  • Cherry blossoms in the park

    May 20, 2017 in Finland ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    What a beautiful sunny day! People might think Finland is all snow and darkness, but we do in fact get a beautiful sunny season too!

    Roihuvuoren Kirsikkapuisto is a park situated in the East of Helsinki and this was my first visit. The official event for the Cherry Blossoms is on Sunday, with a picnic, dances and an introduction to the Japanese culture.

    As I am not able to go on Sunday, I figured I would drop by anyway on Saturday and it was the best idea! It was not crowded as much as on an event day and the blossoms were beautiful!

    Definitely a great find :)

  • The amazing view from Ateljee Bar

    May 21, 2017 in Finland ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    I have only spent 30 minutes on this terrace before going to the cinema, but what a view! It's on the 14th floor of Sokos Hotel Torni. It has a small space indoors and 2 tiny terraces (one on either side).

    This is the one picture I could take as I was there with friends. Will visit again!
