Yes, I am in Helsinki again. And no it's not groundhog day.
Tonight was the night of close shaves. And what a long night it has been.
I've been meaning to catch the express train to the airport which normally takes about 40 minutes. Of course I checked at the last minute and found out there's railworks going on, so the journey took over an hour instead!! I had to catch a bus to Lillestrom and then the express train from Lillestrom to the airport. I arrived just in the nick of time, 7:50pm with just under an hour to spare. My flight to Copenhagen was at 8:45pm so I really cut it close.
Copenhagen to Helsinki was relatively smooth, I had time to spare. Arrived into Helsinki at 1:10am, and I picked up my luggage at 1:20am. So I just manage to catch the 1:25am 620 bus from the airport! If my luggage had come any later I would've missed it and would have had to wait another half hour.
To to show you how close it was, the moment I stepped foot on the bus platform, the bus arrived right there and then!
Arrived into the city at Friday night / Saturday morning 2:20am and it was full of drunks. I saw one guy piss in the bushes close to the bus station. And a few metres later, another guy was holding his penis next to a statue, but his penis was in full view, and he was just standing there looking completely wasted. Well I'm not going to forget that for sure. A lot of kids were on the bus too. Kids as in anyone who is younger than me. :)
Now I'm in the hotel and it's rather noisy, staying right in the city and there's like a nightclub playing really loud music.
