Now I probably didn’t give Helsinki the attention it
deserves but after 2 very full days in Russia, very little sleep from a bit of
partying on board the ship and the heat, that let’s face it we Brits are not
used to I was exhausted. We walked into Helsinki town centre rather than catch
the shuttle and then up to the Temppeliaukio Church or Rock Church finished in
1969 which is an incredible piece of architecture. I took a walk back into the
main are via a Hard Rock Café for a cool drink and got snap happy on the way.
I did a little souvenir shopping for gifts in the market by
the harbour which had some amazing jewellery pieces and a photographer that had
some wonderful shots he had taken of the town in all seasons and turned them
into prints, magnets and postcards though unfortunately his piece that I brought doesn't have his name so I can share it with you. I seemed to find there wasn’t much to Helsinki
other than the few tourist spots and shopping, which unfortunately I couldn’t do
with my family in tow but we did come across Helsinki’s Love Locked Bridge. I
was ecstatic because I had heard about the one in Paris but I had never seen
one myself and now I want to search them all out, so if you know where there is
one let me know.
