WHAT A BIG DAY TODAY !

That wasn't really gone good because I woke up one hour late (and then missed the breakfast). But the good thing was that the sun was here and shinning, going through the small clouds running everywhere in the sky.

I decided to walk the whole day and the sea was my goal. I started with the seashore, passing by some representative monument.

  

I discovered there the birds, the runners, bicycles, and competition of hundread of small sailing ship. You can sees some more photos than here in "my photos".

After a long walk I finally came to the seashore market, just behind the Senat place. There I seen such an original scene : horses and old costumes. that was fun, and chinese people liked that.

 
 

Well, the rest of the day I gone to an iland near from Helsinki whitch is called Suomelinna. This is an old fortress build to protect, in the past, Russia, Sweden, and then Finland of course. But when it was meant to protect and be impenetrable, the fortress nevertheless surrendered to the Russians in 1808. Now it's a real part of Helsinki with 900 people living there, and opening their "land" to the tourists. It's a real restoration that have been made to change military construction and garnison to homes, workshops, school, restaurants, and museum (7 on three little islands). The islands are linked by some bridges and that really nice to walk there for hours.


 
Well I wrote enough about my day. Let's talk about my night. (have a look to other photos in "my photos" )

I tried the finiish cook and I must admit that it was really good.

Here are the photos :

After this new day I'm totally impressed by the way of life of Finnish people. More to tell tomorrow...

Good night everyone ;)
