I started the day with a visit to an (R) Kiosk so I could buy a 3 day travel ticket for getting about. Having achieved this, I spent the rest of the day going round all of the Churches that I could. I started with Temppelinaukio, then got a tram to Johanneksen kirkko.
I went to Iguana and had a nice meal for lunch before then heading to look at Uspenski Katedraali, and Helsinki Katedraali.
I headed back to the supermarket to get some water for the dance class, and spent a long time trying to find some still spring water ... eventually succeeding and getting some lähdevesi, which was what I was looking for :)
Johanna had texted me to see if I wanted a lift to the class, and despite having a ticket I decided that it was a good idea to have someone show me where the place was for the first night.
The car journey there was quite hectic, as Johanna thought the class started 30 mins before it did, we got there in plenty of time. I got to finally meet Karo who had helped me
The first evening of 3 hours was very much a back to basics introduction to 5 rhythms, which was very good, and I was able to enjoy quite a deep wave for a warm up. I was definitely going to enjoy the workshop!
