So it's my birthday today. I am turning twenty six and we are celebrating by going to Finland.
We've already announced it but now we're actually going and the journey feels real and we're
at the train station waiting for the city line to take us all the way to the airport.
We have our tickets.
Well, we've just arrived in Istanbul. We've got a few hours to kill before our flight
to Helsinki. And that was a really nice flight from Bangkok. I ended up being able to sleep.
The food was awesome. We had hummus and other things and Turkish Delights. Oh yeah, that
was the best. So now we're just killing a bit of time.

So I certainly wouldn't mind getting myself a box of Turkish Delight but not for 25 Euro.

When in Turkey what is the one thing we have to try? You've got to have Turkish Delight.
We're found some that were less than 25 Euro. This four pack here was 11 Euros and I still
remember the first time I got introduced to Turkish Delights. It was when I was a young
boy and I was reading the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe from the Chronicles of Narnia.
Turkish Delight sounded delicious and I've always wanted to try them. I did get to try
them as a child as one of my favorite candies for sure.

What are you having for breakfast over there? This is my breakfast. Turkish Delight at the
airport in Istanbul. This is really good. Super sweet? Yeah, I love the icing sugar.
Okay, let me have some! No! I'm having another.
So I finally earned myself a bite. I was able to pry these out of Audrey's hands. Oh, please.
Isn't it good? Oh, wow! I like that it has nuts inside too.

So we just arrived in the heart of Helsinki. We've got ourselves a little map and we're
going to try and find our way. Let's see how it goes.
So we've made it to our hotel. It's been an extremely long day of multiple flights, buses,
tuk-tuks, everything. Even a train to get here! Now it is time for a hot shower, a bit
of a nap and we're going to explore Helsinki later on in the day. And we are staying at
a former jail.
