“Vamos a la playa!”
PART ONE
Into the harbour and down to the beach
Plenty of scenery if that’s what you seek
Blue skies, sunshine and warm weather
How could the holidays get any better?

“We’re on a highway to Hell-sinki!”
A Trip To Helsinki City (Sightseeing and Walkabout) One
Helsinki, the little town in the middle of nowhere, called Finland. You may have heard of it?
The place where all Finns dress in jumpsuits all year long and polar bears roam the streets. Penguins and other arctic dwellers are as familiar house pets as a cat or a dog. These Finns talk in funny accents and drink lots of coffee. They drive like nuts, because rally is in their bloods. They sit naked in the middle of freezing cold in a lake or a pond. In return, they have this dark small lodge, called the Sauna, where they sit naked in a hundred degree heat. Then later in July, when the sun comes out once a year, the complain about a twenty degree heat.
Yes, you know who they are! Welcome to Hell-sinki!

Hakaniemi (Sightseeing and Walkabout) Two
The notorious part of the town
Clad in a glorious white gown
Don’t let the history fool you
Sit down on a bench for the view
Beautiful in summer or winter
No longer a sore splinter
Of the great city of Helsinki

Hakaniemi, One
Travelling in my home country, Finland and in the exotic capital of Helsinki. For this week I have chosen the (in)famous Hakaniemi, a stone throw away from the City Centre. Or you can just take the Metro or tram to reach Hakaniemi in four minutes from the Central Railway Station 😉
Enjoy!

A Visit to Kamppi: Three
Artistic or snobbery?
Or just plain highway robbery?
Beauty, art and sound
Can only truly be found
In the eye of the beholder
In that very special folder

A Visit to Kamppi: Two
When left is nothing more to shop
Many of the passengers at the bus stop
Eagerly into a transit will pop
Keeping a distance to the strangers
Good Lord knows what dangers
May lurk behind a simple “hello”
