Hello from Helsinki!

Christmas is over and 2006 is rapidly approaching.

I'm planning on seeing 2006 in here in Helsinki with Karoliina, though there were times yesterday when I feared that I wasn't going to make it.

Over the past few days there have been some serious wintery storms across Europe, including England. My train was delayed by the snow, but seeing as I took it for granted that my train was bound to be delayed knowing GNER to be as it is, that wasn't such a problem.

I had a connection in Copenhagen to get all the way to Helsinki, but there was pretty much a blizzard there. Sitting on the tarmac for over an hour, I saw the takeoff time for my connection through to Helsinki come and go, and thought that I might be having to stay the night in Denmark.

when I found out that that flight was delayed, it was actually the only time I'm ever likely to be glad that my flight was delayed.

Eventually I landed in Helsinki three hours late, with poor Karoliina and her mother picking me up at 4:20am local time.

Sorry about that...
