There was another one of those free-admission days at the zoo in Helsinki. We decided to go there, but apparently so did half of Helsinki. The roads were blocked by so many cars, we were stuck in traffic even though we were two islands away from the island the zoo is located on. To avoid the masses of people, my roommate had the idea to visit Seurasaari Island instead. Seurasaari is basically an Open-Air Museum, which consists of old, mainly wooden buildings transplanted from elsewhere in Finland and placed in the dense forest landscape of the island. It is simply beautiful. If you ever want to take nice long walks, see some of Finnland's history and watch countless birds and eager squirrels, this is the place to go! This will be one of those posts where I let the photos speak instead of my words. I'm simply in love with this island! I could hardly choose which photos I wanted to show you.
