Gunners Davina and Daniel
A collection of Snake bite drinks with real snakes in each bottle - seized by Finnish customs and displayed in the Customs House Museum on the island
Yesterday Davina and I explored the island.
We passed a large communal garden where I asked if I could cut some lovage leaves to make soup with. I was given about 10 leaves (more than enough).
There is an Open Prison on the island. The inmates are the who keep the island meticulously tidy. They cut the grass. On one occasion, one of the prisoners was on a roof - not as a form of protest, but to clean it with a high powered water hose.
In the evening Davina had a suana, and we ate lovage soup.
