We arrived in Helsinki aboard the 30 hour 1100 km ferry from Germany. A very smooth crossing.

Waiting to board
|
Our ride from Bad Segeberg was full of twists and turns and had us on our navigational tiptoes. We also weren’t able to find anywhere to have coffee until we were almost at the ferry port. We sat outdoors at a very pleasant cafe run by an even more pleasant woman.

| Where are we again? |
Waiting at the ferry port was slightly tedious as we sat there for hours and hours and hours. Once aboard, we’re headed to our cabins as it was 1.00pm.
The next morning we enjoyed a buffet breakfast of considerable proportions and spent the rest of the day playing cards on and off, both 500 and wizard. I think we were pretty noisy. Card playing was punctuated By lunch and dinner followed later. More cards then off to bed.
Up for an early breakfast, then packing our panties and heading down to where our bikes were housed on the ferry. We rode 22 km approximately to our hotel and really only got lost once. Our navigation systems were telling us we are only 100 m away from the hotel, but we couldn’t see it. The reason we couldn’t see it is because being in Helsinki is like being in a forest. It’s difficult to believe her in the middle of a city as there are just trees everywhere.
Off to the laundromat of course in the afternoon after we checked into the hotel. We visited the most enormous supermarket I have ever been in. It’s sold everything from fishing gear to electrical goods to food to linen and things for the house and clothing. Literally a one stop shop.
