Boarded a cruise for the first time in my (adult?) life and was genuinely impressed by the sun deck, which you would have know that I've spent quite an amount of time on it. First night's dinner was pre-cooked and we had it at, surprise surprise, the sun deck, with some beer of course. Getting the Jim Beam for the night was definitely a good decision: seeing the usually quiet Sho got dead drunk and high, and also had a chance to talk shit with Song En while counting shooting stars. Maybe it wasn't that good a decision for Xiangyu when I left her with two drunk guy in the cabin haha.
Breakfast was awesome with bacon!! Then off we go to Helsinki. Took a ferry to the UNESCO heritage site, Suomenlinna and was greeted with a beautiful castle/fort. Walked the area before we ferried back to get lunch (reindeer meat!). Then we went to this ulu part of the city to find Sho's Moomin (I don't even know what it is) mugs to add to his family collection. After a visit to a really beautiful church and a lame statue, we headed back for our ship cos that's really about it for Helsinki...
Dinner was really awesome, though it was also the most expensive one I've ever paid for; but it's quite worth it, on Swedish-standards. Back to counting stars on an insomnia night after splurging in the tax-free shop and we're back in Stockholm.
More trips are coming!
