It turned out to be another beautiful day in Finland! It was overcast this morning when we got up, so we decided to take the Helsinki bus tour. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Helsinki - it gives you a good tour of the city, gives you some history, and makes stops at the Temppeliaukio Church, which was built directly into the rock. It is beautiful and the acoustics are the best in the world. The other picture stop was at the Sebelius Monument (the other picture in the blog today). It only rained a little when we were on the bus.
After the bus tour, we returned to Market Square for some lunch - at Stockman's Department Store - the biggest in Scandinavia. If you can't get it at Stockman's you don't need it. We ate in the 8th floor cafeteria - they also have a cafe and a deli and complete grocery store. We also managed to find 2 Marimekko shops where Sally did well on sales. We decided since the day turned so beautiful, we would stop back at the Market and pick up some goodies for breakfast. We made arrangments for a tour to Porvoo tomorrow - up on the steamboat and back on the bus. We are hoping for good weather and another busy day!
