Found by Mary & David from Australia at 1315. We stayed in Helsinki for a few days on our way from Tallinn to Glasgow. Took the bus ride to explore Porvoo for a few hours. A fascinating area. Hadn't planned for any caching here, but the internet terminal in the tourist information centre showed that there was a cache nearby. When we arrived near GZ there were a few visitors and gardeners in the vicinity, but they were all out of sight and we were able to search without interruption. Our GPSr was a little uncertain of the exact position but we found the well-hidden cache without much delay. Delighted to realise that this year was the 200th anniversary of the Poet guarding the cache who, we learned, had written the words for Finlandia to the music of Sibelius. Took €0.20 coin, left Australian brooch. Our thanks for an unexpected and enjoyable hunt to Erwast.
Co-caching with VesaK. Our third element. Took a while to spot the box. I think I've heard legends about this container...
Co-caching with Liimes. Still looking for wisdom in elements. It took a while to locate this one.
