Travelog for: Angus

Hello again!

Today we went to Helsinki again. I saw a Swedish sailing ship named Götheborg. It is a reconstruction of a ship from the mid-18th century and one of the largest fullrigged wooden sailing ships in the world. Doesn't seem so big in the pic, though.

The third pic is of Uspenski Cathedral. It is a Russian Orthodox cathedral and was built between 1862 and 1868.

In the last image I gaze towards the Helsinki Cathedral also called St. Nicholas' Church and Lutheran Cathedral. You can see how different these two cathedrals are, as they are made by behalf of different  religions.
At this point the sky turned dark and rain started to pour down so we had to leave.

Hi,

My host visited in Turku at Medieval festival and I can't believe it but she forgot me behind! So she apologised for doing such a mistake and allowed me to try the calligraphy feather and the seal she had bought. She also showed me some pics from the event.

In the second pic they are roasting a whole pig in medieval style!

The third shows Turku Castle, which was first built in 1280s and then constructed also in next couple of centuries. In 1600s it was already like what it's today.

The fourth pic shows some swordfighting.

The last images are of the tournament and the knights.

By the way, on monday I'll continue my journey to Northern Ireland!
Bye Finland!

Hi everyone I am letting you know that I have arrived in Northern Ireland........gosh it has not stopped raining since I arrrived. I am very tired after my journey so I am off for a sleep and also to meet all who live here.


Hi Mum this is me getting money from the Ulster Bank Portstewart. This is wher my host lives. It is a very popular seaside town and has visitors all year round.


I went on a visit to St. Patrick's Church of Ireland. St. Patrick the patron Saint of Ireland founded this church and it ihas beautiful stain glass windows.


I did some shopping on the Main Street in Coleraine. In olden days traffic flowed through the town but it has all been pedestrianized.


I treated myself to a Starbucks Coffee. I got some strange looks as the froth went over my wiskers.

I'am home ,i'am safe and well.It was great to meet you all.T told Magicwoman all about my travells
Bye bye
