Update

There's a few things that don't fit into any particular post, so I'll just throw them all together.

The Google Map link: our journey now goes onto 2 pages. If you want to see where we have gone after Latvia you'll need to click to go to page 2. Very impressed with ourselves that we don't even fit onto 1 page!

The poor wee Clio... we're still hoping a charity in Finland might take our trusty stead so it doesn't have to go to the knackers yard. But it's going to stop here in Finland, which nobody guessed (or even knew we were going to); so that at least saves us on chocolate fish! But seriously, we think we'll have 2 winners. Ben's brother's political answer of going "all the way we want it to" (no country specified) is most correct and we can see how he got his job. Closest by both geography and kilometres will be Peter Burton. So we guess we'll be giving them 5 choccy fish each. We've just clocked 10,000 miles since Calais today, so it'll end up at something over 16,000 km.

The one last point of order: we've had a few requests from some ladies for a pic of Joanna sideways. This from the City Museum in Tallinn:
Bump!
Also, her new hat!
Groovy baby


She's also just got some new maternity troos, and discovered that it was her old trousers that were uncomfortable, not her tummy. We'll try to get a pic of the groovy pants soon!

We're in Turku, and fortunately Ben isn't uncomfortable with people staring at him. Somehow his Hawaiian shirt and blue corduroy shorts don't fit in... Yes we've just done a big load of washing...

Looking forward to my chocolate fishes. Demonstrated aptitude for a political role you say... hmmm, well... you might very well think so... but I couldn't possibly comment.
