Back to Helsinki

July 27, 2009 was the last day of our North Europe trip.  Before leaving Helsinki, we spent the morning visiting another UNESCO World Heritage site, Suomenlinna.

To get there, we took a ferry in the morning from Helsinki port.
It was a beautiful day, and I took some photos near the dock before embarking the ferry boat.
