Today we finally got our luggage back from KLM! It was great to have a change of clothes and more diapers for Jasper. Once we got the luggage sorted out, we were able to leave the apartment to explore downtown Helsinki.

We took the tram downtown and walked around. It was a nice sunny day, but the sun started to set around 3:00 pm.

We saw the major sights, the two big cathedrals and the harbour and then stopped at a cafe for a coffee and a snack. The cafe was well equipped for babies and kids, with many high chairs and a play area for little ones.

We went back to the Ice Hall for the first game of the day, Sweden vs. USA at 4 pm. There were tons of Sweden fans there, and most Canadians seemed to be cheering for Sweden too. Sweden won, so everyone was happy except for a few Americans in the stands.

| Shoulder ride...watch out for flying pucks! |
Our seats were pretty close to the ice today, about six rows up behind one of the benches. There was one close call when a stray puck landed right in the row behind us.
After a break for a sushi dinner, we were back at the arena for Canada vs. Denmark at 8 pm. Denmark surprised everyone by scoring the first goal, but Canada ended up winning 6-1. The Danish goalie took quite the beating, and he was named player of the game for the Danes.
