Helsinki
Arrived a bit late into Helsinki, just before 7AM. It was a nice time to be at the airport as it turned out, because there weren't many people around. Although, it seems that everyone agrees that Helsinki is a pretty calm place, and that's certainly my impression. There's waterfall sounds and birdsong playing in the terminal when you arrive (even in the loos) and a general grey quiet calm to everything. Getting on the train (down and down a concrete chasm to the metro station) was simple, with an integrated system meaning that a €4.10 three-zone ticket got me from the airport to central and out on a tram to the ferry terminal.
But rather than go on the tram the whole way, I jumped off early and walked along the quay. It was so sunny and not at all cold.
