(I'm actually in St Petersburg at the moment but it wouldn't let me go back so I thought I may as well include Helsinki while I could)
We have arrived! Everything has gone to plan so far. Flew into Helsinki last night. It was snowing but somehow seemed a lot warmer than Middlesbrough did last week. Caught the Sibelius train to St Petersburg this morning (took 7 hours) and went past lots of pretty snow covered trees, and some frozen lakes, and some more snow. St Petersburg is not warmer than Middlesbrough, in fact it is considerably colder so I've had to get the thermals out.
Haven't done much so far expect wander round trying to find our hostels and food, which I'm sorry to say was McDonalds last night and beans on toast tonight for lack of anything else.
Hopefully I will have done something more interesting next time but I just wanted to let you know I am alive and haven't been arrested!
