Finland, yet again

Even though I hadn't found it very exciting the last time around, here I was again on a ferry heading to Helsinki, at the end of August.
My parents were visiting and we thought that the trip would be some good fun.
We weren't wrong...

The city does have another aura in the summer; we enjoyed strolling the long boulevards and the beautiful parks, as well as visiting and taking pictures in the historic neighborhood close to the harbor (with the busy and colorful market by the sea).










But, most of all, we enjoyed revisiting Suomenlinna; the place is even more beautiful in the summer.
