In Transit: Tallinn to Helsinki [Viking Lines] [Carla's Birthday]

Well, we leave now from one party [from Hollywood in Tallinn] to a party on the Ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki. This ferry known as the Viking line, runs 3 hours and contains various pubs and bars, and a tax-free shop with alcohol. It is not allow to drink alcohol bought in the tax free shop on the ship, but solely because they want you to spend your money at their bars [which is more expensive]. But no one cares, every one is walking around carelessly and drunk with tax-free cans of beer in their hands. When entering the boat we saw several buses entering the car deck...that's amazing how a ship can support that weight and be stable. :|

After running to catch this boat, since we went to the wrong side of the port, we finally relaxed and drank our two mini bottles of tax-free wine and two cans of beer. Satisfaction and relaxation levels increased! bonus!

The best part of this boat trip was meeting this cute, semi-drunk, graphics designer, Hanna, from Hamina, Finland. Come on, it's green eyes!!!!!! Apart from her, we met two girls [sisters] from east Tallinn near the border or Russia, and they spoke Russian! At end we realized that they were in high school :S....that's to show how mature these girls look and dress...however, my heart and mind still lie elsewhere...

The trip was fun, except the boat was totally moving up and down and we felt more drunk than we were. At the end, everyone was drunk, totally falling down - men, women children, just drunk... :). And of course trolleys of beer were being shipped out...

After this, arriving in Helsinki to yet another party - the birthday of the sister of the girlfriend of Marcos [Anna's sister: Carla]. It was good went to a couple of bars [Carla's pub crawl] - bar hopping. Met Anna's dad at a bar with her mom and godfather [drinking of course, the natural Finnish way]. Her godfather actually visited Trinidad about 10-15 years ago for the carnival, how amazing! After it was to a karaoke bar, where we discovered we weren't missing anything in terms of girls from Estonia, since the beauty was still existent even in Finland...[to the right - the Finnish sisters, wow: from left-right: Milla, Carla, Anna]. Absolute Helsinki...
