Helsinki Surprise

Today, my last full day in Helsinki was a surprise birthday present by Serena. Although my birthday was in March, Serena wanted to celebrate it in Helsinki so she took me to the Fazer Cocolste Co, a very large company in Finland producing a range of chocolate and food products on a grand scale. The company, still privately owned is 126 yrs old. We did a tour of the factory and were given a sample of their products. Like Whittakers in NZ, they are a cut above in the chocolate and food world.

After the tour , we headed back to Serenas' apartment for a walk through the forest . Finns are big on Frizbee Golf, a new sport in the world. We watched a game and then continued on home for dinner. I fly out to London tomorrow.Read more
