On Tuesday, on David’s lunch break, we met at the travel agency downtown to book our first trip out of Sweden. We are going to Helsinki, Finland. Jason and his family are going on the same trip. We will leave one evening on a boat and cruise over during the night. We well have the next day to explore Helsinki and then cruise back that night. We will be docked by 9 am.
Ellie and I were then on to our next goal….find the big store. Once again we started out on bikes. Once again, I got us turned around. After dropping off my bike, Ellie and I took of the most direct way – which due to construction is currently not safe to bike. I let Ellie ride her bike because I could carry it when needed. Finally, the store was in sight. I was impressed by the quantity and variety of items they stocked. It will most likely become our main shopping location. We were able to buy two meals worth of groceries in under an hour! Sad what I currently consider victories.
After a dinner of brats, we went on a bike ride. Ellie rode in the bike trailer. David showed me the way to the store. It is very easy to find (once you know where you are going), but I am not sure that Ellie can ride her bike there. There are two good size hills that I don’t think she can quite climb yet. Since the store was fairly close, we then rode to the bridge, following the path David takes to work.
