We docked in Helsinki at 8:00am in the rain, we were here 4 years ago and it rained then too. By the time we had finished breakfast the rain had stopped but still looked threatening. Because we didn't have any Euros left and there was no ATM on the pier we walked into Helsinki which took about fifty minutes While we were in the market the rain started again so we had coffee and waited for it to stop. It did stop for a while but not for long and then it became very steady and we were able to try out our new coats which worked very well. As we had been here before and the cobble streets were very slippery we decided to catch a bus back to the ship but not before Di bought a pair of Crocs from the Croc shop. We waited a long time for the bus but at least the sun was shining. It only took fifteen minutes to get back and we had time for a quick late lunch before Di went for a well deserved massage. We ended up in the Sports Bar to watch our departure and were joined by Judith and John (feeling much improved). We all moved on to the Dazzle Lounge to watch a very good band and then onto to the Observation Lounge for some jazz (while Judith an John ate dinner) and back to join them for dancing and music at the Dazzle. Once again exhausted fell into bed.
