The next morning we were so tired and slept rather late and left for the center around noon. It was time to go explore Suomenlinna. Too bad it was SO COLD and WINDY that I knew it would be absolutely terrible there since it's on the sea.. We walked through the center to the place where the raft leaves. We looked the timetables and saw that we would either have to spent almost two hours there or only 40 minutes. We agreed on trying to see the place in only 40 minutes. It didn't help that I didn't remember the places on the island that well even though I actually visited the island couple of years ago.. :P The way to the island took 20 minutes or less and Marie and also me got to admire these huge ice blocks in the sea.

After literally running across the island in 40 minutes we ran to the raft and made it easily :) Then we walked across the center to Temppelinaukio Church, in which I had never visited before. :) It was peaceful there, so quiet. Which was tough for us not to laugh or speak in there..
Pretty soon (like in five minutes) we got enough from the silence and left towards the center. On our way to eat we stopped at Makuuni which is a film rental place with LOTS of different candies. We were planning to eat candy, rest a bit and watch the movie PS. I love you and listen to its Irish music. :P Then we went to eat to Memphis restaurant in Kamppi and I finally used my 30€ gift card there which I had had over a year.. :P The food was really good and then we left to my place for a movie afternoon. The afternoon went fast since we both fell asleep almost immediately in the beginning of the movie. I woke up just in time to see the end credits.. :P
Then we took it easy and started to get ready for a night out, again.. And the place wasn't that difficult to figure out since we wanted to hear Irish music and one of the bartenders had asked us to come.
Yes, French people always find french speaking people even from French colonies. No other comments on the pic. Sorry Marie, I had to ;) |
We had such a good time that we even left for an after party and ended up coming home in the morning.. We rested for couple of hours and then headed to the central railway station's ice skating rink to skate. :) We expected some company but never got any. :( so much for trusting people, again..
After an hour of skating or so we were hungry for GREEK FOOD! ;) We walked to Kamppi's greek restaurant Minos to eat. It was SOOO refreshing to hear and speak greek! Although they didn't have that many greek food on the list but at least we got to eat tzatsiki and greek salad.
After "logariasmo parakallo" it was time to rush home just in time to get changed and eat little more to leave to Hyvinkää for my practise. I was happy that my teammate agreed on driving. We were a full car towards our practising place in Hyvinkää. :)
