Seurasaari

There is one place in Helsinki where you can go back in time, and be surrounded for a while by lovely buildings and nature, Its the Museum Island of Seurasaari, a 20 min from center of Helsinki by bus. There is also a sand beach and a nudists beach for those in deeper contact with nature.
I recommended a visit there, Also I discover this time the very nice building of the Urho Kekkonen house from the early twenty century, now a days a Museum and a restaurant-cafe.

Summer in Stockholm

Last June I had the chance to pay a short visit to one of my favorites cities ever, Stockholm. I just love this city, the streets, buildings, stylish shops and cafeterias, nice and friendly people in amazing outfits...yes I like!

And even better to travel when you are with your family, isn´t it!!?? Here some of the images from this short trip! See you very soon!

 

The Tall Ship Race (2)

As I mention in my previous post... It would be great to be a Sailor!:))

It has to be such a wonderful experience to be sailing in one of this ships, learning how to get the best from the wind, seeing the blue sky and the blue sea melting to each other, going through huge waves on a windy day, smell the salty air and feel it on your hair that gets all fizzy...I love the sea!.

The Tall Ship Race has bring me back lots of nice memories from the sea I love the most, the Mediterranean, and also the urge to see more of them!

Until next time Tall Ships!

The Tall Ship Race (1)

Last week we enjoyed in Helsinki one of the greatest event I have seen in a while. The Tall Ship Race.

I don´t think Helsinki has been hosting this kind of event, since I am living in here ( about 11 years now)
And I just loved it!! I wish it will be every summer!. People everywhere, the most wonderful ships I have seen in a while, concerts, theater for kids, workshops, food, Circus, Sailors, White and blue stripes shirts, anchors, sails....and a great atmosphere!.

I want to be reborn as a sailor. For sure! :)

I will share with you first some pictures from the kids event that took place at Koffin Puisto on wednesday.  Kids enjoyed the shows from the Circus school, and Risto Räppääjä Show.  Really fun and entertaining.

One jump

Herttoniemi is full of nice surprises...one place that had to pay a visit is the ski jumping area. Specially in summer has an romantic kind of vibe. Promise to come back in winter, and see how is like then.
