Update 2 - Trip to Helsinki


After the Christmas celebrations, some of the Elk's Street team made a quick trip to Helsinki.


Entertainment included a meeting of the Tapiola Cocoa Club, so named because dinner always ends with cocoa.


The January meeting of the Cocoa Club; Tarja, Pentti, Lulu, Tiina, Thomas, and Henry


Cocoa Club cooks.

By coincidence, SaiPa were playing in Espoo during our stay so Thomas and I got to take in one of SaiPa's away games.


Entry of the gladiators.


Thomas, not too impressed by the performance of the first period.

The boys upped their game in the last two periods, so all is well that ends well. Except if you are a home side supporter.

During our trip I got to meet with Roger, who pointed out that we had been in Finland over 20 years.

Roger, looking as youthful as ever.


The weather was quite cold, so to finish, Helsinki city centre seen from a very cold Suomenlinna.
