Hi there

Samppalinnanmäki (mäki = hill) is one of the seven hills of Turku and there's a nice park, too. That's where we went for a walk today.





This old cannon is a memorial for the cannoneers, who were in the Winter and Continuation Wars on 1939 - 1945.





Hey, look. It's another memorial. This one is for all the veterans of Winter and Continuation Wars.





This statue is a memorial for G.A. Petrelius, whoever he was.



Here are some nice views to the town center.















The building here is restaurant Samppalinna.



This one's for the independence of Finland.



Here you can see a small part of Aurajoki (joki = river). The red building is Pharmacy Museum and Qwensel House. It's the oldest surviving bourgeois home in Turku, dating back to the early 18th century. Turku is a bilingual town and Åbo is its name in Swedish.



Here's a view from Aurasilta (silta = bridge). The nearest building is the town hall.



There's a nice cafe in Qwensel House and we decided to go there.



Then it was time to say goodbye. Emil won't return to jinxed's with us, he'll start his journey towards new adventures instead.



Greetings,
Qah
