**Time to do some catching up.... excuse the lazy commentary hehe. At least I added captions to all the albums!**
The final stop on my little stint through Scandinavia. Visible in both the architecture of the buildings and various parts of the city, Helsinki has its own unique feel; a product of both Swedish and Russian influences in its past. We didn't really end up spending too much time here, opting instead for the little side trip to Estonia... but we did manage to do a fair bit of sightseeing and just chillin' in the beautiful summer weather. Helsinki may not be as beautiful as many of the cities in Norway, but at least the freakin' sun shines here!!
A short 1.5 hour across the water from Helsinki, our little trip to Talinn turned out to be one of the best decisions we ended up making on this trip. Much like many of the other great cities we've encountered along the trip, this one was a neat mix of medieval architecture and modern buildings standing side-by-side. Throw in the beautiful inhabitants, and you got a real winner on your hands.
I took these final pictures as our plane flew over the eastern coast of Greenland. I was actually in the middle of a fairly-crappy HK triad movie when the pilot made the announcement and boy am I glad I actually decided to open the window.... wow!! Unbelievably beautiful. Greenland is definitely going to be added to my "places to see"-list.
