The tour to Helsinki Highlights and Suomenlinna Unesco World Heritage site was an enormous experience! 
The weather was warm and our host Arja provided us a tour to Suomenlinna fortress, guiding us professionally.

The Finnish Housing Fair  for year 2022 were held in Naantali town, near Turku. We spent one day there.
Picture
 It's July, but weather in Salo is chilly.
Picture
 Naantali housing fair was built near sea shoreline, into a pine forest.
Picture
It may take some years until the nature restores it's normal state
Picture
One of our interests was to find a solution for our summer cottage fire site
Picture
JukkaTalo's Taukonuotio (do not bother to try to buy this, JukkaTalo went to bankrupty)
Picture
Trying to save the insects with this kind of "nests"
Picture
After Naantali, we drove to Turku town. On the old prison area "Kakolanmäki" you can find a short train lifting you up to the yard from the street.
Picture
This train uphill has suffered from bad quality and malfunctions
Picture
Picture
Turku town had not protected the Funikular guiding displays, so some pranksters had found the net address and hijacked them. Nowadays this has been repaired.

​Baltic Herrings a delicious freshly smoked. This is the oven taht is used to smoke the fish.

Smoke oven from inside. The herrings are placed into steel rods through their heads, so that the dripping grease drops down.

 Before you place the herring into the rods, you need to remove the inner guts of them.
