May Day in Turku –part 3
Continued from May Day in Turku –part 2
As we moved around downtown area, taking pictures of different sights, we noticed that most people wear white cruiser captain caps. Because of this, the kids were so excited to have one. It would as well be a nice souvenir of our trip here. We went to the market square to see if we can find this cap. Unfortunately we couldn’t find one in the shops.
I was surprised to see different nationalities and tourists here in Turku, and some foreign sellers who can speak Finnish. You can see the internationality of the people here perhaps because of the sea port. It was a different scenario in Pori.
The market place was crowded because of the holiday. There was even one pizza shop lined with people waiting to get in. They are running out of seats eh. The pizza here must be delicious. Later in the afternoon we ordered pizza from this shop for take away. We plan to munch this nice smelling pizza in our ship liner, Viking Lines, as we start our cruise to Stockholm. We now bid goodbye to downtown Turku and drove back to Viking Lines port for another travel experience.
