On coming to Helsinki I thought that this would be quite a boring city but having been here I now think it is very interesting place with quite a lot to see. The highlight of the trip for me was when it snowed and I was in front of the massive Tuoiokirkko Cathedral. Helsinki has also got great transport links and I used the metro and went on the ferry with ease and no hassle at all.
In the middle of the city there is the very impressive railway station. I don't what it is but I am fascinated by the Railway Station building in some cities as they look amazing. There was an ice rink at the side of the station. You can also go to the Olympic Stadium which is at the top of the city. It was quite cold so you had to wrap up warm when going outside on these long walks and stop occasionally for a coffee to warm you up.
All in all it was something different and I really enjoyed it. For me the next 3 destinations are what this trip is all about. If it all goes to plan this could turn into a tour of the far east. Hope it all goes alright.
Take care.
