... 7 hours ahead in Helsinki, Finland!

Just got to Helsinki, last time I blogged I was leaving Stockholm... We took a ferry, which was a cruise ship and it went over night to Turku, Finland. We all drank from the time we stepped aboard the ship till about 2 hours before we docked. It was a good time. We all ate dinner together, then went to the duty free shop to buy alcohol, and then we all drank in our cabins, and then went to the disco till about 3am. The boat docked at 7am, but we jumped time zones so we lost an hour.

We spent the day and night in Turku... we had a relaxed schedule and just went on a few visits. Then we checked into our Hostel, which was alot like a summer camp, and just relaxed for the rest of the day. This morning we got up early and went to this beautiful chapel. It was very relaxing. We then went to an Aalto furniture making factory for a tour and were on Finland's Channel 3 news. Then we had a 2 hour bus ride to Vila Maira, which was amazing! It was so awesome to finally get to visit. Then we drove 3 hours to Helsinki, and we are now going to be here for 3 nights/4 days... this city looks fun/beautiful, so I am going to go out and find dinner and explore soon. But I wanted to give everyone an update!
