One month later I´m here, writing about this new experience that I´m living. The 2nd of January I arrived in Helsinki from Madrid, it was a really tough day. First of all I had to get up about 3 a.m in my town (León, in the northwest of Spain), then I had to go to Madrid to take the flight, but I had with me two huge suitcases which exceeded the allowed weight, so I was really lucky because I didn´t have to pay. Also, I had another problem, one hour before the flight my backpack was broken! Luckily my father could repair it. More random things happened to me, when I was in the airport check I had to take away my boots, there were a lot of people and a big queue to the control and when I could finish the control one of my boots wasn´t there, but finally, I could find it. I had to say that the flight was good, when we arrived in Helsinki we met another Spanish girl, who now is my friend, and took a train to go to the train station in order to take another train to go to Turku (where I live), unfortunately the train to Turku was delayed one hour and we were frizzing waiting in the street. Too many hours later we arrived in Turku and took a taxi to the Student village (where we are living) and it wasn´t expensive (surprising!). I was so tired and I had pain in my arms because of the suitcases, so I got into the room and lied on the bed. The room was better than what I expected, it´s big for one person, but I live in the ground floor so it´s not warm enough for me, but I bought a heater and now I am always warm, so it´s not a problem! And also, the best part of the day was when I sit on the bed and started eating my Spanish omelette (one of my favourite meals) made of my parents. As you can see my first day wasn´t the best day of my life, but now, one month later, the things have changed and I have a lot of adventures and experiences to tell you, see you soon!
When I posted about Tallinn I didn´t say anything about Riga, so as it was part of the trip I would like to talk about it for a bit. We only spent one day there so maybe it´s better to have a couple of days to visit it better, but it wasn´t my favourite place to visit. I like it but it wasn´t special for me, although I have to say that it was very cold and we were a lot of hours in the street and also a woman tried to rob me, so maybe I can not be totally objective with my opinion. The free tour we made was interesting because it was a bit different, we went to places which are not popular and touristic, and I really like doing this kind of things when I travel. Riga is not a really big city but if you want to visit different places and not just the touristic area I think you will need more than one day. There are a lot of buildings which are worthy to see, at least from outside, different churches and other kind of buildings. For me, people were really different from Finland and a...
