December 24 - Helsinki, Finland

I took a slow moving boat from the port of Stockholm into the port of Helsinki. Actually, it was very calming to be on the boat. Except for the fact that the boat kept making these weird groaning noises...the same ones that the Titanic made in the movie after it had hit the iceberg and was starting to break up. My cabin was underneath the water line and that was kinda freaky. I shared the cabin with three others and it started out okay but turned into the worse night of sleep possible. The first guy I met was a Russian. He bought a bottle of whiskey from the dutyfree and we spent a good couple of hours drinking it while talking about russian hockey. That was the good part. The bad part was he snored heavily and the chinese guy on the other top bunk made these bird calls throughout the entire night. Bird calls. Exactly. Heading back to Sweden in 2 days.
