Learned one valuable lesson in Scandinavia: Purchase an international data plan for the duration of the trip. Helsinki does a very good job a providing Wifi. Forget about the stooges that run Stockholm. Wound up at Clao! Caffe so I could sit down for a bit and get caught up with Unilocal and other news while my wife headed off check out the shops. The ice-cream was good but the wifi was better. Great seating in and around the shop. There was a decent flow of people placing orders and moving on.

Ciao’s okay. They have a great salad deal at lunch time — 8 euro for an everything-you-want salad bar. Downside: salad’s not that great. Their ice cream is outstanding. Go for that. 5 stars for ice cream, 3 stars for salad. 10 stars for being in a location where my kid and all the other ones running around can scream for days without anyone caring. Seriously, though: eat the ice cream. As much of it as you want. It’s all delicious and their espresso isn’t bad either.

This is a fun place to grab a drink or some ice cream. Everything is good but a bit heavy on the price. Still I like dropping by every once and a while. Try my favorite, the ‘Jamaica’ gelato smoothie, so good.
