90th month aka 7th year & 6 month anniversary gift from RJ
Yep, my 90th month gift from RJ was a surprise cruise to Helsinki over the weekend!
I woke up one morning as usual, was checking my email and saw this surprise email which RJ sent me, it is our penultimate trip to Helsinki - capital of Finland!
Thanks to the weather, it was sunny and hot that weekend! Woooh!
Our own private cabin on the Viking Line cruise ship - Mariella
Fantastic and awesome view of the archipelago on the top deck
Max burger for the night, yummy yummy! And chilli cheese fries too, ok only, still prefer KFC's cheese fries!
We had some vodka in the pub. since we reckoned that no one will recognise us, we did one dance after mastering enough courage to walk to the dancefloor, I think we are one of the stiffest pair of dancers among them..haha...
Some duty-free spanish red wine for the night...
Finally Helsinki is in sight! Aye Aye Aye!
The Senate Square and Cathedral in the background
Rise and shine for a day in Helsinki
Perhaps due to the influence from Russia, they are selling Russian dolls as Finland's souvenirs, RJ simply enjoys dissectin' these dolls and he is in awe when he discovers that there is another smaller doll inside each doll...haha, just like a kid!
Open air market at the Helsinki port
Love this pair of woolen socks but they are wayyyy too expensive..:(
Our preciously found 2 Euro bicycles, kind of scary to cycle around with these 2 broken bics.
And guess what we found at Kamppi shopping mall, Singapore wok and guess what they sell?!?!
Char Kway Tiao!
Despite costing a whooping 10 EURO per dish, we still settled down for it, we simply just cannot resist the temptation!
Me adding loads of small red chilli!
Yes, the spicer the merrier!
RJ's artistic shot of Kamppi shopping mall
Temppeliaukio Church, a church that is carved out from the rocks, pretty amazing!
The weather was so hot, we sat down for an ice cafe latte and raspberry ice-cream at the oldest cafe in Helsinki - Cafe Ekberg to coool down...
Treated RJ to Food Garden the a-la-carte restaurant on-deck..
He had duck breast in blackcurrant sauce
Fried lemon sole fish with potatoes for me!
And a final stop to the duty-free shop for some cidar, vodka chocolate and RJ's long sought-after CK men's perfume - In2U
