Ivalo to Helsinki, Finland - Thursday, May 9, 2019

Ivalo Airport, Finland - I wish all airports were these small!   It was a beautiful day for flying!

Weather in Helsinki was perfect when we arrived so after checking into our hotel located in a perfect area, we went out walking around town and had a very good pizza dinner.

Area around our hotel Grand Marina - there is actually a sauna in one of the cars on this ferris wheel - that's how much those Finns' love their saunas!

Beautiful Uspenski Cathedral sits up  on a hillside of the Katanjnokka peninsula overlooking Helsinki.  It's the largest orthodox church in Western Europe built in 1868


George greets you from "My Helsinki" in front of the Helsinki Train Station.

Leaving Helsinki flying over the Baltic heading home - well, first stop is the Paris DeGaulle Airport then Detroit
