　　　　HELSINKI VISIT　(1) 　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　JULY　２００５

I　participated in the tour of “World Heritages in St. Peterburg &
Estonia for 8 days”　It arrived at the Helsinki airport on the midnight,
Wednesday, July 13 at 11 o'clock. It was a long journey of more than
17 hours by Air France via Paris.　　　　　　　　　　　　

	It was the flight of 3 hours or less from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris to the Helsinki Vantaa International Airport. It was first Northern Europe for me. We went to south area of Helsinki by bus. I could check in in 0:30 at Sokos Hotel Presidentti.

We　departed busily after in a bed for a few hours in the Hotel Presidentti.	Early morning we are going to the port from the hotel to take ship by bus through Helsinki town.I see scenery of fresh Helsinki from windows of bus.
	We go over to Tallinn by high speed boat at 8:00 a.m. on July 14, the next day. The wake-up call is 5:50 AM though it was before to enter the bed last night at 2:00AM. This is a severe point of the tour from the first day.

Shipboard from Finland to capital Tallinn in Estonia, one of three Baltic countries. There is a room of alcohol and the cigarette in SEA SHOP and it is the same as the duty free shop in the airport.	The high-speed ferry "sea cat" faces the port of Tallinn of the opposite bank in a Finnish gulf in 1 hour 40 minutes. At a deck on the second floor seat.
