Week 35 - A day trip to Helsinki

This week me and my mother found really cheep bus tickets to Helsinki and off we went. We had planned to go to see an art exhibition, a photo museum and go eating, so we left Carlotta at home with my father. I think she had a nicer day there. They went to Kotka to the library and to Subway, so she was very happy with this solution. We had a nice day in Helsinki, although the weather was rainy. We didn't manage to get to the photo museum, as it turned out to be too complicated to get there, we didn't even find the place where the tram was supposed to stop and we started getting hungry already, so first of all we went to a cafe to have lunch. We took a big salad each and shared a vegetable lasagne. Very nice. Then we went to the nearby Sanomatalo, where they make the Helsinki newspaper and saw a photography exhibition there instead. Very impressing newspaper photos, some of them from war situations and miserable conditions from different parts of the world. There also were amazing sport photos. We had a nice coffee there while we were waiting for the next rain shower to pass. Then we went to see an art exhibition. It was Hilma af Klint. She was a Swedish artis who painted abstract art years before Kandinsky. Interesting. After that we had some shopping time at Stockmann before our bus left back to Kotka.
This was my third time this summer in Helsinki.
