Intervention on Suomenlinna island, Helsinki, Finland

2
 

Booking the daily guided tour of Suomenlinna island.
Start my day at the Helsinki Market Square.
Arrive Suomenlinna by the city transport ferry with other tourists.
Take the daily guide tour at 11:00am (English) starting at the visitor center.
Follow the tour with other tourists. Remember my own impression,
surprising moments, also each standing point clearly.
Finish the tour.

and the next morning,
Go to the Helsinki Market Square early in the morning.
Arrive Suomenlinna by the city transport ferry with other tourists.
Take the daily guide tour at 11:00am (English) starting at the visitor center.
Follow the tour with other tourists. Remember my own impression,
surprising moments, also each standing point clearly.
Finish the tour.

and the next morning,
continue continue continue .... as long as possible.
Following the same route, same explanation, same surprising location, same joke of tour guide, same reaction to tour guide, same photo-shooting on locations, same pose, same postcard to write, same phrase to say on a location.

Keep the first green mind as I had on the first day.

The work was completed with the patience of the tour-guide team at Suomenlinna Visitor Center.
