Today we got up really early at around 5.50 am. After a Taxi trip to the ferry (so we didn’t have to carry our bags to much) Verena already felt a little bit sick. Aside from the fact that during the trip her condition didn’t get any better the trip was great. The ferry was really big compared to the little ferries we see e.g. on the Rhine river. It had 9 decks to visit with room and car decks, different restaurants and cafés, playgrounds, casino, duty free shop, cinema etc. At around 1 o’clock we arrived at the Åland Islands with consists of more than 20.000 small islands and are already part of Finland.
At the beginning, around the islands and at the end of the trip – so you can say most of the time – the water was ice covered with snow. At the beginning we couldn’t believe that it is possible to do the trip without an ice-breaker driving in front of us. But is was amazing to see.
We arrived in Turku in time at 7.50 pm.
