Helsinki, Finland-Day 13


Helsinki, Finland-Day 13


Toni is down with a deep cough/cold. Damn.

We docked in the fog. Fog is hardly the word for it but from our cabin it was hard to even see the pier.

The fog lifted around 10:30 and Lee boarded the shuttle into town as we had both decided to scrub the tour that was part of the trip.

Not much to report other than Helsinki appears to be a very clean major city with lots of high-end shops, at least in the area Lee explored. The streetcar system is rather dated looking but seems very efficient.


 Central Square, Helsinki 

Did not notice a lot of people smiling. Must have to do with the perpetual overcast.

 An oldie but goodie.

 Wide streets, well maintained, clean, made of brick

 The store for one footed people.

Off to Stockholm tomorrow for a day of coach tour around the city, then some free walk around time.

One night tied up in Stockholm and then board the plane for home. As nice as this has been, it is time to go home and see the cat (and mow.)
