Ice Ice Baby
After two days of beautiful sunshine and high temperatures, we woke up to the cold and the rain. We could let this ruin our day OR we could double down. Yep, when things get cold, we get colder. Walking through a giant igloo! We had heard of an ice cave only a few...
🇨🇦 Canada Day 🇨🇦 in Finland
Pretty easy day for us today…it is a holiday for crying out loud. Beautiful way to start today at the lake The road warrior! We are going to go check out the local gorge. The Orinoco Gorge is said to have been formed almost 12,000 years ago during the last Ice Age....
Hiking and Camping???
Okay...but in the loosest way possible. You know us. We barely hike and we certainly don't camp. So the fact that today had a surprise hike (and we weren't even a bit phased by it, or upset) and that we ended up in a campground...well...who the heck are we?? This is...
Fortresses, Fresh Noodles & Finnish Saunas
A nice slow start to our day today as we didn’t crack the door to outside until noon. Sometimes you need these days and this was one of those days. It allowed us to recharge ourselves for exploration, to get set to see Suomenlinna or Sveaborg. It’s the fortress at the...

I feel like we have had a lot of travel days lately...but here is another one! A train ride, a couple of quick flights, another train ride and a metro to get from Bergen to Helsinki, Finland. Happy dance because we get to go flying! Da plane! Da plane! Da train...da...
Going to Bergen…again

Untitled – Because there are no words…
How can I possibly sum up today with a short title? I can't. There isn't a word in the English language that might encompass the vision that awaited us at the top of our hike. Preikestolen - Pulpit Rock to us English speakers - is an extremely popular hike in the...
Early bird gets the worm
In retrospect, we should have pushed for the early bus out of town, but an 11:45 am departure sounded really pleasant at the time. It would have made all the difference in our day. Waiting for the bus The bus arrived a few minutes late but nothing out of the ordinary...
Wet and Wild
Some days you wake up and wish you had planned ahead, some days you wake up and wish you hadn't already made plans. Today started off in that second bucket. I don't know about the rest of you, but we typically don't enjoy doing outdoor water sports when it is 6...
