Finland: day 6

When Josh was a missionary in the Czech Republic he fell in love with public transportation. 
In honor of his love he planned an outing to Suomenlinna (Finland's Castle).
Here we are waiting for our 24 hour day pass-good for all your Helsinki travel needs-to be purchased. We took a train, tram, and ferry.

We transferred to our tram at "the famous Helsinki train station."



Waiting for the tram.



Holding on for dear life on the tram.



We had half an hour before our ferry left.
So we had reindeer meatballs.



And ice cream cones.



And Popsicle.



Here's the ferry.



And here's our destination: Suomenlinna.



Where Tuck lost his pants.



And it was hot.



But the fortress was beautiful and fun to explore.


















My parents have some mission friends who also have a daughter and son in law visiting.
We explored together.



And Jonah ate their chips.



There are over 100 cannons in Suomenlinna.












We had to take the ferry, tram, and train back to the yellow hotel.
We finished the day off with a visit to The 3 Smiths.
