Last day and night on the cruise

We have had a lovely last day and night. Helsinki was such a pleasure after St. Petersburg. We did a Highlights tour in the morning, then spent 2 hours exploring the city on our own. We visited an amazing church built into the solid granite on which the city is based.

There are wonderful open air markets with food and handicrafts, so we had some lunch and bought a few souvenirs. Claire couldn’t resist the cute reindeer soft toy and has managed to add to her earring collection with reindeer horn earrings.

Dinner this evening was very enjoyable, we spent it with 2 of the couples that we have met on the cruise. It was great fun.
