We decided at the last minute to use the Hop on Hop off bus for a city tour and because the buses have wi-fi I was able to upload the second day of SPB.
Right now we are sitting on a boat waiting for a 90 minute harbour cruise to begin around Helsinki harbour. Looking forward to seeing the fortress.
Our impressions so far of the city is UMMM underwhelming. It is pretty and pleasant and the harbour area is beautiful but it is a tough act to follow after SPB.
We have another beautiful sunny day and I think the harbour cruise will be great.
We are 3 hours into a 7 hour day and so far the people are very nice and accomodating (this part of the city is a tourist mecca as to expected)
Later: finished the harbour cruise and it was very enjoyable
The streets are alive now and it is very nice. We have walked 20 minutes to the Rock Church and as I write this we are listening to piano music. Pretty here.
We plan on catching the Hop on Hop on Hop off bus and finish the tour back to the ship.
