Tanskasta Turkuun 20.-21.7.2011

Hi!

So, as you can guess, the night in this Hostel was horrible. The barrack was so poorly sound proofed that no other. Every single idiot walking in and out woke me up of course. So, I was more than happy when my alarm clock woke me up 5:30am. Gears up and on the road! After passing the border, pretty sun was rising and I had 650km to complete after Stockholm. Like I wrote earlier, driving through sweden was boring but have to correct that a bit, it was actually pretty nice to drive with steady pace of 110km on those very good motorways of sweden.

Shit was smelling from the farms and the major time the road was almost empty. Few breaks on the way and after 1pm I was at Stockholm. Tried to get a ticket to Helsinki ferry but it was booked. I had already Turku ticket so that was the only choice. At least I had some time to walk into town, chill there in that beautiful and warm summer day. Tip of the day: Go to the stockholm if you want to see pretty city, forget the Copenhagen.

In some point the ferry arrived and I had ticket only to the boat, so no cabin this time. Never travelled without cabin and now I have done it twice, the first and the last time. It was total pain. I read some magazine on the boat and around 1am tried to get some sleep on the wall. It was cold and uncomfortable and I woke up like every 30min. After 5 I decided that enough is enough, not gonna try anymore and there was some other passenger also awake. So I took a chance to have an early talk. So the 2h went and it was time to say hello to Turku.

Turku was Turku. Never Liked the place, dont know why but maybe its the common finnish attitude against that city. It felt that the motorway never starts, while I was driving through the city and when it started, it was 80kmh limits, mostly because the road was in very, I mean very shitty condition. The last 150km of this road trip was nasty; it was raining like hell, in some point I couldn't drive more than 60kmh because lack of visibility. In any case, I was at home around 11am. Done.
