A whole new resolve to have fun! Suomenlinna - the Fortress Island

Isnt it wonderful if we as human beings learnt to be happy with what we have?

A truism that has perhaps been in existence since 10,000 BC :)

But not just happy with what we have, but also go beyond what we may consider as things that limit our ability to be happy, to live life fully…and that takes something…not always easy.

With this context, let me go onto what else has been happening in Finland.

Suomenlinna

The first weekend, Sapna, Aditya and I went on a short trip to a nearby island – called Suomenlinna.

Suomenlinna is just a 20 min boat ride away from the main city of Helsinki.

After a brief coffee stop to beat the cold air, we set out to explore the island on foot.

Perhaps a not entirely appropriate time to be at the island – cold winds, etc. at least it kept the tourist hordes away.

Some other nice snaps that she took at her stay at Helsinki – very beautiful! These give you the flavour of the city, the streets, churches and the local harbour.
