I had the most adorable day in Helsinki yesterday. I woke up to my friend Jamie from England calling asking if I wanted to get off the ship. I always want to get off the ship. I met her and another Brit, Christina, on the gangway and we boarded the shuttle for Helsinki. Jamie planned to show us all the great shopping - and boy did she. Gentlemen, this part of the entry gets a little unbearable for you. We hit up all of these little shops I'd never heard of like Gina's, Mango, and then there was Zara and H&M which I was familiar with. I spent way too much money, but it sure felt nice to treat myself. A nice blue top from this Mango place, a new teal dress for formal night from Zara, a skirt for Sizzle in Gina's and a few odds and ends in H&M. I was shocked at myself, buying dresses and skirts and even picking out pink items to try on! What are these Europeans doing to me!?
After we shopped we dropped at this little sidewalk cafe for a pitcher of some of the best sangria I'd ever had. We put on our big sunglasses and sat back enjoying the charm of Helsinki. It was a such a sweet moment we had a passerby take our picture.
Today is the first day back to St. Petersburg. I'm out of money, so no shuttle ticket for this girl. It wasn't too bad hanging out on the ship and sleeping in. Tonight we're having a Casino Night. I won't be participating, but it can't hurt to enjoy a drink and watch my friends waste their money, right?
