Next pictures from TURKU, FINLAND. We visited the outside of the castle and then drove to a winery where we some soup and tasted the wines. All made without any grapes, berries and apples.





The drive up to the winery. The building was simple but the grounds were nice. Not a single grape in sight.

Next day we took a train. The most interesting thing we learned on this tour was that the Vikings stored their treasures in the ground. Even today items are dug up but if they find things they find must be turned over to the authorities. There was one area that is shown below where many treasures were found in this area where the rocks outline a Viking boat.
