9th September 2019
Helsinki, Finland’s southern capital, sits on a peninsula in the Gulf of Finland. Its central avenue, Mannerheimintie, is flanked by institutions including the National Museum, tracing Finnish history from the Stone Age to the present. Also on Mannerheimintie are the imposing Parliament House and Kiasma, a contemporary art museum. Ornate red-brick Uspenski Cathedral overlooks a harbour.
Today also spent on board. The morning brought the most spectacular heavy rain shower, definitely not one to be caught out in, the afternoon came out sunny, after most half drowned visitors had returned to the ship.
Enjoyed some sun on deck
Gangway closed at 10pm, extended stay, the ship stayed on in port for an inclining test to check the actual weight and stability of the ship by moving weight on the ship to incline he ship by approximately one degree, somehow clever calculations then give the answers needed. The Captain assures us we will get to Poland on time despite the delayed departure of 7.00 am tomorrow morning.
