Helsinki

So now I have been there again. I have been used to drive through there, but have also visited it 2 times earlier, since other times I have only travelled through Helsinki. Now I was there one nice day in May. We sailed out with friends in the morning and sailed back late evening, so we could sleep in our own beds and wake up next morning at our own home. The weather in the morning had small rainy, but later in afternoon, when we walked more in the city, sun came out and we just enjoyed our time there. We had fun and also a lot of pictures was done :D The perfect end for the day was very nice sunset, what made just to dream and think of nice thoughts.

So, now some facts about Helsinki:
Helsinki is a capital of Finland. Currency they use is Euro. It has good connection with Estonia and it takes quite short time to go there. By plane it might take ca 30 minutes, by boat from 1,5 hours up to 3 hours. The Office of the President of the Republic of Finland, the Parliament, the Government and various ministries are all located in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Approximately one-quarter of Finns live in the metropolitan area as well as the majority of non-nationals living in Finland, so that takes together with suburb area around 1,2 million people to live the city. Suburb cities what has been counted also under Helsinki are: Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. In the late 19Th century, Helsinki grew rapidly and developed into a modern European city. At the command of Gustavus Wasa, the King of Sweden, Helsinki was built at the mouth of the River Vantaa in 1550. The King ordered the burghers from Rauma, Ulvila, Porvoo and Tammisaari to move to Helsinki. The new town was supposed to compete for Russian trade with the town of Tallinn on the opposite shore of the Gulf of Finland.
