We rose early and ate a light breakfast then we were off.
We arrived at Helsinki where we first visited the university library. I have now found where I am going to spend my free time come winter. And then of course we had to have coffee.
After coffee we jumped on a tram and just went. This I have found is the best form of travel when you have no idea where you want to go. I have became an expert at becoming lost.
We ended up at a market where among many things we were given free picnic berries, apples, and bread. I am going to go back and build a relationship with this little shop. But it was a wonderland. Outside was a bunch of little tents but when you walked inside this old building there was shops of everything from meats to cheese to wines to candies. All small shops. It was shocking. It was near perfection.
We wondered around another small market and then jumped on the ferry to go to the island once again. The island has become my favorite place so far. I go there when I have free time so I have learned where all the streets lead and I am still finding new places.
You can smell the salt water and it was the perfect breeze. It was about 69°F.
We napped and read all day. I woke up once to hot air balloons in the air. We had the best view of all the sail boats.

There was a sporting event going on over the next hill where people were kinda bowling with sticks. |
It was getting chilly and we wanted coffee. This led us to the fanciest restaurant on the island (all the cafes were now closed) and all we ordered was coffee.
After we sprinted back to watch the sunset.

we almost missed the last ferry back |
We arrived home around midnight. It was the best day. I was able to say I did nothing but I experienced so many new things.
