24 hours sunny Helsinki

We landed in Helsinki just after lunch and we found Helsinki to be a very laid back and peaceful capital. We enjoyed the 24 hours sun light and we felt like we were sleeping during the "day" even when it was actually mid-night ! We found one thing strange about Scandinavia - none of the rooms had proper (thick) curtains to block off the 24 hours sun ! Never mind.

We took time exploring the many churches in Helsinki and paid a visit to the Olavinlinna Castle - Savonlinna (one of the many lakeside towns in Finland) during our stay at the Finn Farm in Punkaharju village.
