A lot of walking in Helsinki
Pretty much all I did today was walk. Helsinki is a very walkable city, but I really covered a lot of ground today.
Helsinki and Suomenlinna
Today was an “Intro to Helsinki” day. Mary and I bought one-day Helsinki Cards, thinking we’d cram as many of the things the card covers as we could into one day. It was a good idea in theory, but there … Continued
Tallinn and arrival in Helsinki
Saturday, 26 May 19:30 I’m on the ferry, about an hour from docking in Helsinki. We left Tallinn about five minutes before the scheduled sailing time of 18:00, and I’ve been looking for a place to plug in my phone … Continued

From Ærø to Kalmar
It’s 5pm. I just got on the train to Kalmar. We should depart in about 10 minutes. The monitors in the station tell you which cars are going to which destinations. Not all the cars on this train are going … Continued
