How's everyone? I'm not auite at lost as the letterhead would suggest! In fact I'm about two hours out of the port of Travemunde in northern German -y on my wayl to Malmo in southern Sweden. We should arrive in the morning about eight. This past week has been busy and filled with much movement as usual. I spent another. day in St. Maio on the beach and exploring the port and offshore islands. Mao saw; Jacques Cartier's tomb in the cathedral there. On Thurs. I hitched back into Paris and spent that evening and Friday with Patrick and Eve just joking around finishing up some business and as always with Patrick, eating well! On Saturday, I went to Reims (rhymes in France') to see the cathedral where all the Kings of France were crowned and then headed for the border to make iny big departure from France...1 shed a tear (in my heart. at least) as we crossed into Luxembourg and left France behind. .. Yesterday morning in Luxembourg. I was picked up by a German couple who had just put their two teenagers; on a plane for a six week trig of Canada and the United States. With their non-existent English and my very skaky German, we managed to get along really well and they took me half the way up Germany to Braunschweig (just east of Hanover) where they wined and dined me and put me up for the night in their very luxurious house. They set me back on the. Auto-Bahn (like the 401) this morning and 1 continued the last 500km in a series of Mercedes and VW's - How typically German! The hitchhiking is excellent in Germany and, as there is no speed limit on the Auto-Bahn (most of the time about 150 km/hrl) you can really make good timel Tomorrow I'll hitch across Sweden to Stoc- holm on the east coast, I'll probably spend a day there and take a night ferry to Turku in southern Finland. Timo is expecting me in Helsinki on Thursday. The weather continues to be absolutely atrocious apparently it's general throughout Europe although there are rumours that it gets better the farther north one is - hope so! It has rained 6 out of the last seven days - amd not just little drizzles but all day downpours! Oh well. can't CoMplain as I wouldn't want to be anywhere else' . , . That's it for now I'm going se curl up on my little corner of the ship's lounge for a, few hours sleep. Hope all is going well with house and farm! Bye 'til -next week. 'Paesday, 22.07.80 Hello - Greetings from Finland! I have finally arrived! I got to Turku on Thursday norning as planned and hitch -hiked into Helsinki by noon - so from Paris (which I left Sat. noon) to Helsinki it took exactly 5 days almost completely by hitchhiking. As Timo wasn't expecting me 'til Fri. and was still out at the Summer house (where I am now), I spent a day and a half looking around Helsinki which is. a very beautiful 19th century town. 1 say "town" as it really gives that impression ' being quite small (500,000) for a nat'l capital and somewhat out of the way. Some of the highlights of the tour were the Olympic Stadium (1952), Finlandia Hall (where the Helsinki couference was held and the pact signed) and Uspensky Church (the first time I had been in a Russian Orthodox Church). As Finland was, until 1917, a part of the Russian Empire and is still its only non -socialist neighbour, the Russian in- fluence is quite strong. On Fri. night I met Timo at his house in one of the small towns (Grankulla) outside the city that form the metropolitan area. It was really good to see him again and to hear his tales of his 6 wks. of travel from which he is just back. Their house is also a real delight. Mr. Gunst owns a rather large architecture firm, is quite a well known architect, and their house certainly shows it. Of aourse Finland is known as the centre vat' modern architecture (T.Q.,citx hallis by a Finn) and their house is, • at once. striking. practical, and comfortable. We spent Sat. biking around the Helsinki area whichbecause all the towns are joined by kilometres of forest, is just like biking in the country side. On Sund.. we brought the • boat out here to the cottage. This is really paradise on earth! It's located on a tiny island in the archipelago of the Bay of Finland (the Russian border is jest 10 km away further out to sea). The cottage is quite beautifttl (Mr.- G. designecLit too) but it is quite rustic as there is neither electricity nor •plumbing. Our only source of hot water is the sauna - the most wonderful creation - which we take every night. The sauna is -a -- small wood -lined room with a stove covered with heat -collecting stones. When water is poured on the stones, the temp. jumps to as. high as 900.0 and one sweats like the proverbial "hen drawing rails". After.15 or 20 min.' in there during which the usual practice is to slap oneself witti birch . branches (sounds horrible, feels gyeat), we all make a mad dash for the ocean and plunge into the cold water - the Ideal is to roll in snow but that is lacking at the moment! We then go beak in and have a thorough washing and another 20 min. of , baking. The prooess is finished with a OlaSe ifitOld water and a bottle of beer on the patio. I know it sounds lite torture but I have never felt so clean nor so fresh and invigoratel. We take one every night. We have spent our days doing not much of, anything • some swimming, sailing, rewing & visiting the other islands- all in all the perfect holiday. Have to cut this short as we're taking the boat now to go to the Plait Office-. -trope all is Well at home. When Is the Reunion - fay 'hi to all. Got all your letters.
