day 01: the arrival

after spending the night in munich at zombiequeen's (aka karo)
aunt and uncle, we got a ride to the airport by them. there we
bought a bottle of wine at the duty free shop for my godfather,
which we will hopefully meet later in stockholm. the bottle of
course got sealed in a transparent bag with special labels to
prevent an act of terror. after the duty free shop we went to the
gate where we were awaited to get on the plane. it seems we were
a little late since they already announced a "very last and ur-
gent" call for us. in fact it was the first call, i'm sure be-
cause whenever there was a call i was listening very carefully.
but anyway, we hurried to get on the plane, which then had delay
anyway because they were having troubles with loading the lug-
gage. oh well. about three hours later we arrived at helsinki,
again with a little delay since the landing lane was flooded due
to heavy rainshowers, and so the plane had to fly a round over
the airport. for the first time ever there was someone waiting
for me with a sign with my name on at the airport in the arrival
hall! ok, finally i'm important - yuhu. it was the girl from the
car rental com- pany, called anna-maria, that fetched us there
and drove us to the headquarter where we saw a fine video with a
crashcourse on how to maintain and operate the camper that will
be our home for the next three weeks. the instructions had strong
visual support by a finnish girl - uh, she was blond and tall.
one could defini- tely see she had great fun at the film shooting
(or maybe she was just drunk)!  thorougly and well instructed we
hopped on the camper, startet the engine and drove to our first
camping site where we parked our camper and took the metro to the
capital of finland, namely helsinki. an absolutely beautiful, but
small town with loads of parks and green areas. the strange thing
about helsinki was, that there were absolutely no people on the
streets, there were plenty of free parking lots and almost no
cars (except for taxis) driving on the streets. and i'm talking
about saturday evening/night on a warm, nice summerday. it almost
felt like walking through a ghost-town. on our way home we passed
by a super market (at approximately 22:30). quite exhausted we
went to bed for our first night in a camper at about 00:30. for-
tunately we could keep out the lights with sunblinds, since it
was still light outside - comparable to 21:00 in
austria.
