Weather became worse. So we did not stay as long in the north as initially intended.
Time to go south to visit Helsinki !
Esplanad parks :
Stone turtles appear often in Helsinki. After some search we found out that is seems not to be a historic thing. (City arms....)
It just that they find stone turtles as barriers nicer than stone columns etc.
If you are in Helsinki, think about buying the "City Card". (For 24h our 48h..)
It provides free public transport and a lot of free attractios. Like museums or boat trips to the islands in front of Helsinki:
After the boad trip we went to the old market:
And then to the City museum:
Design is just everywhere in Helsinki.
The City museum houses a lot about the city's history....
..that is (partially) presented in 3D:
And there is also a quite weird exhibition:
The exhibits and their texts descibe how the item stands for a (broken) relationships.
The stories are from sad to funny. One example of the ones I likes most:
Behind the City museum there is the Senators place and the cathedral of Helsinki:
How many bikes need the same ....?
Time for some Lapish food:
(Reindeer steak)
(Iced cranberries)
