Day 4 - Porvoo


Today we went to Porvoo. We took a Bus from the modern art to the Porvoo Bus station. Lily prebooked the tickets for a VERY cheap price, thus it was only 2€ each for a 45 minute drive. 
When went to a Cafe / Restaurant just by the bus stop called "Cabriole", I had a Feta Sandwich with some aubergine, salad and melon plus a tea to refill as much as I want for 11,80€.  It was very delicious! They also have awesome looking cakes, which are too pretty to eat :3




 We went to the old city of Porvoo to see some shops. Everything looked really old and pretty! There were a lot of nostalgic and antique shops but of course also souvenir shops!
I went to buy postcards at "Sadunhenki" near a marketplace, they have nice and cheap ones there and also some other souvenirs!







The road lead us to a Lutheran church. The roof was rebuild in 2006 after a fire, this is why not everything is painted from the inside. The entrance is free.




















Near the church are the "devil steps", it doesn't even look like a proper way all the way through, but it was nice and calm, without any other tourist, and the houses were all very pretty!

Porvoo is the 2nd oldest town of Helsinki, which is why a lot of people go there :)
 



We walked down the hill to get to the river. It all looked nice and calm.


For lunch we went to the restaurant "zum Beispiel" (German: for example) we all had a freshly made Tomato soup wit sheep cheese for 9€, bread with oil and acetto was free. 
After we went to a sweet shop to buy loads of chocolate, my favourites are "orange" chocolate drops and rice-chocolates, the last one is made without milk and sugar and still tastes wonderful!



 We went back with a slower bus which went around the countryside of Finland, it was 12€ per person and took 1hour and 15minutes.

For dinner I got some lemonade, a cheese sandwich and a heart filled with a chocolate - milk cream. YUMMY!
