Helsinki day 2/3

 Decided to go to Soumenlinna Island (a 16 th century fortress island) for the morning. A quick ferry ride to start then a couple of hours strolling around.




Another Lutheran church


Kings gate, the official landing spot


Then it was back to the city to explore the old market hall on the harbour front





Lots of salmon 



Dinner of traditional Finnish meatballs


A lovely walk home along the harbour - 20,000 steps for the day!



Expiring the City of Helsinki Museum - featured a sauna of course


Inside the Lutheran Cathedral


Pre loved Finnish fashion including marimekko


Another local “delicacy” a Finnish pie (lihapiirakka)- deep fried with meat and rice filling


And finally, out to the airport Hilton to check in for our cruise with Destination HQ/Quark
