Let me just begin by saying, what they call a "ferry" is what we call a cruise ship. I am NOT kidding. That being said, we got stamps at passport control and took off on our mini-cruise in no time. Well, we had to get up at 5:45 in the morning, take a train from Turku to Helsinki and THEN hop on, but you know what we mean. So, for the most part we stared off into oblivion b/c we were still exhausted. Upon arrival we got to the passport control and ...

Our first full day in Turku proved to be a full one. We got up, had breakfast and then headed out to find the Silja cruse line headquarters to book our "sunset crusie" to Stockhölm. Which is actually kind of ironic considering the sun doesn't really set at this time of the year. And sort of sucks for two insomniacs trying to travel. So this was also where we found that there were no pay phones in Turku (officially). We did however, manage to boo...

A Day at the Market: We got up at 12:10pm, entirely on accident. Especially since check out was at 12:00pm. The people up front were great about it though. So we locked up our luggage and took off to the train station to book our transit to Turku, Finland. We took the tram there and quickly found that there was no need to book. Upside, we knew and could move on. So we had lunch at Baquette, Co. which quite possibly may be our favorite place to eat in Finla...

Let me begin with saying that almost from the moment we got our bags, we were in trouble. We found an information booth and the nice young gentleman kindly directed us to take the 615 bus to the main station and then take tram 4 to a street called Lanninkatu (we have since discovered that "-katu" is Finnish for "street")... So, after spending 20 minutes standing in front of the airport looking around for our bus, Jana finally located it. T...

Okay, so we were totally excited getting off the plane. We got to ride in"comfort seats" aka, business class. We had checked in at BWI and apparently the guy checking us in checked us out and found us worthy b/c let me tell you, "comfort seats" ROCK! So we got in to Reykjavik, Iceland and it was sort of.... anti-climactic. We walked for five minutes down terminals before we came anywhere near an official. It was another five before we got...
