DOUBLE DUCK 634 WORLD TOUR

[FOXY]

After returning to Moscow we had a short working week before heading out Helsinki for another long weekend trip.

In Helsinki we arrived just in time for an Italian dinner…

[FOXY]

Friday was spend wandering around, shopping and taking the occasional flower picture…

[FOXY]

Dinner was Asian-Fusion with drinks upfront!

We went for the menu…

The restaurant was maybe a bit showy, but the food was interesting and solid in quality.

On Saturday we had a bit more time for flowers & architecture…

Which brings us the day's dinner at Chef & Sommelier - an exceptional and tiny, little restaurant hidden away in Helsinki…

[FOXY]

The wine pairing wasn't bad, either…

Here's the proud chef:

Certainly worth the 2 Michelin stars!

On Sunday we had the chance to take a glimpse at 2 of my favorite Cranach's…

And other masterpieces…

Excellent stuff, Mr Fox Hound.

[FOXY]

Thanks!

Last weekend we went to Saint Petersburg.
As the weather was bad we spent most of the time indoors and in museums.

Here we are at The Hermitage - one of the greatest art collection there is.

Since I've been here before I focused on the more random sections of the palace…like their Asian collection.
