Welcome home to London, the United Kingdom. I thought I had better do some cache maintenance on my caches along the River Thames in Kew and Barnes. Luckily there was this lovely new cache out the front of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew. 🇬🇧
England believe they can win the World Cup and the European Champs every time they play. Football is always coming home but never does. The women’s team are very good but are undervalued. ⚽️

Bare et hurtigt stop i København, Danmark, til dig. Just a quick stop in Copenhagen, Denmark, for you. My plane from Helsinki did not rely on British air traffic controllers because I had to change planes in Denmark. I thought I might just be moving the problem on but my connecting flight was totally unaffected and took off as scheduled. I was looking forward to some more time in Copenhagen! 🇩🇰
The Danish Football Association prohibited their internationals from becoming professionals at foreign clubs, and so Denmark Men did not qualify for the FIFA World Cup until 1986, although they won another Olympic silver in 1960. Triumph in the 1992 European Championship in Sweden marked the team's most prominent victory. Their best World Cup result was achieved in 1998, where they narrowly lost 3–2 in a quarter-final against Brazil. Denmark also made the round of 16 in 1986, 2002 and 2018. The Danish Women have qualified four times for the FIFA Women's World Cup and nine times for the UEFA Women's Championship, reaching the final in 2017. In 2023, They were eliminated in the Round of 16 when they lost 2-0 to Australia. 🥅

It absolutely poured in Helsinki today. OMG. I even had to buy an umbrella. Found a few more Geopoly caches and then it was off to the airport. Goodbye and thanks to my Finnish family. On the train to the airport, Geodaughter sent a message saying that there was technical glitch and the UK had shut their airspace. Hundreds of flights delayed or cancelled. The rest of the London cachers were already delayed for their direct flight but had left the European Union area so I couldn’t even had a beer with them while they waited. 🛩️
Finland is one of the few countries in Europe where football is not the most popular sport. As a result, their level in football is not as high as in ice hockey, which is much more popular in Finland. The mens’ team had never qualified for a major tournament until securing a spot at UEFA Euro 2020, which was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The women reached the semi-finals of the 2005 European Championship. ⚽️

These Geopoly caches in Helsinki are fantastic. You actually have to play a game to get the next coordinates (….if you play without cheating, which I am….). You’ve had to criss cross Helsinki with me but the caches themselves are top quality, the public transport here is excellent, and the city itself is not very big. 🎲

Yay - made it to UrbanHEL, the Helsinki MEGA. Signed the street art log wall, played with the trackables, did some labs, found some caches, caught up with geocaching friends, met other geocachers, and bought some coins - all the usual things. Then my time was up because I’m balancing geocaching with seeing my ‘brother’ Mikko and we had dinner reservations at a Michelin restaurant. You can only imagine how frighteningly expensive that was in Helsinki. 💸

Webcam time. Got to grab them where you can. Met up with the GIM crew and Simo from Finland. Found a few caches in this area and then Simo and I broke away to go to the Mega while the others continued their icon run. 📹

You met up with the other London cachers and travelled out to Sun Gear, Finland’s oldest geocache. It was in a lovely forested area but the mosquitoes were plentiful. From there, we worked our way back towards Helsinki adding more cachers to our group as we went. Super fun day. 🦟

Tervetuloa Suomeen. Välkommen till Finland. Welcome to Finland.
You boarded the ferry, The Tallink Megastar, and arrived in Helsinki, Finland. It’s good to be back. This is a bit of a home away from home for me because my family had a Finnish boy live with us for a year and we are still great friends. Coincidentally bumped into my Belguim geofriend at a cache. Everyone is here for the MEGA. 🇫🇮

You spent the day caching around Estonia with Rodent Droppings, my friend from Australia. He seemed very happy for any excuse to get away from his wife for the day and seems to have embraced geocaching. Not loving his name though. This was a great cache, the icon was on the electronic map of the shopping mall. How did the CO manage to do that? Stopped at a brewery for lunch. A bit of advice - avoid spruce and fig flavoured beer.
Estonia has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup or UEFA European Championship in either the women’s or men’s competition. 🐀

A palace visit for you today. Kadriorg Palace was built by Peter the Great of Russia for his wife, the future Catherine I of Russia. It’s very pretty. Friends from Australia are coincidentally passing through Tallinn for the next two days so I finished the day with a walk along the Baltic and then catch up dinner. 🍽️
