Day Seventy Two Thursday 29th September

Well, I slept like a log all night, the best nights sleep for years, but I overheard someone this morning talking about the storm in the early hours!

We hd disembarked and gone through customs etc back in Helsinki by 8.30, and went straight to the Eckero line desk to book return ferry tickets for a day in Tallinn tomorrow. Then we spent the rest of the morning in the Cafe chatting with Camilla, our Swedish friend from yesterday. None of us had pressing plans for the day and we were happy to talk over our St Petersburg impressions, world politics, today's news and all sorts of other subjects! We eventually got going, and had an easy journey back to Rastila, where we spent the rest of the day quietly, and had a walk in the surrounding woods, conserving energy for a long day tomorrow.

It is now nearly midnight, and we have to be up at 6 to catch the 8.30 ferry. It has been raining and very blustery all afternoon. I will be sure to pack all the sea-sickness antidotes!
