World Wide Wednesday in Kos Island
“Adventure is worthwhile.” – Aesop
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!”

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

Anchors Aweigh!
“Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home”
Traditional navy song

Industrial
An industrial building
Perfect,
Without the gilding
Solid rock
The only one
Of its kind
In this block

Come on Knock on Our Door!
“Come and knock on our door… (Come and knock on our door)
We’ve been waiting for you…. (We’ve been waiting for you)
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,
Three’s company too.”
Three’s Company theme song
