Ferry 1: Stockholm to Helsinki

Moomins aplenty. Silja Symphony - so vast it has ts own shopping street. The Stockholm archipelago was stunning: calm water, beautiful views, good company. Could very much enjoy renting a house for a year on one of those wee islets. Buttery smooth, near silent crossing. Ents were predictably hilarious. Locals stocking up on duty free. Sleep: 12h, 9h, 8h. A narrow morning squeeze through narrow channel Suomenlinna. Heavy clouds. Many little ferries zooming around. A sleepy start to Finland.
