Today we headed for Porvoo on the steamer JL Runeburg - the trip takes about 3-1/2 hours and you getg to see the coast of the Baltic, with its many islands and summer cabins. It was a little windy, but a good day for a boating event. Before we left, we stopped in market square for a box of fresh raspberries - they were delicious!
Once we got to Porvoo, we toured the Old Town, visited the Cathedral (and saw the end of a wedding). had some ice cream (the licorice ice cream is really good), then finished touring the town and headed back to Helsinki by bus. The bus trip takes about an hour. We hopped on the tram and arrived back at the hotel in time for dinner, and a sauna. I think tomorrow we are heading for Estonia - weather permitting - on the "fast boat".
