Finally my summer holiday starts. As the saying goes: a good holiday starts with a good book, I started reading the hundred-foot journey, then had a one day trip to Porvoo on the last Saturday of May.

Departing from Helsinki, I came back to Porvoo on a sunny afternoon. Porvoo is a city on the southern coast of Finland. It takes about 1 hour to travel by bus from center of Helsinki.
Old Town in Porvoo, a tourist attraction, as usual.
A hotel so-called Onni, meaning ” happiness” in finnish language. Located in the middle of Old Town, it looks so peaceful from outside.
Man to the left because women are always right. A boutique shop in Old Town: Doris & Duke: Vintage &Modern
Old house in Old Town

1. First stop: Cellar Cafe

4. Another destination: Nepalese Restaurant Pokhara
Now there is no longer Restaurant Himchuli, but Porvoo has Pokhara

Dinner set with rice and lamb meatballs. Nan bread is included. So nice to know that Pokhara’s owner is the same one who managed Himchuli in the past.
5. Final thing to do: wandering
Statue of Johan Ludvig Runeberg , a national poet of Finland
Statue of Johannes Linnankoski, a famous Finnish author
HAAGA-HELIA Porvoo Campus from a distance. Studying and attending Start-up School there with friends before graduation was an unforgettable experience 🙂
Quiet Old Town on the weekend
Sunset by the river, few last moments before heading back to Helsinki
Great photos, but I had a hard time concentrating after seeing the one with chocolate cake. 🙂
