Before you get all excited ladies, this is not one of Miss Anna Steele's lurid escapades. There is not a bitten lip or an inner goddess in sight :)
It is more a description of the view. Hardly what I had envisaged when imagining a ferry journey across the Baltic Sea. So time to bury my nose in the guidebooks…
By late afternoon, the sun has burned away the fog, so I venture on deck to sample the views. By my calculations, Sweden is on the left and Russia is on the right. Not that there was much difference :)
Over the evening meal I am given a friendly warning by one of the locals about the fines for speeding in Finland. Apparently you are fined in proportion to your monthly wage, which resulted in his colleague receiving a €860 fine! It seems a bit unrealistic, but I am not willing to find out for myself.
With the sun setting over Sweden (or is it Russia!?) I head to my surprisingly comfy chair-bed and try to ignore the room rattling snoring from the BIG Russian fella in the corner.
Distance: 611 nautical miles
