A Sense of Belfast

As we drove around Belfast this afternoon we saw many murals in East Belfast and Shankill Road.

Irish Sunshine

Hotel internet has been fixed (I complained) so here are some pics of people enjoying yesterday's superb weather on our along the north-west coast of Ireland and down to Belfast.

Happy travellers

Love a good wine?

Goodbye Helsinki

 We've had a fantastic few days in Helsinki and would recommend this city for a short stay. It was a convenient stop for us on our flight with Finnair from Sydney to London.

For our last morning in Helsinki we strolled a few hundred metres down the street to the Sinebrychoff Art Museum where we learnt more about the art and culture of Finland.

Sheltering with Design

2 June 2016

We appreciated being able to take refuge in the Design Museum in Helsinki when caught in an afternoon shower. 

The museum, housed in a heritage building displays many articles that represent excellent Finnish design. While we were familiar with items like Iitala and Marimekko we discovered many other Finnish items.

Our cameras got a good workout in Helsinki today.
