Travelog post for: Poppy McVee

Today I got to walk in the Old Town of Porvoo and not just look at the shore houses 

There are many many small shops that sell all kinds of quality stuff, mostly handmade. My host's favorite shop is a toy shop called Riimikko. It sells good toys made of wood or tin or such - basically anything but plastic. This store has a Moomin house on its window all year round - they just change the decoration by the season.

The painted boxes are "electricity boxes" painted by local art school students a few years back. They painted all boxes in the old town and they look a lot nicer than the un-painted dull greyish-brownish-greenish boxes. It says 'Sekatavarakauppa' which means 'general store'.

We had hot chocolate and a "doughnut" in one of the cafés before walking back to our car - which is not the long white limousine...
