Trip to Helsinki,Sweden and Norway

Hi Friends,

We had recently gone to a 10 days Trip to Helsinki Sweden and Norway.It was fun we really enjoyed it...As i m living in Iceland we went to Finland first it is a beautiful country we took a city site seeing tour and saw almost all the famous places did some shopping from H&M and Lindex...we had some indian food from an indian take away called Namskar Express owned by Pakistaani.. from Helsinki we took a Ship called Silja Line to Sweden...Also in there was some Indian Theme,they had indian night in which they were showing indian movies....

Our Second destination was Sweden,It is again a very beautiful country.We got chance to eat indian food even in this country too...swedish people are very helping and very nice to talk too...

Our Third and last destination was Norway again very nice place the weather was better the helsinki here..we met many indian people there and our experience with all of them was quite good......the only thing i wud i recommend to people who have 3-4 yrs old children shud carry pram with them whn thy r travelling..we forgot pram for our 3 yr old daughter and then it was a big prob for me and my husband as we had to carry her all the time.

we had a gr8 time though.and just wanted to share it with all of u...

thnx

Hi Shelly,

Last summer we went on a 2 weeks trip to Norway.... beautiful place. We took a cruise from Kiel, Germany (took our car as well) and stayed in camping places (not tents but we had booked cottages), cooked (our boy was 2 yr old then)... a bit hectic to wash, shower with coin system but a different experience. But unfortunately we had to cut short our trip in 8 days since my husband found that his passport was missing! So we drove to Oslo, went to the Indian embassy, german consulate then took a cruise again and returned. The passport had apparently been found in the cabin in the ship and they sent it back. Must admit that whatever we enjoyed in those 6 days went into drain in the last 2 days:( I'd love to go back though... very friendly people, even in remotest spots and pristine nature.

Living in Iceland... wow! Do you ever get to see Sun?

Latha

hi latha,

yes we do get to see sun....these days it is more visible as the days are getting longer and the snow is melting down we do get sun 3-4 times in a week....but the only thing is that is tooo bright outside tht whn we go out we need to wear glasses otherwise it is painful...sun above and snow down it becomes painful for the eyes...

i knw tht whn u miss somethng like a passport ur whole trip gets spoiled but atleast u got it back and atleast u enjoyed 6 days tht is more important...

cheers
shelly
