I got a free trip to Tallinn yesterday. The catch was I had to be the driver. I drove a van for the second time in my life and in 2 different unfamiliar cities. But it was fun.
It didn't start off very good. At around 6:40 we were meant to leave from Pirkkala and the hand break was stuck. It took awhile to get it released and then we were off. It was rainy so I was only driving 100-110km/h. But we got to the harbor without a problem. Next problem appeared when we were checking in. The height of the van was a bit problematic. It was supposed to be 190cm but then the harbor guy measured it to be higher. But he was too drunk or too uninterested to do anything about it so he let us go. I was still a bit worried about driving to the boat because it was my first time behind the wheel doing that. But things went well. Boys drank beer on the boat and I didn't. I saw someone who look very much like Olli Hietajärvi and when I mentioned it to my bf he mentioned the other guys in the same company were Teräsbetoni. When we got out in Tallinn it was the different harbor than first thought so the route to the Norde Centrum was different and by the time I realized that it was too crowded to change lanes and we ended up doing a lap in the other side of the city center but eventually ended up parking on the norde centrum lot. And even though I said no way we're eating at Hesburger we couldn't find another place to eat so we ended up back at the Hesburger at Norde Centrum. Ridiculously cheap compared to Finland. We were about 30 mins ahead of our schedule but headed out for the SuperAlko anyway. Good thing we didm since it took so long to get all our booze. Only we were at the harbor heading back an hour before it was boarding. It was a bit hard to be the only one who couldn't drink anything all trip but I made it. And even though R was unsure where we were going after leaving the boat I knew what I was doing and we got to the right road to Tampere eventually. All and all it was a fun trip and I would do it again. Only I'd hope next time I'd have more money.
by the way Tuukka could so well be a brother of Jesse's if I didn't know any better.
