We’ve been in Kuopio for about six days now. We had a great trip on the ferry from Stockholm to Turku, it takes about 12 hours but we had a cabin so we slept for a couple of hours, the rest of the time we read books, Pauline did some work, and we had breakfast and an excellent lunch. After lunch, there was a band and everyone (apart from us) sang Finnish songs and danced. After a brief walk around Turku, the next day we took the train to Kuopio, about a 5.5 hour journey. It’s certainly cold here, about -4 or -5 but it would normally be a lot colder, with snow by now. The effects of global warming are quite plain for the Finns to see. The last couple of days it’s only been 0. It gets dark here at 3:30 which takes a bit of getting used to. Here’s a few photos:
