Second day of Helsinki:
After waking up on Sunday, not really sure where to eat breakfast we left the hostel in hopes of finding something cheap. Would a croissant be too much to ask? But we found this place called Hesburger, which is like the Finnish version of McDonalnds or Burger King. We got a doughnut (or rather a danish) and coffee (IN A TO GO CUP!!!). Then at the restaurant we discussed the meal plans and the day trips for the rest of the vacation. After leaving the breakfast place a little before noon, we went on to search for our lunch spot. This is when we found the first really good restaurant. It was a prepared sandwich/soup/salad place with a coffee theme. I had a delicious Salmon and Dill soup that I ordered without knowing what I ordered (ah, the joys of the language barrier). After the delicious soup, more coffee and another Danish, we sent off to leave the city to wander around an island close by. I can't even spell the name of the island, but it's about a 20 minute boat ride away from Helsinki city. After following the path for a couple minutes, we started following along the coast to keep walking along the water. After walking around for several hours, we decided to head back to the mainland and find dinner! We tried to go to several restaurants, but being Sunday most were closed. Finally we went to Cafe Engel, which then became the hang out for us for the rest of the time. After having a delicious salad with goat cheese, a tea, and a dessert we rolled home and slept for a long time! The next morning, we woke up, and went to Cafe Engel for breakfast! Which was delicious like the previous night. Then after that we took pictures of every site around the city, and visited many other places. Finally going to a bar for a cider before heading to dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant. The fancy night was almost over as we headed home to sleep again before packing up because my friend would leave the next day.
Peace, Love and I need to go now! more later!!
