Back to Helsinki

17 Sep. 2006 Helsinki



The train arrived at Helsinki at 8am. Another beautiful morning for hiking. We were planning to go on hiking at Nuuksio National Park where about 40 km away from Helsinki. Waking again? Yes we will, that is our purpose coming to Finland. Helsinki would be dead on Sunday anyway.

We checked in at a fancy hotel called Hotel Kamp. It was super different from the first place we stayed at Helsinki. Well, we enjoyed staying at Hotel Mekka as it was, but it would be nice to stay at gorgeous hotel for the last night, we thought. The room was wide and beautifully decorated, and what we loved was the bathroom. It was made of marble, there was a huge bathtub with glass standing shower, then more than that we found…


A ducky!!

I loved that! I had never expected that there would be a toy in the bathroom. Imagine that corporate executives who would stay here might play with a ducky in the bathroom! It would be kind of nice. What hospitality, Hotel Kamp. This hotel is one of the top class hotels in Helsinki, though it was not snobbish at all.



Now these excited girls need breakfast. We went down to the restaurant on site. Buffet breakfast looked pretty tempting, but we decided to order English breakfast to get ready to hike. Well, actually it was huge.



That grilled tomato and fried potato were very tasty as well as other stuff. Fresh squeezed orange juice came with the meal. It was a treat for us. Guests around there and waitresses were beautiful people. We had an elegant morning.

Now, it is time to excise!
