Helsinki Cruise
My first ride on a cruise ship..! Went to Stockholm to get on the cruise boat to Helsinki, Finland...The cruise departs at 1700hrs, so me and my roomie and my 2 hong kong friends went around to visit the FOC museums in the day.. hmm... royal coin museum, east asian antiques museums which got mummies in it(so spooky...).....
Then.............
my virgin cruise ride!!!
It was amazing... the ship was like a mini shopping centre..!! never feel that i was on a ship.....!! visited the mini casino on the ship ah.. and it was so damn mini... with only one table roulette at work..... farnie... *absurd look*
Then, after 13 hrs of overnight cruising.... we arrived at Helsinki....
Hmm... gave me a feeling as if i am still in stockholm... haha.... and, the best thing is that they didn't stamped our passports cos we came from sweden... and pple who come from sweden need not stamp their passports... sigh... no finland passport chop... sighz.....
Cars at finland was cleaner and shinier than those found in sweden.. just a lame statement...
anyway, visited the museum of news and journalism there, not bad... better than what i expected.. then the white church was rather spectacular... very high up and very huge.... and the white is beautiful...
anyway, after a day at helsinki, we needed to rush back to the cruise ship to come back to stockholm...
the ride on the ship back was bad... we met with a storm, and the ship was shaking quite badly.. to think the ship is quite big.. and yet still shake... it must have been quite a bad storm.. and i tot i was going to die on the ship... haha... but i survived!! haha..
then, back at stockholm, we stayed for a night.. and the night we spent on a youth hostel that is on a boat..... interesting! so, we bought the stockholm card for 2 days... and visited many museums... we went to a mini fairytale land called junibacken.. still got their skansen zoo park with practically no animals left in the cold weather... the aquarium with a tropical rainforest which i liked cos of the heat... then got a toy museum which was inside a transport museum.. then their royal palace which is rather heavily guarded.. the vasa museum which has a 333years old once sunken ship that was retrieved back from the baltic sea.. that was the last museum i visited and it was the BEST!! the ship was so magnificent..!
and... it was the time to go home... on a train.. and it was so cool.. we got our own cabin for 4...! *grinz*
