Helsinki - last day

Yesterday (Wednesday, 2 August) was my last day in Helsinki and my last day in an 'english speaking' country. The hostel I was staying in for my last two nights in Helsinki was fantastic. The first night (1 August) was the best. There were at least 15 people all solo travelers (which is really strange not to have at least one group of 2)and almost everyone was from a different country. We sat around the kitchen talking until late. It was a blast. I spent Wednesday doing errands mostly and got everything I needed to done. I was ready for a little more adventure so I was quite looking forward to Russia.

On Thursday (3 August) I caught the early morning train to St. Petersburg.
