The flight from Bangkok to Helsinki passed quite smoothly. The plane had some hick-ups with starting the personal entertainment system at first, but once they got it running, there were several recent movies to catch. I could get some sleep despite the choice of movies, but Felipe was hooked by the movies the whole flight.
The security check in Helsinki was painfully tedious. Taking into account that it was early in the morning and we were tired and didn’t have all that much time to catch the connecting flight, it felt quite irritating, especially because there was no way we could have obtained a bomb from somewhere while hanging in the air between Bangkok and Helsinki, but well, that’s the achievement of the terrorists after 9/11 – posing obstacles to enjoying the fun of travelling. Fortunately, we still caught our connecting flight to Tallinn.
The weather was not extremely welcoming in Tallinn (not to say it was really bad), but it still felt good to be back home and besides, it really didn’t make much difference what the weather would be for sleeping. All was nice and well with our apartment, thanks to Madli who had taken good care of it.
We unpacked and made a pot of Salvest seljanka (what a change from our previous two months menu!) and took a good nap.
One more fairy tale was over for this time, but I guess it was about time. And, as Pipe’s Argentine friends say, we were back to the elves’ fairy tale land of Estonia…
