Slinkin' in Helsinki

It was a triumph of a day as Jenn and I managed to tour all of Helsinki and eat a reindeer lunch for a grand sum of 6 euro, respectively. We bought a 6,80 euro all day transportation pass for 2,50 euro and nixed the excessive kilometers of rambling. We visited: the Temppeliaukio Rock Church (looks like a UFO!), the Senate Square and Lutheran St. Nicholas Cathedral (looks like a cake!), the red-tented market square, Russian Orthodox Uspenski Cathedral, walked the Esplanade, and then made our way up to the Sibellus park. As mentioned before, we ate reindeer casserole for lunch and just had a grand old time throughout the day.

Good news for the day! We found a person to couchsurf with in Copenhagen!

General observations on the Finnish/Helsinki:

The people are not as reserved as they are made out to be. Within 5 minutes of our arrival Jenn and I met a chatty Finnish historian named Peter who directed us to the correct bus stop.
Men’s pants: not as nice.
The city is sunny and open, public transport is accessible.
Excellent looking salmon and tasty reindeer meat.
