Clang, Clang, Clang Went The Trolley
A bit of a change of plan today. Our trip to Central Finland was thwarted by illness in our designated driver, and it's too hot and long a drive to take a chance!
Instead, we nipped into town to see the shiny metal balls, which have featured in this photostream before.
Whilst out, we bought fabulous coffee and interesting jaffa cakes, and I had my Hesburger inauguration.
To my great sadness, Carroll's burgers, one of my favourite reasons to come to Helsinki, have now closed their remaining few branches, and the Carroll's megaclub is no more.
Instead, my only alternative was to risk a Hesburger Megaburger. Blessedly it turned out to be a near identical offering, though perhaps not quite as fabulous. I shall try another next time to further assess them.
On the way out from Stockmann we saw this lovely old tram, which was clearly pulling some kind of special charter as it's a historic vehicle, equivalent to a vintage loco if you will.
Today I declare it to be slightly warmer than yesterday and massively more humid. Being outside was not a huge amount of fun. Original public domain image from Flickr
