A Journey Through Finland Chapter 1: Ancestral Home of the Tandini Since 22 generations our family home is located on an island off the coast. Its name Nesholt derives partly from our Italian-Greek roots, partly from Nordic influence: Greek 'Nesos' = Island, 'Holt' = town names in Island, Norway and on some British Islands. On top of the island there are still ruins of the old stronghold, which was inhabited over seven generations. In the 14th century a mansion was founded beneath the stronghold,...

A Journey Trough Finland Replies: @ggamus: I'm happy that you like the layout! - - - - - Chapter 4: Porto Neshold Revisited Construction works at Porto Nesholt have been successfully completed.

A Journey Through Finland Replies: Thank you again for your enthusiastic comments! @Lost Realist: Indeed, it takes some time, leveling the terrain especially at junctions and winding roads until I find them fitting... @Mithrink: There will come more! - Well, I decided to limit each standard update to 10 pics (I personally find, if there are very much details - as I tend to - it would be difficult to grasp it all ) @standop: Uumm, hmmm, well - from 'gimp' ... @SimCoug, Schulmanator: True, it takes a lot of...

Intro

By Tandini,

A Journey Through Finland A warm 'Hello' to all and welcome to my first RP. First of all, please don't be too critical with my English, cause I'm not a native speaker...
