Surprise! We're back in Finland! After a long overnight flight from Toronto to Helsinki with Finnair we arrived and checked into the Katajanokka Hotel (Jail Hotel) nearby the market square.

Along the way we noticed several things have changed in the city! Firstly, in the market square port area there is the addition of the impressive new Ferris Wheel (or Observation Wheel) called the Finnair Sky Wheel. Also, as we traipsed downtown we noticed people eating their lunch in the sky! This massive crane lifts people into the air where they can eat their meal with impressive views over the city. Officially it is called 'dinner in the sky.'

With sweat pouring down our foreheads we decided to take a rest and attempt to get over our jet lag - neither of us slept well on the flight for some reason. Checking in at over 30 degrees it was the hottest day we've ever experienced in Finland.

After catching some much needed rest we joined a group of bloggers boarding a ferry bound for the recently opened island of Lonna. Lonna island, formerly a military island, is a quaint little island located nearby Suomenlinna.

For dinner we enjoyed typical Finnish summer dishes including grilled fish, potatoes and various kinds of vegetables.

Overall, it was the perfect way for us to spend our first day back in Finland and with a good night's sleep we'll be ready to hit the ground running tomorrow :)
