Day 12: Helsinki

We had breakfast at the hostel this morning. We walked out the door to our tram stop and rode it to the Senate square, where we switched to a tram that makes a circuit of the city. It was fun to see the city. We hopped off at one point to check out the memorial to Sibelius, the famous Finnish composer. It was really awesome. It looked like a bunch of pipes from a pipe organ. 

We got back on the tram and finished the tour. We had lunch at the market again. Everyone else had salmon soup, which was apparently some of the best soup they'd had.  I had potatoes, they were quite good. We went shopping and got these cute coasters and a wooden mug.

We got on the tram again and went to the National museum, this time it was open. It had a huge exhibit of prehistory stuff and great exhibits of a whole bunch of stuff. It was very cool. 

We then spent some  of the afternoon hanging out at the famous cafe here. It was some good people watching. We also had some fresh pastries. Then we headed back to the hostel to do some laundry. We're currently hanging out in the restaurant talking with someone we met and having a good old time.
