Day 1: Visiting Suomenlinna Island via Helsinki..

Actually this time I went to Helsinki not as a tourist. So I didn't look for any details. Also it was not the right time to explore!

So cold! felt like -5 deg or less...Ha ha ha..

And before booking the ticket, I was looking for the best price (I meant the low) not thought anything about their free time. Ha ha ha.. See how selfish I am .. I got the good ticket from wednesday to sunday. Also I thought I could go out on weekdays by myself and spend time on saturday with them..

But, more surprises waited for me... They took off and spent each and every minute with me.. Imagine no phone calls .. no interent.. no disturbance at all.. just we were three of us sharing something always.. hmmmm.. very good experience! I liked that..

"You know I always wanted this kind of effort from my family.. everyone receives thousands of phone call a day.. always they are busy in talking.. sometime i had to talk with that person otherwise it would be impolite. many visitors and many visiting... Honestly I never spent quality time with them.

Will try to change next time of my visit".

Okay.. Lets come back .. So Nasim and Abul had already lot of plans. So we started like this..

We went to one island (visiting castle) via helsinki city centre.

This is the main railway station..

On the way to get the ferry to island..

this is the only photo we all three together! I like it a lot.

Cathedral.. No offense the only building I liked in Helsinki...

please do not misjudge .. there are good things coming up!!!!

oh.. there it goes.. beautiful ship was right in front of us..

"Silja line".. goes (daily) to Saint petersburg..

I started enquiring about this. It is my dream to travel in ship. Also other good information I got is I do not need visa to visit St.Petersburg.. hmmmm... I started liking more Finland. And I started giving plans ..

Ha ha ha..

We have good plans now.. Lets see how it goes after two years.

now, we go to the Island..

we were already there. Almost no one was there.. Of course that makes some sense!!! It was too cold to go out..

in the following picture you see small huts.. could you guess what is it???

Okay.. Do not think a lot.. those are nice toilets! I liked the idea!

I liked the view of the castle in this angle!

We spent less time but had lot of fun.. Abul was all the time distributing food and water and made us so comfortable!!

On our way back we could see the "Viking Line" to Sweden.. it is very beautiful.. right???

May be one day I would own my own boat!!! why not??? who knows!!

In that case, I swear you are anytime welcome to travel with me!

So after our visit, we needed warm place.. we were in the shopping mall already with food court..

I had an opportunity to choose our food!!! that made me more happy..

my choice was to "Chinese"..

Poor Nasim and Abulfaz were so tired!!! ( and those balloons are mine- that was an offer!) ..

After good chinese food we went to explore some places inside the shopping mall..

That was enough cold out for that day!!!

As soon as we reached home Abul made a nice coffee and Nasim prepared great dinner (spicy again) and we started talking.. Specially me .. that everyone knows!!!

So that is for first day!

I give you news about next exciting part later!!
