Finland - Helsinki - 2nd and 3rd August

Esa Ylostalo my driver and my friends at Kutilan Linkenne
from Rovaniemi. Thanks for another safe trip. 
We departed Tallinn early morning for the cruise back to Helsinki arriving at about 13.00, leaving the boat we rejoined our coach and met up with our Helsinki City Guide, Sonja.... and off we go on our city tour, passing the Embassies, the Olympic Terminal, view Uspensky Orthodox Cathedral, a stop in Senate Square to view the beautiful Lutheran Cathedral, then onwards to the famous Temppeliaukio Church (Rock Church) for a quick visit, next was the Sibelius Monument ... a great sight in memory of a fantastic composer. It was then back to the Sokos Vaakuna, check in and free time .... the following morning 3rd, unfortunately it was time to bid Helsinki, and Finland farewell as we made our way to the airport and the afternoon flight back to London. Hope that you have enjoyed Finland as much as I have, it is a country of contrasts, but with lots of trees, lakes and more trees, and lovely placed towns and communities. If you have never been ... then its time to go, you shall not be disappointed ... unless of course I am not your Tour Manager !!!!  
Thanks for following .... some final pics of Helsinki ...... come back soon ...... Norway is next .... on the Hurtigruten Coastal Voyage ..... the scenery is going to be fantastic...... later. Richard

Kia Ora, Hello again, unfortunately now back home in what is a sunny Stafford, the final few days of the New Zealand trip were spent in the beautiful Bay of Islands,from the 19th - 22nd,  although the weather was not the best, torrential rain and gale force winds .... we did manage to enjoy it. After leaving Auckland we crossed the harbour bridge, and made our way to the Kauri Museum, at Matakohe. Here we had time to experience this fantastic museum, and learn all about the Kauri tree and its uses. The afternoon drive was through a native forest, where we stopped to view the oldest largest of the Kauri trees, Tane Mahuta (the big tree), it is said to be over 2,500 years old, and stands tall in the forest (see pics below). Later we travelled through to our destination of Paihia, in the Bay of Islands, when we arrived we met with Lena, our guide from Culture North, she took us on a short orientation tour ending at the Waitangi Treaty Ground, where we had a visit to the Treaty House

We are now back in the UK at least the sun is shining, nearly as warm as it was when we left LA. The last day (Wednesday) seen us heading to Hollywood, most of the group went off with Redline Walking Tours for an insight into the Hollywood "life", after lunch we travelled through Sunset Strip and Beverley Hills before arriving at the airport for the flight to London with Virgin. Alas it was time to say our farewells and hopefully take home some great memories of the 2, 493 miles that we travelled since arriving in LA on the 9th June, just a quick recap, San Diego and its old town, Phoenix and its heat, Sedona with its beautiful red stone rock formations, to the Grand Canyon and the memorable flight, to the glitz and glamour that is Las Vegas, through the desert to Calico the old silver mine town, and not forgetting the afternoon stop in Tehachapi, for that wonderful cream pie !!! next it was off to Yosemite to walk among those old sequoia, and marvel at the scenery and of cou
