8/9/02 Turku, Finland
(Phill)
Well, I spent thenight on a very nice ferry to get here. Dead cheap too, in fact the ferry was cheaper than my hostel, and much much nicer :) I´m not a big fan of Sweden. It wasnt bad but I definately preferred norway. I spent two days in Stockholm and one in Gotenberg. The Techincal Museum in Stockholm was decent though, although it was like one big ad for Ericsson.
Anyway, I´m in Turku for the morning and I´ll see the few sights here and then catch a train to Helsinki. Tomorrow I start the arduous task of getting a visa for Russia. We´re going for a week, but right now Moscow is covered in smoke from the forest fires so it ought to be interesting. I chatted to a guy last night on the boat who has a place in St Petersberg and goes there weekly and he suggested not going to Moscow. I´d really like to see Moscow though, so I´ll play it by ear.
