Yesterday we left Tallinn on a ferry that crossed an arm of the Baltic Sea, the Gulf of Finland. It’s about 50 miles across and it takes about two hours or so to cross it. The ferry is BIG, not unlike a small cruise ship. It was quite comfortable being on it, restaurants, slot machines, video games, Sports Bars, Gift Shops, and Duty-Free stuff!
We entered Helsinki, our bus rolled out of the Ferry, and we boarded it for a ride to our hotel. This hotel used to be a prison. Complete with all of those prison-like amenities that one would expect…… solitary confinement, big, tall, long ‘cell blocks’, etc. An enterprising entrepreneur saw something in this and after some extensive renovation opened up as this hotel. Since it is Prison, I decided that a Black and White collection of photos would be approporiate!

Bread and water were served for dinner…… at least it was rye!

Interesting hotel. Did you have a curfew?
The Warden throws the locks at 2100 hours. Tunneling starts at 2130.
That’s wild!
