Rain Riding

Hello!
We are still alive.
We are currently in a lovely library in Ekeräs. We've been on our bikes for four days now and things have been going pretty well but also wet. Our first night we found refuge from the rain by sleeping under a bridge. We made our way easily to the ferry and to Åland. Leaving from Åland was a bit luckier of an experience for we just made the ferry unknowingly due a time change we weren't aware of. As well this ferry turned out to be "The Booze Cruise". There were multiple dance floors, a club, bars, hundreds of middle aged people dressed up in their sunday bests, and a complete supermarket on board selling everything cheap and duty free! Kyle and I didn't partake in most of these luxuries. We then arrived into Turku to stay with a couch surfer whom showed us some of the typical beers of finland. We didn't linger long though as we were off the next day to a National Park called Teijo and we learned the definition of Bike Route for our map. Sometimes it means a nice secluded bike path only for walkers and cyclists but it can also mean highways with micro shoulders or random roads full of pot holes and steep hills. Today we woke up to the sound of rain drops on the tent. We thought we'd wait until it let up a bit. No dice and it proved to be the wettest day so far. Soaked, and unfortunately where we placed our packs the night before in a heavy duty tarp bag turned into a large puddle soaking most of our things as well. D'oh.
With such wet conditions we hesitantly decided to invest in an indoor accomodation for the night. A small cabin by the water that is fully packed with makeshift clothe drying lines. Hope there will be room for us to sleep in there.

We've seen some really nice views over here in the land of Fin.
Hope everyone is enjoying there nice dry existence for the moment.
Peace,
Kelly and Kyle
