Lapland to Saint petersburg

3 trains 3 buses and 30 hours later I arrived in Helsinki from Sweden and met my friendly host Ilmari. The weather was less than ideal but made for a relaxing time and a great day to visit the city's contemporary art museum.

A much anticipated bus having missed the last bus of the day and having waited for the first from the finish border. Who knew there is a time change between sweden and finland.
