After racing in Lahti I took some time to ski at a more relaxed pace with Laura’s family, and also to visit Helsinki which I had missed on my previous visit to Finland in 2015. I had hoped to take a few more pictures, but my camera batteries were really suffering in the cold. I was also suffering a bit in the cold, but this was quickly relieved with a visit to the sauna right in our Helsinki AirBnB appartment. What more does one need while on vacation?

Fantastic instructor for the day, a shame it wasn’t longer! A pleasure to learn with you Jan and thanks for being so patient. Hope the upcoming competitions go well!
Hi Nick! sorry – I’m terrible at replying to comments on here. So glad you had a good time – we will definitely have to plan a longer expedition next time! Greenland?
