14th March, We head to Helsinki

Sorry Mum, not many photo's today.

Up very early to catch a train to Helsinki which left at 6am. The trip took a bit over 9 hours but with getting ready out of the hotel and into the next hotel it was a long boring day.
Still the European trains are very quiet and very comfortable.
The view was only white forest an occasional town.

Most of the big trees were Birch, usually a smaller one near by know as Son's of Birches!

Even as we approach Helsinki there is still plenty of snow.
By the time we all check in we are shattered. Fortunately there is a good local pub at the back of the hotel. It had a sort of familiar feel to it.
