Chillin' in Helsinki

It's been a surreal 48 hours. We flew from Singapore to Bangkok and then hopped on a 10 hour flight to Helsinki where we're spending a 24 hour layover before continuing onto our final destination.  Whew! Take that Amazing Race!  After a good night's sleep, we bundled up (Singapore was 35 degrees and Helsinki is 2 degrees) and did a little exploring around this pretty city.
