Espoo & Helsinki, Finland

Our next adventure begins...finding our hotel. ---- The frozen archipelago

Helsinki's central rail station ----- One of the few bus stops we landed at trying to find our way to our hotel. We finally
made it after a few hours...finally!

We tried to go to a game in Helsinki, but it was sold out..the first game all season ---- 2 tickets, anyone? How can they not have any scalpers??

Here's our room at the Radisson Inn in Espoo

Our venture to the bus stop...on our way to Helsinki ----- One of the many ice rinks in Helsinki

There's an interesting fire truck. Bright! ------ On our tour through the city, but found another rink where a bunch of kids teams were playing Bandy.

Bandy appears to be a cross between ice and roller hockey with a bit of soccer. Looked fun.

It's hard to tell, but that's the Olympic stadium ---- A soccer field next to the stadium

I'm guessing that sign says "Don't wear a white shirt with a big red 'X' on it and walk out on the ice" --- Downtown Helsinki

Espoo Blues vs TPS Turku

Lansiauto Arena, home of the Espoo Blues

Espoo is wearing blue, Turku white ---- One player on each team was wearing a gold helmet

Mike Ribiero of the Montreal Canadiens

After a goal is scored this section of the arena goes nuts

Espoo & Turku After the game

Here I am out on the archipelago making a snow angel ---- Posing in front of a buoy

I would've loved to have tried that, para-skiing ---- A crack in the ice
