As I was in St Petersburg, Russia, the easiest way is to take a train.
The service is highest quality and customs are carried out on the train, you don’t have to leave the seat.
On the trip to Helsinki I noticed that I really crossed the world from north to south.
Sydney is at latitude 33º 52´ 071 ″ South and Helsinki is 60º 10´ 27 ″ North at a distance of 15,205 KM.
It was my record for the south but not the north which is Fairbanks in Alaska latitude 64º 50´16 ″ North.
My plan was to go further north, visit Lapland and see the northern lights, but the weather forecast was not good for the next 2 or 3 weeks.
The weather here is 2 or 3 bad days for good and good means blue skies and very cold, this is because we are still at the end of summer.
In the photos with the blue sky and sun the temperature is close to 4 degrees Celsius.
Helsinki is a super organized city, easy to get around. You can really see the difference between Europe and Asia.
Looking for what to do I discovered that one of the best tours in Helsinki is to go to Tallinn in Estonia.
Just take a boat and cross the Gulf of Finland.
My camera, after 10 thousand photos, was bad so I went to buy it at the verkkokauppa store, a big computer store and found a big statue of a man peeing, very funny.
The weather got bad again so I decided to go south. Tallinn
