Viking Dreams

Touring Scandinavia May 21 - June 7, 2002

 

 Finland

Day 11 (Friday, May 31st) A day in Finland.

 

We arrived just after breakfast.  A local guide met us for a tour of the city.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Temppeliaukio Church  (below) was absolutely amazing!  Built in 1969, it was blasted out of solid rock and capped with a copper dome. 

We were on our own to explore the parks, architecture, stores and works of art until we returned to the ship for dinner and dancing.   We concluded that Helsinki is beautiful, dynamic and full of cell phones.

 

The day was capped off with a spectacular sunset over the Baltic as we cruised back to Stockholm.

 

 

Dessert anyone?
