Tallinn (Estonia) to Helsinki (Finland)
Back to the docks for another ferry trip, this time just a short two hour voyage to Helsinki.
It really brought home that the war in Ukraine was very close to us when immediately on disembarking we saw signs directing people who were fleeing Ukraine, and outside the terminal there were Red Cross people with signs in Ukrainian.
Transport to our hotel was easy, the tram left from the ferry port and stopped practically at the door. Helsinki was warmer than we expected, and also seemed more compact than the other Scandinavian capitals we'd visited.
We wandered around the main squares and the bay area, all just a short walk from our hotel, then headed back to sit at one of the many bars and enjoy the summer weather.
