Helsinki part 1

Since me and Cem hasn't been travelling anything during the autumn plus are going to spend Christmas at home we decided to take a short weekend trip to Helsinki, since we have also talked a lot about exploring our neighboring countries. I've been to Denmark many time but never before to Finland or Norway and same for Cem.

So we booked cheep flight tickets and one night at Hilton Helsinki Strand.

Christmas market at Skansen

Me, my family, Ninni, Hans, Agnes and Astrid went to the Christmas market at Skansen last weekend. I really like the atmosphere at Skansen - especially at Christmas time, even though the place is packed with people then. We were also blessed with great weather and a lot of beautiful snow.
