Not quite the day we had planned, but as I have been telling Smallsteps, when things don't go to plan, there is room for adventure. This is because if everything goes to plan, we get just what was expected. When it doesn't, we experience and have to do things we weren't planning on.
Some of the best experiences I have had, were unplanned.
It wasn't much of an adventure today though, as Smallsteps was feeling pretty ill. This is probably as while we have tried to be careful, she has probably eaten something she shouldn't have. Allergies aren't as common here and there is no standard labelling, as there is in Finland, and there is a lot of uncertainty in the voices of wait staff, which doesn't fill us with confidence.
So, after a touch of shopping while it was raining, we went to have an early dinner at an all gluten-free restaurant. However before we even got there Smallsteps had a stomach ache. So while we ate there and the food was really good, as was the service, Smallsteps sat in my lap most of the time with her head on my shoulder.
It was nice to feel needed.
However, straight after finishing the meal abd skipping dessert, we got a taxi home instead of walking, and have been sitting in the hotel room. Now we are watching the Finland v Czech hockey game on my laptop.
The dinner restaurant was on an arty neighborhood called Telliskivi, and I took a couple photos as we walked through. We also went into the photography museum Fotografiska, which didn't have a lot but it was still nice to see some fantastic portrait photography from some different times. It was interesting to see some classic photos from the 90s and earlier, where the composition was far harder to accomplish, as there it was largely up to the photographer, with limited post-editing possible.
I took some photos of the photos.
Does that count as my own? I don't think so, but they are interspersed with others I took today. Hopefully, I will have more chance to take shots tomorrow, as we will hopefully get a chance to walk more and the restaurant we have booked for dinner is in the old town.
At least though, Smallsteps is feeling better, so maybe the plans tomorrow will go to plan. But if they don't, hopefully there will be more adventure than being back in the hotel room early, watching a screen while a foreign city waits outside.
Hope you like the shots.
