Our stay in Helsinki - December 30th to January 2nd

We were welcomed in Helsinki by my cousin Henry. He was a wonderful host during our stay in Helsinki and we would like to thank him again for this.

Helsinki is a very nice city with just one problem : "the cold" . For people like me it is always a challenge dealing with extreme cold climates.

We visited several places during our stay there. We were in Cafe Ursula, a nice place close to the ocean. We also went to a local museum and to a Mexican restaurant called Santa Fe.

For new year's eve we spent the afternoon watching movies (Apocalipto) and then we had a very nice dinner.

After midnight we decided to mix with the locals at Havana club a Latin bar where Latin music is played.

January 1st was used to go to Porvoo, a small town north east from Helsinki. There we enjoyed the cold by walking the streets and then by drinking some hot beverages. In the afternoon we chill out watching the transporter.
