Hello from the Baltic States...
As you may know our laptop is broken so we have hardly been online but we found a cheap internet cafe in Riga for 35 cents/half hour :) We will hopefully have it fixed in the UK and skype you all once it is fixed.
Since our last update we have been to Nordkapp (North Cape) which is the northernmost point in Europe accessable by road. It was quite cool but we unfortunately didn't see much due to the heavy fog. We enjoyed it anyway :)
The next day we headed into Finland... Make sure you are seated for this next bit... We went and saw THE REAL SANTA!! It was awesome! He told Lynnie that he would send her a puppy for Christmas and she is very excited. We also got a photo which cost us the equivalent of $45NZD but well worth it as there aren't many people that get to see the real Santa.
We are getting sick of changing currencies and are looking forward to getting back to the pound for a while.
Helsinki was a nice city and we went and saw Toy Story 3 while we were there. Highly reccommend it - it is really good! It was in English with Finnish subtitles.
After Helsinki we went to Tallinn, Estonia. The Old Town was quite nice but the city was a lot smaller than we had thought it would be. We had an included dinner at a German Beer Hall there (??)
Our Topdeck trip ended in Tallinn yesterday so we headed for Riga. We got a taxi from our hotel to the bus terminal with another guy from the trip who had booked the same bus and the taxi driver was CRAZY! He was going like 80km/h around the town. Lynnie was almost vomiting in the first 5 minutes.
We have found that things here are relatively cheap but not as many people speak English here. Our hotel is really nice and it is nice to have our own space after sharing cabins for the last few weeks.
Tomorrow we fly back to London Stansted where we are picking up the car we have hired to drive around England, Wales and Scotland for the next 3 weeks. We will keep you posted when we have internet!
It is a nice sunny day today so we are going to explore now.
Lots of love - we hope everyone is still ok with the aftershocks.
Lynnie and Court xoxo
P.S. Say hello to Saber, Disney and Abby for us (if you don't know who they are you don't need to worry about doing it)
