"Finally! ....." Helsinki by Lalique

Helsinki Travel Guide: 3,614 reviews and 7,274 photos

Just 1 hour and a half in the air and I'm there! So many promises were given, so many blames I got but I made it finally!!! : )))))

As you can see, the weather sucks (pardon!) here, but this minor obstacle can't stop me from having fun!!!!
So follow me into the real Finnish life!!

PS the weather changed to the best dramatically in a few days, so half of my stay I enjoyed Finland to the fullest!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Finns are really nice people! ;))
  • Cons:Cold-cold-cold
  • In a nutshell:Still worth going :)))

    That meeting didn't look as raucous as the London one! Nice night shots Marianna - tripod or no tripod.
