wow, what a trip! we did helsinki, (finnish hinterlands) & st.pete a few years ago. while at the port of helsinki, waiting to get onto a ship to russia, i met a person that had grown up in my dinky little town(!) & when the shock wore off, i asked what street had she lived on & she said mine! i begged to differ with her & ultimately i was right. she had played on my street, but lived one over. she'd moved away when i was 3, so i'd never known her. in helsinki! (which was great, btw).
ReplyDeleteDavid what a fabulous trip, from what I have seen so far. Selfridge's looks so gorgeous all lit up.

Hello David:
ReplyDeleteWhat tantalising glimpses you give us here of what was obviously a trip to be remembered for ever. The variety of architectural designs and influences you show here are so incredibly rich and speak of such a wealth of historical events. We eagerly anticipate more!
You make us suffer :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely pics! The only place I've never been to is Copenhagen, so I guess I have to go there! ;D

Welcome back! I have missed you. Looks like you had an amazing adventure, I can't wait to read all about it.
ReplyDeleteLove the McDs cup.
ReplyDeleteAnd Selfridge's looks so out of place--which of these does not belong.
Can't wait to see more thorough accounts.
Hi, David - It's good to have you back, and from the look of these photos, you had a multi-cultural experience of grand proportions. I can't wait for more!
