We arrived in Helsinki at 10 in the morning, a much more respectable time!! We managed to find a map and decided it was close enough to walk from the ferry port to the centre. This meant we got to see a bit of the town as well. We were wandering through the back streets and found ourselves in front of the cathedral which was out of this world. Just from that sight alone we all decided Helsinki was the most amazing place we'd seen so far. We walked around to ge...

When we boarded our sleeper train we were excited to find we were staying in triple bunk cushettes. We were lucky enough to have the whole six birth cabin to ourselves. However the excitement was short lived when we tried to sleep. For all you Harry Potter lovers we felt like we were on the night bus! We were being thrown around in our beds, but thankfully there were nets to catch us! It goes without saying that Tom had no problems sleeping while me and Sarah ...

As a result, this entry is coming directly from the dark waters of the north sea! After a long days travel we clambered aboard to explore the boat before setting sail for Esbjerg 20 minutes early. After our exploration was complete (it didn't take that long), we went in search of ...

Harwich. This is our last stop before we set sail off into the night for foreign shores. We successfully negotiated London and the tube with backpacks crashing into commuters, and had our last cultural meal (McDonalds). Surprisingly, the trains have been very efficient so hopefully these foreigners can string a journey together as well as us Brits(?!!). Harwich itself.... well it's a room with chairs in, dumped in the middle of an industrial estate. Still, the...
