Snow

Today, we have been to the flea market in Helsinki (Valtteri - Vallilan makasiinit). We have rented one table for 26 EUR and sold almost all of our stuff. As you can see from the picture below there are almost more people than in the city center

Today, 5.11.2009 we had our first Snow Storm in Helsinki as you can see here:

Today, I have been to the World Village Festival in Helsinki and I think the main reason people going there is because of the variety of food you can find there e.g. Chinese, Indonesian, Cameroon, Turkish, Indian and many more.

However, this year the weather was really great. It was sunny and we had 19 C (ok if you are from a southern Country then this is not that much but for Finland it is great).

The festival is also a great opportunity if you like to find accessoirs for your outfit. You can find necklaces, rings, clothes etc. from different places in the world.

Here is a list of webcams in Finland:

Yesterday, I went to Nuuksio which is a National Park close to Espoo.

The best way to access the Park by public transport is with Bus 85 from Espoo (e.g. you can go by communter train from Helsinki to Espoo) and you have to get out at Nuuksionpää. From there it is about 2 km to the trails.

There are 3 trails where you can go:

Punarinnankierros Trail, 2 km
Haukankierros Trail, 4 km
Korpinkierros, 8 km

I chose the Haukankierros Trail as it is the fastest way to discover all highlights of the Park.

The trail itself is not that difficult. It goes a bit up and down and you have a nice view from the top of a rock to Haukkalampi and Brook Myllypuro.

Here are some pictures I made in Nuuksio Park:
