Doesn’t this look like a dish from a fairy tale? On my recent trip to Helsinki we went to a Lapland restaurant called Lappi. We had reindeer, moose, salmon, tons of berries, smoked fish. Was very odd and I think I never ate that much meat for a dinner.

We started off with an vodka berries aperitif, above you see the appetizer Lappish plate for two and for the main course Lappish game selection for two:

Emm .. BWOAH!

And coffee afterward to calm down the stomach. Over there they have these wooden cups which last for 50 years or so but do cost 45 Euros. Tempted to buy a cup but the coffee did taste kind of woody.

Reindeer, anyone .. ? Hey, stop munching on Rudolph!!!!

I’m a bad bad blogger .. feel guilty that I haven’t updated in such a long time. I did do some tweeting. So next time it is pretty calm on RGS you will probably find out on twitter why. So do please follow me.

Where was I? Well, just got back from a photo job in Helsinki. It’s a fun city but just way too cold. It was as cold there than it was in December in Valencia. I just can guess how cold it can get during the winter months.

It was very odd too that it stays so long bright out and in June it will almost stay light all night. But then again in winter it will stay dark almost all the time. Very depressing.

Food wise it was pretty interesting. Tons of interesting breads and I went to a Lapland restaurant and had Moos and Reindeer .. (sorry Rudolph). They also have tons of different berries.

There is tons to do and to see in Helsinki. We just had time to walk around a little and took a boat ride out to the world biggest fortress island.

Helsinki is cool I might visit again. I might even dare coming back in winter. Brrrrr!

On an other note. Please keep me in mind if you need a congress photographer. Worldwide
