Travel to Turku
Today we travelled from Helsinki to Turku by train. And we finally saw the sun again :)
More to come later ....
And here is the journal entry :)
In the morning we got up "late" (around 9) and went to eat some breakfast and after that packed our bags. Today we were going to leave Helsinki (Vantaa) and travel by train to Turku. We first took the train to Helsinki and in Helsinki we bought our tickets to Turku. Since we had some time we drank a coffee/tea at the station and Inge was very happy with her first rooibos tea since arriving in Finland.
From the train we could see some more from Finland: trees, farmland, trees, wooden houses, trees, some lakes and trees :) Today was a cloudy day but luckily there was no rain.
When we arrived in Turku we first had to get a bus to the market place and from there we could get a bus to the hostel.
After bringing our bags to the room. We went to the supermarket to get some food, this was a 10 min walk from the hostel. Later in the afternoon the sun came out and we enjoyed the sun when we went for a walk in the forest next to the hostel.
The hostel is a Christian Institute that is a hostel from may to september. They have an indoor swimming pool and sauna, that are available in the evenings, separate times for woman and man.
They also have a tv room and computers with internet acces, but when we were there one of them wasn't working.
The hostel is located next to the forest, wich is very nice. The view from our room was of the forest.
One thing that was not as good is the kitchen, it is clean but there was only one pan and even that one disappeared.
