T+3 Days.
T+3 Days.
The dry hotel air is really disagreeing with me - I had another headache/migraine combo today. Today was going to be museum day, but instead the main achievement was making it to Kauppahalli - a popular and well known food market. There are two GF bakeries there, and an amazing cheese shop. We may have indulged a little at all three.
An early morning excursion to try and relieve my sinuses netted us some lovely shots, but the real prizes came in the afternoon, with a looming thunderstorm over the city, and some great produce shots in the Kauppahalli.
Tomorrow, the museums for sure!

A fine set of photos!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos - thanks for sharing your holiday.
ReplyDeleteAs for the dry hotel air I have a similar problem - see if you can find a cheap humidifier - I have a small USB powered one that works well enough for the small cabin's found offshore. Don't know if it'll be effective in a larger hotel room, but you could try....
Cheese!
ReplyDeleteMichael Thompson do you know where I'd find one? We've only been able locate full-size units.
ReplyDeleteSorry :-(
ReplyDeleteMine was from Zazz (online discount thingy :-( ), but I've also seen them for sale at the discount phone case shops found in the aisles at places like Carousel.
Just tried googling for you - but I can't get a clear handle on what junk USB style shops are available in Helsinki
Which leaves McGuyver type suggestions :-( http://www.instructables.com/id/Evaporative-Humidifier/
Translate tells me Finnish for humidifier is Ilmankostutin which may help. From there I found a Vicks Humidifier for 18 euro.

Doesn't appear to require oil, seems happy producing steam. You may get lucky and find one in a Chemist?
Precious few of them seem to exist here, Michael Thompson. We have not seen any $2 type shops at all, and many things we'd consider global level brands simply don't exist here - no Colgate for example. That said, there is a huge range of other brands and manufactures of almost anything!

ReplyDeleteRe: Storms ... it's all the hydroelectrics, mixing water with electricity that does it. Witness storms in Tasmania versus storms in Perth!
ReplyDeleteSorry Rob Masters. Good luck in your hunt :-(
ReplyDeleteStunning photos Rob. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteThanks joshua masters!
