Great start today after gaining an hour and felt better but we all slept on the bus again. Funny to look around and find every body snoozing with their mouths agape and heads nodding around. Helsinki was small in the city and similar to all the other Baltic Towns we have seen so driving 1 hour out to Porvoo was something different. A little 1423 town of wooden buildings and the tourist sampling the chocolate in the local shop was the high light. Unfortunately we didn't buy any as it was average but we did a good test. Will wait till Belgium. An excellent lunch was provided of salad, bread, beef olives and potato cake which was a little spicy but delicious and well presented. Dessert was 2 mini fruit custard tarts. Yummy. More complaints as we sat enclosed in the restsurant in 29°heat.The best and most unusual was the Temppeliaukio Rock church carved into bedrock and all the walls were rock and the ceiling a copper cupola joined by glass to the rock. Some of the Americans nearly expired just walking up the little rise to see it. Lol.
Relaxing in our rooms as we cruise out of the port. Billy has taken a photo of my lower balcony where the lady has displayed her underwear in the sun to dry. Not the best sight but he thinks he should enter it into the photo competition. Argggh.
