More Helsinki

On Wednesday I went for a walk around the Helsinki foreshores which was very nice. Everyone was out sunbaking to get the most of the summer sun, and there were little red finnish houses amongst the pine trees. I visisted the port where the ferries were heading off to Tallinn and Stockholm (the party boat to Stockholm is a tempting trip). I visited the big white church that towers over the city and must be the landmark of Helsinki. The red russian church was also visited but couldnt get inside there. Further around the shore were some big gardens with plenty of glasshouses and the central square where there were plenty of people out to enjoy a beer in the sun. At night we hit up Fever nightclub to see some drunk locals and get on the dancefloor.
On Thursday I called past the shops in the centre, and then caught up with Vivian for lunch at the local chinese restaurant. I also visisted the church that had been cut into a big rock which looked cool from the inside. Further out of town was some big statue and the city beaches. In the evening we headed in to Iguanas for some margaritas with a group of Germans, Iranians, Tanzanians and an Iraqi guy, before going back up Torni tower for a drink while enjoying the best city view in town.
