Amazing Race 10 Hotel Update: Washing Off The Finnish Dirt

What you hear about those Scandinavians is true--they are much larger in person, well, at least their hotel rooms are. Hotel Kämp in the middle of Helsinki has some of the most spacious rooms in the city.

Since the remaining Amazing Race teams spent the day getting dirty in Finland, we think the CBS suits should have put them up for the night at Hotel Kämp, a swank Helsinki hotel. Not only is this hotel in the center of everything, but the hotel also offers a laundry service for in house guests. Very nice.

As far as we know Phil and CBS made the teams continue racing without a night to catch their breath, however, if we were in charge of this little race around the globe, we would let these dirty kids wash up at a five star hotel in the middle of Helsinki.  Oh, and the photo you see above?  Yes, Hotel Kamp is known to hand out these ducks to guests to use in the bath tub.  The monkey mounting the duck in this particular photo is not included with your room, just the duck, as far as we know.
