A little bit of Travelling at Porvoo

I visited Porvoo's old town with my friends Titta and Aura on Friday. It was wonderfully sunny day, and we went there by bus which was relatively cheap and just perfect for us! There were quite a lot of tourists already and we blended in just perfectly! :D Let the journey to the Porvoo old town begin! There is so much photos, sorry about that but I really tried to edit out. xD


Here's where it all began.



A snail on the wall! Apparently there was a restaurant there but it moved.


Tori - marketplace. I did't go to see the sales booths tho.


Alex at the museum info thinggg... We didn't go there, Titta bought some postcards from there.


I'm trying to post as many photos as I can, but not all from Alex. ^^;




The gate of Porvoo Cathedral, it's beautiful old church. Here's the Wikipedia page from it.


Inside.


I've also stood there once, I was my cousins bridesmaid when she got married.


This ship is fantastic.


Road down from the Cathedral


Many blooming appletrees around. So pretty!




We thought the toy museum would be closed but when we were at the door of the museum just checking the timetables the owner just came and asked if we wanted to go in. Of course we wanted!




The stove is so pretty! ANd with pans and all!




From 1880's. The tiny paper pictures we call "kiiltokuva", dunno what they're in english but they're so adorable. I know TheFairChildren's Meital would love some, especially if they had fluffy kittens!


Mickey Mouses plenty!


Many toys had some sort of description to whom they had belonged before and when. After the toy museum we went to have some lunch! It was about time to do that. I rarely want to have fish, but this time I actually ordered sammon and it was good. The restaurant with finnish home cooking is called Hanna-Maria and is located in quite central place at the old city, almost just when you enter the city it is right there! I've been there many times and the other time I had so good meatballs with sauce and potato mash. If I could enter the drooling Pusheen icon here I would.


Then we walked over the bridge to the other side of the river and back to the old town. These red stockhouses are one of the most photographed things here.


The Porvoo Cathedral is on top of the hill.


Anni and Lily were with me too. I think they need wiring badly! x_X it was so difficult to keep them even standing!






Some nice cake and lemonade at Cafe Helmi. (Helmi = Pearl)


For the final touch we went to Brunberg chocolate shop, and I bought everything from there. U_U So they have nothing for you anymore. Sorry.
