Two-Years Ago (06-August-2014) – Finland

Gone to See Europe 2014. Day 67: Semester at Sea, Summer 2014 Semester Voyage. Helsinki, Finland.

Helsinki Train Station. Field trip to Rovaniemi. Waiting to board an overheated (35°C) overnight train. We were supposed to get a sleeper car, but instead were put on an out of date car attached to the end of the train that didn’t have air conditioning. I expect they never thought it gets hot in Finland.
