Home Exchange: Finland


Absolutely loved our Home Exchange in Finland.  Our home was about 18km from Helsinki city in a rural type location.  Although we got out and about in the city, hiking in the forests and swimming in the lakes we also spent more time at the house because it was such a lovely and relaxing place. 

The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, play house, trampoline and being able to watch cartoons in Finnish on the TV.  We ate almost every meal outside other than the odd day with heavy rain, thunder and lightning.  Finland turned on the weather for us, it has actually been the hottest summer in 50 years. 


There will be no blog posts for about a week as we are not taking our laptops to St Petersburg.  We will be on the move with 3 over night ferry crossings, a few nights in hotels before arriving in Palanga, Lithuania next Sunday.  We’re all looking forward to the ferry rides, they are heaps of fun.  This ferry has a swimming pool, variety of musicians/bands and a cabaret.
