And so our adventure in land of unicorns came to end. We are alive and at home safely.
On Sunday we had a huge cleaning process. Did we really lived whole this time in this kind of dirt and mess? Ok ok this sounds terrible, but some place were really dirty like for example oven and shelves. Anyway, we left place shiny and clean as we never seen it like that before. It was so sad and weird to leave our flat knowing that we won't come back here anymore. Well, of course we'll visit Glasgow and Paisley someday but it will be different experience.
After leaving our keys at the reception, we had to wait for taxi for about an hour. The receptionist said that they called us a taxi but it never came :D After panicking that we will be late for flight, we decided to call ourselves. We learned that never let somebody else to take care of anything, you will have to do it yourself anyway !
Our luggage were heavy as hell. Sorry taxi-driver :D We hope yer back is okay. Because our hurts a bit. Anyone ready to give us a massage? Please? What a relief it was to leave our baggage at airport and continue our way.
When our plane rose both started crying a bit. Truth is as we have been saying before, that Scotland became a home. It was like a piece of heart (so cliche but so true..) were left there. And then we felt so empty inside. We didn't even cry when we left Finland, but Scotland.. Does it say enough ? We really enjoyed there.
We had intermediate stop in Amsterdam where we had to spend about four-five hours.. Two ours we were at the restaurant drinking beer and eating burger while falling asleep. Next hours we just walked around (can you believe that we didn't buy anything at Victoria's Secret?! Yeah we either..) and sitting. We haven't used to wake up so early and well, flight is always a stressful thing and takes a lot of energy. Waiting was frustrating but went pretty fast.
On our flight from Amsterdam to Helsinki we had some Finnish people traveling same way. And we had a huge shock. Is culture shock possible at home? In Helsinki everything was on Finnish. So weird and too easy. :D We really had to strain not to speak anything of people there in Finnish because we were used to do that in Scotland. :D
What a joy it was to meet our dear friend Emi who came to meet us and Henna's boyfriend. Familiar faces! Road to home was fun. Like seriously, Marna laughed without stopping the whole time. If she stopped, somebody said something funny (or not) and laugh scene started again (sorry guys :D I was tired and happy!). And everybody else just tried to internalize the situation that we actually were in Finland again. And Emi and Mikael were real and it really wasn't a dream. :D
Next days we had pretty hectic running around after stuff like new operators and keys for apartment and millions of friends who wanted to see us. So yeah, soon we will be ready for everyday routine. It was crazy that in shop we really didn't have to translate those amounts into euros because they were in euros already. Shocking. :D While driving around Marina couldn't stop admiring Finnish nature. Oh how we missed these forests. It was a really warm and lovely day (NO WIND <3<3<3<333<33) and we just enjoyed home. Today we might go for a ride, for just driving around familiar places. And talk about our longing to Scotland. Is it really over? Or was it just a dream?
Cheers mates !
Two roommates (again) from Finland now
