3-15 Jan 2025 Scandinavia adventure with friends
The day tour which we missed on the Tromso flight day will start from 1pm.
We would be heading out after breakfast to downtown for some shopping before the day tour.
It was a busy morning indeed!! 😉
Already out by uber by 920am.. the shops will open at 10am.
We arrived early at LV Esplanadi and need to wait for the doors to open.
Esplanadi park is just opposite us.
Our pretty and lovely service gal.
We were excited over our loots, she was happy we bought so much🤑!!
1210pm by the time we finished. We gotta rush back and there won't be time for lunch.
Checked-out straight upon reaching hotel. Heading for City tour at 1pm.
Our first stop was the Sibelius Monument.
Next stop - the white church, Helsinki Cathedral
The four statues, representing Law, Work, Peace and Light.
The Helsinki Central Library Oodi is very interesting.
They allowed citizens to borrow not only books, magazine, music but instruments, sewing machines, 3D printers and even sports equipment.
Kansalaistori Square
Ending the tour and heading to be dropped off at Stockmann Helsinki Centre.
Cute traffic light
From 3pm, we had free time until 6pm.
We want to head to Old Market hall for Salmon soup, about 12mins to walk there.
Passing by Moomin Shop Esplanadi, we will be back later.
Esplanadi park
Old Market Hall
From reviews, E Eriksson was the best choice.
Lights up by 430pm.
Not much time left for shopping.
Back to Stockmann our meetup point.
Opps, last minute shopping?
It was really time to go!!
Our Helsinki route
We had the 2355 flight to catch.
Before checking-in, we gotto get our tax rebates first.
The lady at the counter was talking on the phone the whole time and did not check our goods. 😜
After repacking our luggage, time to check-in.
