to capture just how dark the evenings become...

11pm

Midnight

This is 1am, 2am and 3am... then I went to bed! But it's pretty much as dark as it gets here (during summer that is).

That was Thursday...

Friday morning we woke up nice and late as it's a public holiday here. Moved the rest of our things then decided to watch a movie.

Well, the centre of Helsinki was deserted! Hardly anyone on the streets - EVERY shop was closed including the movies... really bizarre! It reminded me of a time when no shops would open on a Sunday... giving away my age here!

Also rain has been predicted for this entire weekend! Let's hope it's not true and that we get a little sunshine for Estonia!

Crossing fingers till tomorrow...
