Day 2 saw us doing a little shopping and sightseeing, namely the island fortress of Suomenlinna.
I laughed at the English on this.

Beautiful downtown Helsinki, (it doesn’t get any busier here than this)

Wierdest bike ever

On the ferry to Suomenlinna

No better church than one guarded by cannons

Europe’s so ancient and awesome

Hehe.

No Finnish vacation starts without Sauna.

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.
