By Train to Russia



The train trip from Helsinki to St. Petersburg was supposed to take 3 hours and 36 minutes and that is exactly what it took. The average speed was close to 200 kpm.  Lois liked it much better than flying!!  It was a wonderful way to come into Russia.  All customs paper work gets dealt with on the train and you simply leave the train in St. Petersburg with no hassle.  Because of the various things that go on with the Russian customs authorities we seemed to get here in no time.  We were able to see some of the countryside which looked very much like Canada.  I only wished I had had a map so I could follow the trip better.
