So the boat from stockholm to Turku wasnt really a boat, but a big ass cruise..It had all the indulgence items that bores old people like us :)...what went wrong here was that we lost our cabin seats due to some date change madness,however the seated accomodation was nothing to complain about..I even got the sleeping bag out for Meenu and tucked her nice n easy for a few hours of good night sleep..what went right was that we had a few amerikan dollars sitting in our pocket which could be xchanged for sum euros to buy us some tempting food on the cruise...Not that we were not prepared, in fact we had our share of krackers ,cheese etc,but could not resist the yummy food being served :) AFter a pretty interesting experience in the cruise for me, as it was my first. The cruise docked at Turku harbour early mornin with a full cloud cover and strong winds making us super cold :)This we like, dont like it when its hot :)Next was figuring out a paid campin place to park atleast for a night,...
