Day 19
What I really wanted was to take
the train all the way from Copenhagen to Helsinki, passing through the Arctic
Circle. But I didn’t have the luxury of time to do that. So, I decided to
travel by ferry to Helsinki. I spent the entire day travelling… soaking up the
view of the Scandinavian countryside while on the train.
I took the 6:40 train from København H to
Malmö C and then the SJ Snabbtåg train (65 SEK) from Malmö to Stockholm. From Stockholm, I took the Viking Line ferry to Helsinki. Stockholm-Stadsgården, the port of departure was two metro stations away from Stockholm Central Station.
I had to exchange some Euros to Swedish Kroners so I could take the metro to the port. Sad to say, the metro was practically the only part of
Stockholm that I got to explore. From T-Centralen T-bana, I got off Slussen
T-bana and walked about a kilometer to the terminal.
At 4:45 in the afternoon, M/S Mariella, my ferry, left the harbor and I found myself at the top deck, overlooking the view
of Stockholm. There were plenty of things to do at the cruise ship but I opted
to rest at my 2 person cabin with showers and bathroom ensuite (55€ with Eurail
Pass discount). When I woke up, I was energetic
and ready for Helsinki!
