Helsinki

Bigger, colder, stranger than expected.  Lovely people - polite and helpful - all with perfect English (and Swedish, French, Russian, German etc etc).


The city's buildings are a mix of 18th and 19th century charm with 20th century brutality thrown in.  













And there are faces everywhere.














The food is good but the wine - 40 euros for a bottle of Yalumba - perhaps a little overpriced.
