Porvoo, Finland - 18th June 2010

By: Delenna

Yay! Wohoo! I'm in Finland! My host picked me up from the post office on her way to the town - and I got to do sightseeing right away when I got out of my package  :D I told my host Muumipeikko sent his greetings - my mentor hots my host's tv  :cyclops:

This is Porvoo, a city established in 1346 and now with about 48000 inhabitants. It's only 50km (less than 1h drive) east from the capitol, Helsinki.

I'm standing on the river (quite exactly on the spot where the Lat. & Long. take you), looking around. The riverside is a popular place for bar&restaurant visits in the summer. On the other side of the river they're building a campus area with a movie theatre and art exhibitions. The houses on the shore are modern versions of the old shore warehouses (seen later in the next update). People have paid good money to get to live in those :)

As you can see the river is full of boats! All newer but there are some old ones - mmostly for cruising purposes. one of them is the old wooden schooner is called Marita, built in 1947.
