Helsinki

We spent two and half days in Helsinki with Ági and Flóra, staying in Kaija and Petri's lovely flat.
We did a lot of walking and sightseeing, saw lots of churches, the city museum, botanical gardens and a cool square with strange lumps which are actually the roof of an underground gallery. One of the churches was carved in the rocks, which are all around the city. Another was built in the middle of a noisy square out of wood and was freakishly quiet inside.
We also had a walk along the coast and tried some fried vendace, a local fish speciality, and saw some boat-saunas and a sea pool.Read more
