More travel stories - summer 2004

Well, it was about time....
Here are some photos from our north-europe trip on July 2004.
We started from Finland, passing from Tampere to Helsinki. Pretty nice place to live (if you dont mind sleeping with sunlight during the summer), very relaxed, peaceful, organized and not as expensive as we thought it to be. An advice: go there during the winter and visit the northern part of the country and especially the countryside, lakes and forests, the cities don't really worth it, too civilized!


This picture is from Helsinki during sunset (at 23:00 in the night!)


From there we passed to Tallinn, such a wonderful medieval old town, this was what made my trip worth it. I had the best three days there, just walking around the small streets and looking at the colourful buildings.

We stayed at a very familiar-type hostel, really nice, great location in the old town, called "Old House", if you ever go to Tallinn try it and you won't regret it.

For the end we left the "dificult" part of the trip, Russia. Just crossing the borders in a night train between Tallinn and St. Petersburg makes you nervous, the border police control wakes you up at 2 o clock in the morning checking every detail of your passport and visa. Imagine after that reaching St. Petersburg at 8 o clock tired and dirty and not being able to find any help in order to reach your hostel, not even a person speaking english. The hostel didnt really make you feel any better, extra security with access-codes all over the place gave you the sensation of alert, the building was one of these big typical sovietic structures and one day we had a "surprise" inspection of the papers of all the people living there.

I dont know why but I left a bit dissappointed from St. Petersburg. I cannot say it is a very beautiful town, despite of the many incredible buildings, churches and palaces(especially at the two sides of the river). In general it left me the image of a huge-dirty-decadanced town, with old (but VERY old!!) cars and trams, drunk and poor people all over and an attempt - thankfully not succesful- to rob us. The only thing I regret is not seeing one of the ballet shows, it was too late when we discovered that the ticket was extremelly cheap and we had a train to catch. Next time.

From there we headed to Moscow, for the last stop of my journey and a large visit to the famous Red Square and the outside of Kremlin. Didn't manage to see much, too few time, I think next time I 'll try to go during winter. In my opinion Moscow is much more beautiful than they say it is and I have to go again and see more.



Well, one kiss to Alvar and Miki who tolerated me all these days during the trip and thanks for all the help :)

OLEEEEEE!!!!

Se acabo!!
Por fin, todo bien y lo mas importante es q se acabo y estoy libre y tranquila ya! :D
Hasta la proxima! (=presentacion de tesis)

(greek)
Επιτέλους!! Πάει κι αυτό το πικρό ποτήρι, το ήπιαμε και ησυχάσαμε! Το σημαντικότερο είναι ότι επιτέλους μας έφυγε ένα βάρος και μπορούμε να πάμε να τα πιούμε και να ηρεμήσουμε :P
Αξιοσημείωτο, δεν μου κάνανε ούτε μια ερώτηση, η τα είπα τόσο καλά (το αποκλείω) η μια και ήμουν τελευταία είχαν ξεσκιστεί στην πεινα (το πιο πιθανό).
Δε βαριέσαι, πάλι καλά.....

Dos pelis q he visto este fin de semana

El Viernes fui a ver Collateral, con Tom Cruise y Jamie Foxx, por ser una peli de accion no esta nada mal, me ha gustado mas q pensaba.
Pero la q mas me gusto es la de Diarios de Motocicleta, sobre el viaje de Ernesto Guevarra con su amigo Alberto Granados, muy buena "road-movie" y los dos actores lo hacen genial (aparte que el Gael Garcia Bernal que hace el Che es super guapooooo!!). Highly recomendable

Cooking

Here is the page of a really funny and good chef, has a lot of recipies and it's always fun to look at if you need an idea for something different and original. He is quite popular and famous in greece due to a tv show but none here in Spain knows him. If you have the opportunity to watch the show do it, is much more useful and fun than the book instructions.
The truth is that I have his book and I tried some of the recipies on it, not all of them went as great as I thought but not bad either.... Have fun!

RONNIEEE!!!

Yesterday night while we where getting bored in an empty bar of Castelldefels, guess whom we saw entering??
The one, the only, the best, Ronaldinho!!
Ok, I dont have any proof because I didnt want to be the typical fan that runs for an autograph and photo but anyway, if you go to this bar (named something like Brazil) you ll see that he goes there a lot.

Well, anyway, this is for Ronnie. OLE! OLE!
