15.9 Leave Perth at 1150, arrive in Singapore at 1720, fly out of Singers at 2315
16.9 And arrive in Helsinki at 615. I've booked the Omena Hotel from the 15th so I can drop my bags and have a shower (always a priority)
17.9 Helsinki
18.9 See above
19.9 1849 train #265 to Rovaniemi
20.9 Arrive 713, pick up hire car, try to find my Lomavekarit cabin - I have booked a sat nav, it's just that Finnish street names are so long, I'll be past them long after the Finnish SatNav person has finished speaking them.
20.9 - 26.9 Getting lost in and around Rovaniemi. This will involve going to the Arctic zoo in Ranua (wolverine!) and Santa Claus's village
27.9 Drop off hire car, 920 train to Oulu (where they hold the air guitar championships, just not when I'm there), staying at the Best Western Apollo. There's a Science Museum and a Stone Age Centre - https://www.ouka.fi/oulu/luuppi-english/kierikki-stone-age-centre
28, 29.9 Oulu
30.9 1155 Train to Turku. Yes, I'm going back to Turku and I'm staying on the Bore, the Hostel ship/boat/ship.
1.10. 2.10 Turku. I want to visit the Sibelius Museum.
3.10 1305 train to Jyvaskyla, possibly one of the most difficult to pronounce Finnish towns I will have been to.
4, 5.10 Jyvaskyla is in the Lakelands area and looks lovely.
6.10 - 7.10 Bit of a gap here but there are a number of places worth looking at between Jyvaskula and Helsinki
8.10 Helsinki. Hmm, must book accommodation.
9.10 1115 flight to Stockholm and then to Manchester and then the train to York, arriving at 2034. Travelodge Mickelgate
10, 11.10 York
12.10 York to Manchester, overnight at the Crowne Plaza airport hotel.
13.10 Manchester 1140 flight to Stockholm, arriving 1455, Nordic Comfort Hotel (it's near the train station)
14.10 Stockholm, avoiding the Abba Museum, looking for signs of Ikea, which I don't believe is in Sweden at all
15.10 Overnight Victoria I ferry from Stockholm, departs 1730
16.10 And arrives in Tallinn at 1000. Hestia Hotel, which is near the ferry terminal
