Today was Laura's first full complete day in Helsinki (well, I'm writing this at 6:30 at night on the 17th of February so perhaps I shouldn't presume). Anyway we walked around Käpyla, which is always beautiful, saw a squirrel, they are renovating the houses for better or worse. Then we went on a long walk to Fresh Garbage records and I bought a Thick Pigeon album, a Liikkuvat Lapset album and a few others, and scored a Gilbert O'Sullivan album and a Finnish christmas record out of the free bin, I asked the guy behind the counter how much a cloth Fresh Garbage bag was and he said 'you have spent so much here today you may have it for free'. Score!
Then we went to Picnic and ate some food, then we try and figure out the public transport, which was troublesome, and it transpired - apparently - that while we have the app ok it won't accept our credit cards - boo! We got some tangible tickets instead. Then we went to the National Museum of Finland. It was free on Friday afternoons (we initially thought free for two hours but actually only an hour - but that's OK we got the good bits out of it).
