A picturesque medieval town that has not changed much since the 15th century. Other than adding a few creature comforts like great coffee, heating, beautiful food and of course beer halls to hang out in.

And what a blessing in disguise this was when I was the last one standing at the baggage carousel and my bag didnt arrive. Tehri (the finnish lady), took me around in her car to show me the key sights of Helsinki. I spent the re...
