Stockholm . Helsinki

Stockholm is a beautiful city, Helsinki is a very compact city... it was still snowing when we were up in Stockholm!

Started the trip from Karlskrona to Stockholm..Then boarded the cruise ship...
My travelling companions..
Some view along the 16 hr overnight cruise..
And we reached Helsinki! This is at the market sq..
Walking around Helsinki..
Took a 10min ferry to Suomenlinna Island, which is famous for its fortress..

Met some Singaporeans who were working in London..

Back to mainland, to the Temppeliaukio Church. The interior walls are created naturally by the rocks.
Took the cruise back to Stockholm. Beautiful architecture..

Visited the VASA museum, which houses the VASA ship that sunk on its maiden voyage. It was only recovered 300 yrs after it sunk.


Also visited Gamla Stan, a medieval old town with 17th century buildings..
