Sunday in Porvoo

24 octobre 2006

On Sunday, we went to Porvoo, a nice town 50 km East of Helsinki. We took the bus from Helsinki City center, but busdrivers don't speak English, so quite funny to try to be understood with our Finnish ;) Well, we managed to !
So arrived in Porvoo, we've done "Porvoo by walk" a tour that goes around the nicest places. That's really worth to visit this small town. All the houses of the old town are in wood, and many of them coloured with red ochre ... and I'm sure of that !!! I got some dye on my coat ...

Thanks to the "Guide du routard", we found a "lounas", that means a restaurant quite cheap, where you have a main dish, a self-service salad, bread and coffee or tee. These lounas are a usual place to eat, and I understand why ;)

In the afternoon, we decided to reach the sea, but after half a hour under the rain, we decided to come back. We went in a coffee. So nice decoration, with old coffee machines, tee bags and many french posters about all adds. Yes again French ...
