Home sweet home
Plans to visit Mont Royal the last morning in Montreal were scuttled by sleeping rather late and less than optimal weather. Decided to take a leisurely breakfast and pack up slowly.
And slow was indeed the operative word for lunch as well, actually left one place due to service whose speed is measurable on geological scale. Rain started to fall in the earnest during lunch, and continued intemittently for the rest of the day.
The Dorval/Trudeau airport is on the provincial side, and the offerings in the stores are rather meager. Ended up buying smoked maplesyrup-cured salmon and chocolate. Inniskillin icewine was priced around 60 dollars for a small bottle, so decided to do without.
Plane ride via Frankfurt was eventless. Finished Rule of Four and didn’t pay attention to movies (Hitch held no interest whatsoever, and had already seen Paper Moon).
Despite a mere 45 minute layover in Frankfurt all luggage arrives on carousel in Helsinki, and just the last leg - a taxi ride home - remains.
The next hurdle is to stay up until 23 or so, and try to get a proper wrestling hold of the impending jet lag immediately.
