Wednesday - August 15th 2018
Everyday life was stressful and so it was time for another short vacation. August 15th is a public holiday and so we took Thursday and Friday off and flew to Helsinki, Finland. Tuesday after work we drove to Munich airport where we stayed for one night at the Novotel. Our Lufthansa flight should have left Wednesday early morning, but due to technicla problems it was delayed for an hour. Around noon we arrived at Helsinki airport and from there we took the train into the city. In Helsinki we stayed at the GLO Hotel Kluuvi which was conveniently located in the city centre just a couple of minutes away from the train station. Checkin was quick and easy and soon we had our room keys. Our room was small, but nice and clean and we enjoyed our stay there.

After we checked in, we headed into the city to get something to eat. We hadn't been to McDonald's for almost ten years now, but in Finland McDonald's is offering a vegan burger and of course we had to try that. So we stopped at the nearest restaurant and ordered the burger and all I can say is, that we loved the burger. It was really good and hopefully it will make its way to Austria too. Afterwards we got some drinks at the Hard Rock Cafe to celebrate the start of our short getaway. A couple of drinks later we jsut walked around the city. On our way to the harbour we stopped at Helsinki Cathedral and at Uspenski Cathedral.

On our way back to the hotel we checked out some shops and stopped at Starbucks for coffee. Back at the hotel we refreshed and got ready for dinner. Helsinki was such a vegan friendly city and so we had many choices for dinner. However, we chose to go to O'Leary's Pub, which we already knew from Stockholm. Later we got some drinks at a bar until we returned to the hotel.
