Silja Line Ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm

The crew and a smattering of Islands

In the middle of nowhere
Allo! I'm in the A lands now finally. I'm actually not in Mariehamn (main port), I'm on Kiruna which is a lot further from everything than I realised (won't even register on this travel sight). I took the 6 hour ferry from Turku. Arrived in Mariehamn and ...
