The Great Rudolf Flyer Run 2008 Part I now done. I’ve visited most of the over fifty places I had marked down for myself on a what turned out to be a very cramped and colourful map of central Helsinki. It was quite of an interesting operation in more ways than one.
I got a whole range of different responses from the places I visited. Some were very excited tell me that this was exactly the kind of service they had been waiting for (small, friendly day tours design for international travelers). Some were only lukewarm. And on some cases I know that our brochures will disappear out of sight just as soon as I’ve turned my back (they are heavily in bed with the opposition, you see).
Logistically it was also a bit of a nightmare as hotels/hostels ect. are strewn all over town. For the Great Rudolf Flyer Run 2008 Part II I must figure out some other way of doing this than trying visit them all by car. Perhaps hiring a bicycle might be in order.
