After a short visit of a Chinese travel agency it became clear that the trip with the Transmongolian from Beijing to Moscow was almost impossible to achieve in the little time we had to prepare. Getting a visa for Russia in Germany is not that difficult, but getting it in Beijing is a true pain in the a...! Looking at different options, we chose to skip Russia, to visit friends in Finland and to make our way home via the Baltic countries and Poland.
In Finland we stayed with my friend Karin (thank you so much!) and discovered Helsinki. It is a nice little city, but a visit in summer time will definitely be necessary to really get to know Helsinki. With the cold weather, the obligatory sauna visit was even better though!

To get to Tallinn, we took one of the booze ferries. The Finns like to take those to buy cheap alcohol in Estonia or already on the ferry. And at 9am the "party" started - live music, dancing Finns and cold beer! Kippis!
