Wow, good morning to you Finland! 🌅🇫🇮⛴

Spent the morning wandering around Turku, Finland’s oldest city and former capital…

Whoops! We accidentally locked our luggage in the ferry terminal in Turku. Didn’t realise they close the building for most of the day. I guess we’ll be making an extra trip back later tonight… 🙃

Honestly, I cried a bit. ❤️ @moominofficial

After a mishap with our luggage this morning – it’s fine; it’s just locked in the ferry terminal 😂 – we caught our planned steamship Ukkopekka cruise to Naantali, complete with “archipelago fish soup” for lunch!

The goal of all this trekking was to get here: Moominworld in Naantali, Finland. Rodd introduced me to these books many years ago, and honestly, in a just world they’d be more well-known than Winnie-the-Pooh. We visited Moomintroll and Snufkin, toured Moominhouse, enjoyed the beautiful island and sea, and sent a special someone a postcard… (More tomorrow!)

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
