| Kamppi - Chapel |

| Chapel from inside |
Today the 3 of us met at Kamppi Centre around 10 am. We first went to the Kamppi - Chapel which is located right there.
The Chapel of silence is supposed to be a place of silence in the capital city. There are no services or ceremonies held inside, this is only for individual people wanting some silence.
It was planned by the architects Kimmo Lintula, Niko Sirola and Mikko Summanen and it won "The Chicago Athenaeum International Architecture Award 2010".
It is opened every day, Mon - Fri 7am - 8pm and Sat + Sun 10am - 6pm. The entrance is free.

We went through some small streets and went to a market place in a building with delicious looking foods inside. I got some green tea.
We then went along the water, to get to the Orthodox Cathedral.
 |
The orthodox church is sadly closed on Mondays, thus we couldn't go inside, but the outside view was also great and there was a mini waterfall on one side of it.
We had a small lunch (me : strawberry-banana smoothie and a cheese sandwich) at Kamppi centre in "Beanie". It was really great, and they press their apple juice directly which tastes wonderful!

We went to a cathedral which was build in Stone, it looks great and from the inside you would never think there is a church inside. There is also a "normal" piano inside, and the sound is awesome!
The entrance is free (WC is 1€) and it is opened every day.

Near Kamppi centre we found a small Japanese store "Tokyokan" and we got some Ramune there :D
After we sat down near the Chapel of silence and we wrote some postcards.
For dinner we had Sushi a little outside of Helsinki, the 3 of us had a medium menu with tea. It was really yummy, my veggie menu was great too! The train tickets in Helsinki for one hour were 2,50€ each.
After dinner we got some sweet drinks "King Kong Coffee" and "Banana Cowboy" if I remember correctly.
The last thing we did today was going to a K market where I got Moomin Tea, Liquorice from Moomin and Angry Birds (which I will share with some of my pen pals) and Angry Birds chewing gum.
