Holiday Selfie

A planned one week holiday, where, when, how and if. And now, the moment had finally arrived!
Stepping out from the aeroplane onto the tarmac, cramming into the bus, which would take us the few meters to the terminal (rules are rules!) with many a Finns, who probably were as eager to start their holiday as we were!

Breathing the warm August air, mixed with a few gasoline fumes. Blue skies, palm trees, sweat pouring down our faces as the warm air filled our pores! We knew we had finally arrived: To the beautiful island of Kos!

Scenic

“Welcome to Suomenlinna!
No, this is not Vienna
Or even Sienna!
What you found,
While looking around
Is this little fortress
On this island gorgeous
Near the Helsinki city
So get busy
Enjoy our style
And stay a while!”

Watching for the enemy
But keeping an even closer eye
On the frenemy
