Summer town Porvoo

September 24, 2021September 24, 2021 / Sirri / 1 Comment

Porvoo is a charming town in Finland. I’ll write about my recent visit to Haikko (near Porvoo) next week, but this week I want to reblog my own post about Porvoo. No point in repeating myself too much, it still looks much the same anyway – old and lovely.

Outlander tour – missing the story

January 29, 2020October 22, 2020 / Sirri / 6 Comments

The ruin of the Linlithgow Palace is an interesting and fun day trip destination and there is a great Tearoom in the town.
