I’m just back at my desk after three weeks of travel with my family in Europe.
We started with a fortnight in Scotland, visiting friends and relatives in the Outer Hebrides and Edinburgh, and then to break up the long trip back to Australia we spent a few days in Helsinki. What a wonderful city! We loved the friendly people, the beautiful food, and the fantastic architecture. I’m definitely keen to visit again in future.
If you ever find yourself in Helsinki, we would highly recommend the hotel we stayed in: Hotel Katajanokka.

The hotel also has a wonderful restaurant, spacious rooms and a fascinating history – it was a great find!
