May Day in Turku –part 1
It was May Day (1st of May) when we went to Turku, Finland. Our road travel went well. At least my daughter did not experience the nausea and stomach pain she went through when we went to Tampere last Easter. It took us a little over 2 hours drive from Pori where we left early in the morning so we can spend the whole day in this city while waiting for our departure time to Stockholm which was in the evening. This was our first trip to Turku.
Because this family getaway was not really planned (it was a sudden decision) it slipped from our mind that offices were closed during this public holiday especially the Tourist Information where I was planning to visit to get a copy of Turku travel map and some advice for a one day visit here. I had a brochure of Turku though but it was not so much helpful for us coz the sights where the kids wanted to visit are to be traveled by ferry or are closed due to the holiday.
To be continued…
