Have you Finnished (sic) ?

Day 79  Sunday 19^th June 2011

The weather was still good so we headed back down to the beach area gratefully avoiding any further contact with the husband hunting Svetlana from Kazakhstan. We looked out to sea willing our ship to come into port with its precious load, our bikes, knowing that it would be tomorrow when the magic day finally arrives. 

We strolled along the promenade stopping from time to time to watch the fun and frolics on the beach below and then headed to the small jetty where the fishermen were still hauling in small fish even as the ferry came in to land. The ferry had no sooner discharged its cargo of eager day trippers than it was ready to go back full yet again with its travelling load.

We had reached the limit of our interest in this area so we slowly headed back to the hotel and had a beer in the bar. We met and spoke with the Fins who certainly knew a think or two about drinking and one of them told us that they had been to the sauna and had special extras ie a little bit of rumpy pumpy for the bargain price of 3000 roubles plus a 500 rouble tip – that’s around £80. Paying for sex doesn’t feature in our journey but they seemed more than happy with their little shopping trip.
