Helsinki, Day 2

Day 2 saw us doing a little shopping and sightseeing, namely the island fortress of Suomenlinna.

I laughed at the English on this.

    I’ve seen these motorbikes before. Apparently they’re a first. It’s the first motorbike to include a seatbelt as well as being strong enough that you could conceivably roll over onto the roof and it wouldn’t break. Still looks crappy, though.

    Yeah seriously. We’ve seen it a few times now, so I suspect one of the employees of the cafe it’s outside of owns it.
