Helsinki -Moi Suomi!



One Day in Helsinki -Moi Suomi! 


Hello guys! Here we are again :) 
Thought I have to share with you some pictures from my last trip to Helsinki. Unfortunately it was very quick tip, just for a few hours and actually I was visiting my friend but luckily I had couple of hours to have a lovely walk in rainy Helsinki :) 



So I arrived on ferry Tallinn- Helsinki. Weather wasn't very welcoming but as they say-
 there is no bad weather, the thing is always in unsuitable clothes :P  



So I let you enjoy some pictures with maybe my little comments on these :) 
It was my first visit in last 3 years and I did missed this city. 



The first railway station in Helsinki was built in 1860, but it was rebuild again and particularly this one was opened in 1919 so it's nearly 100 years old!  




One of my favorite spots and main landmark in Helsinki city  -  Helsinki Cathedral. 
The church was originally built from 1830-1852 as a tribute to the Grand Duke of FinlandTsar Nicholas I of Russia.
 It was also known as St Nicholas' Church until the independence of Finland in 1917.




Lovely detail - operating tram network, main transport in city centre. 




Beautiful scandinavian city. 












And of course cup of lovely coffee :) 



Hope you will enjoy your walk in Helsinki as I did :)

Lovely Afternoon in Cawsand




Cawsand Village, Cornwall



Do you want to fall in love with Cornwall? If you do- you should really see this small village on coast with amazing beach. 
Just catch the ferry from Mayflower Steps in Plymouth, Barbican. Enjoy 20 min sail across the bay and you are there. 




Cawsand ferry runs every 30 min every day. Even if you are a bit late- just have a cup of coffee on Barbican:)









My favorite little red ferry sails across our bay to Cawsand :)






This lovely colorful old bus stop will meet you right on Cawsand beach :) 





Cawsand village is situated on the Rame Peninsula which is called as Forgotten Corner of Cornwall :) 





There are actually two twin villages- Cawsand and Kingsand and it's basically 10 minutes walk between those two with lovely cafeterias and small pub on your way  :) 





Guess who you can find in the water ? :)

















Usually I just sat there with a good book and enjoy my time at this peaceful place:)







There is no big history at this place, except the fact that  Cawsand Ford and 10 guns above the village, which were covering Plymouth breakwater in 1779, but unfortunately I don't know much about it. 
 However there are very nice people living there and amazing view, wonderful narrow streets and street signs in Cornish :)








I hope you will have a lovely day in Cawsand:)
