This is fun! Here I am on the train! Decided to take a trip to Turku on the west coast, two hours on the train. Turku was Finland's capital when the place was under Sweden - ended in 1809 when Russia took over. The capital was moved to Helsinki, because Turku was too connected to Sweden. Its history goes back to the medieval times and it has, among other things, an impressive medieval castle, which was the residence of the Swedish regents and princes in Finland.
Modern train, I can charge my camera battery and phone, bought coffee from the trolley and have a good book. Nice! Report with pictures to follow.
