Riverside Markets

Every April & October in Turku, we are treated to a riverside market.  In April it is the Saaristomarkkinat and October is Silakkamarkkinat. Saaristo is the Archipelago so everything has a link to the local islands. Silakka are herring... so October is the fish market. In theory each has it's own speciality but in fact we often see the same stalls at both; but we enjoy it, anyway. 

Monkey took some of these pictures... learning about photography! They are from April's market.
