It was another of these hot days in early August, 2007. My wife and I planned to go for a picknick at Suomenlinna, with a blanket, food and everything. However the line to the ferry was simply overwhelmingly long, and after waiting for the first ferry to come and go we realized it would take about an hour until we would be aboard. Besides, with that many people going there it would be very crowded there. At the end we ended up having a picknick at Esplanadin puisto. Not a bad choice at all.
