Bike ride to Seurasaari - 8 Nov

On Sunday afternoon I rode to Seurasaari, an island west of the centre of Helsinki. The island is scattered with traditional 18th and 19th century houses gathered from around Finland. I met Margaret Hamilton there and we had afternoon tea. From Seurasaari I rode around the inlet to Lauttasaari then across the islands of Kaskisaari and Lehtisaari and then home.
