We noticed a nice old wooden ferry boat traveling up and down our canal the last few months and we discovered it went to an island nearby with beaches and a restaurant.
We hopped on the ferry for a ride last Sunday and had lunch on a shady terrace among the trees, and then walked along the paths and rocks. The ferries to Tallin pass so close you can feel the engines humming before you see them pass above the treetops. The Finns appear to love stretching out on the rocks as much as the sand, and so we did the same, though without any padding not for too long. Just fifteen minutes from home and such a different world - you can see Helsinki in the bottom picture and our neighborhood is just beyond that port. A perfect summer outing.
