Riding across Finland, Euro Cycle Tour

After taking a ferry from Tallin, Estonia to Helsinki, Finland, I rode 115 miles across the country to the city of Turku where I boarded an overnight ferry to Stockholm, Sweden.

So Made it to finland got on the ferry this morning at 6 a.m uh from tallinn and got off in helsinki about 8 o’clock rode through the city a little bit mostly around the perimeter but still got to take some of the sights in seems like an awesome city

Would have loved to spend more time there but just passing through i’m now riding west to a city on the west coast called turku i’m getting a ferry there tonight which will be overnight so i’ll arrive in stockholm sweden tomorrow morning About 30 miles in and just stopped for some food it’s actually my second attempt at finding food the first place i stopped at which i thought was a grocery store turned out to be a hardware store which i found out when i walked in but luckily another grocery store wasn’t too far away

So i had a sandwich a couple pastries chips soda and some oreos for meal number one There’s not much going on in this part of finland this road is pretty nice not much traffic there’s some lakes around and lots of trees i’m out about 70 miles about 40 more to go running pretty hard out there got caught out there for maybe 15 minutes or so

But i’ve got so much time before my ferry uh eight o’clock it’s only two o’clock right now and i only have about two and a half to three more hours of riding so just gonna take a break here in this bus stop take shelter from the rain and uh eat some oreos Rain let up a little bit but i don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon i actually took a little bit of a nap at that bus stop maybe about 10 or 15 minutes i had a couple late nights at the hostel this last week

And also woke up at like 4 30 this morning so i was feeling pretty tired Still raining a little bit but still rolling now at about 95 miles Made it to turku sitting along the river just outside the town eating some pizza picked up a bunch of food um from a grocery store eat some now and save the rest for the ferry i’m about a mile away from the the port um and i can board in about 30 minutes so

Just hanging out here in the meantime Boarded the ferry at about eight o’clock i spent a lot of time up on the sun deck up on the top of the ship watching as we left finland there were tons of islands in between finland and sweden and we passed right by right through the mall

So it was really nice really cool to see all those especially at sunset my dinner up there now back in my my cabin feels really good to have my own little personal space and a bed really looking forward to sleeping in here tonight um before getting an early start

Tomorrow morning we arrive in stockholm around six 6 30 a.m so it’s early but it’ll be exciting to be in another new country my 20th country of the trip and uh yeah just really looking forward to seeing what sweden is like and getting closer to norway so

Yeah pretty excited uh to continue on this part
