Ger Ger did not have to spring out of bed the next morning, not because the breakfast buffet opened late, but because she was woken up by the underground metro. She was a light sleeper. Despite the dull and constant vibration, the hotel was worth staying over.

Breakfast was served in a very large dining hall with very tall ceilings.

After breakfast, she began exploring the city.

As it was a rainy day, she entered into a museum, something that she was not too fond of doing, but since a museum conveniently presented itself in front of her, naturally she stepped into it.

The museum of design turned out to be a pretty amusing place. She was most impressed by the concept of design as a means to enhance the usability and utility of a product, rather than the aesthetic value of it.

After the museum, she stumbled upon an indoor market.

Rain was persistent. She entered another museum. This one tells the story and history of Helsinki.

After the museum, she decided to sail to a neighbouring city, in hope that the rain would not follow her.

The first thing she did once on board the cruise ship was to nap.

Waking up refreshed, she walked around the ship.

When dinner time came, she went to her assigned seat, booked by her secretary Wanchain.

Too full to do anything after the buffet dinner, she retreated to her room to watch tv.
