I would be very greatful.

They won't have free time, this visit is too quick. They willl attend engagements evey day, press has not been given access to every engagement however. According to Rookie only first day was with free access.
As for leisure time I read it at some Finnish article, but I'm pretty sure it's not true.
Forgot to add, here's pic from last night dinner.

Hi, the photo is from Turun Sanomat
Englannin kuninkaalliset Edward ja Sophie kyläilevät Suomessa - Kotimaa - Turun Sanomat
The students of the College who are at the Avartti-program (= International Award for Young People), attend at a joint camp organised at the Oivanki Outdoor Education Centre. At the camp they get to know each other.
And here is a great gallery from yesterday's Award ceremony, hope you can open this. By photographer Juha Kinanen.

Lovely photos of the ceremony - it's always nice to see the Duke of Edinburgh awards getting coverage.
Even Sophie's coat was black...she was loving the black theme yesterday!

I recognise it from a Remembrance Day service at some point.
I am loving Edward's winter jumper in the picture of them leaving for Lapland. It's a skiing jumper for sure.

Is it always this hard or is this a special occasion? I live in Finland and it almost feels like they are not here at all. Very limited media coverage. :(

When they do engagements for the DofE Award, it is always this hard, due to no press coverage. Press is simply not allowed to cover most of those engagements. Not sure why. But I think we will see more after the visit will end.

^^ Apologies, I hadn't read the links above. Thanks for your link - the photos make me wish we had snow to go out and play in.
I love that Edward and Sophie wore the clothes provided for them as they look so warm.
Sweet photo

I love the clip of Sophie curling is funny with her when she says she may use her right arm (as she is left handed) with Edward hurrying Sophie up. "We've got a few other activities to get to so..."
I also love her bobble hat.
Who fell over at the end? That made me chuckle as well....
