Back from the dead! Or back from the sea, actually. Recognize the pretty little pink toilet seat?
Yup, it’s one in the cabin of the Silja Serenade Helsinki-Stockholm cruise boat. One from the cabin I made my home the past two days during a cruise I took with B. We came back from our 2-night cruise Friday morning and I’m already ready to go again.
Here’s some of the boat trip in photos – I might post a few more from Stockholm, but here’s for starters!
As a kid, I could hardly sleep for a week before an upcoming boat cruise with how excited I was. Unlike B – who thinks cruise boats are the boringest thing ever. But still I got him to join me on this little Stockholm cruise getaway for some “us” time and for some shopping, of course. Which was the part he probably didn’t look forward as much as me, ha!
We got on the ship in on Wednesday evening, fueled by coffee, and made ourselves home in our cabin with a view on the pretty Helsinki lights. The boat sailed off at 5PM and wasn’t crowded at all; just us and a few Russian tourists! I got to spend some time with B, and what comes to me – the food, candy and chill time on boat always comes before drinking yourself full on cheap alcohol – which is what the majority of young people tends to go on boats for.

Yep, food food food! We ate at the Happy Lobster restaurant on our first night on the boat, where B had the humongous sea food plate with some not so happy seafood, I has fish with Riesling sauce. Most of the time on board was spent walking around and in the tax free shops, munching on chocolate and being lazy, which was great.
I notice most of my photos are cell-phone quality snaps and quite honest, I hardly even remembered to take any photos. You know how that happens when you’re having a good time and forget about stuff like “have to take photos for the blog” ;o
On the shopping promenade, always happy to wander around the shops etc even if nothing much ever changes.
For those finns with little money, such as myself, a little boat trip can be quite the sweet mini vacation. The only bad thing is, it really is quite a short trip and may easily leave you wishing you could’ve stayed in Stockholm or on board for a little longer!
But a new week’s calling, along with all the new things and projects of the new year. Have a great week everyone!
Plenty of my couple friends are going on cruises and vacations together, and I’ve been together with my bf for 3 years and i STILL haven’t gone on a trip with him…>_<
Love the lights at the shopping stores, lots of lights:D and damn you got to eat lobster, I've always wanted to eat lobsters xDDD weird but I love seafood.
Aw, but you’ll have the time, still! :) We don’t have the chance to live together now with my B, so we thought we’d at least get to spend a few days together on a cruise. Besides, these kinda cruises are not the most expensive kind of trips, especially if you’ve got member club discounts etc.
Seafood’s great! Or well, ok, I’m not a fan of mussels but maybe I’ll learn to like those some day xD
I have to tell you, that I have loveloveloved these last two posts!
Your text is more relaxed and it feels like you’re not trying too hard to make this blog intresting/superficial fashion statement – you’re just you, going trough life with all that you get. and I’m kinda jealous that you manage to look that gorgeous, no matter what you do.
I love your blog so much!
ps. thanks for being so sweet to me when I wrote about you not replying comments and such. you seem a lot more down to earth kinda girl than I expected.
pps. you still have the same bf, right? he looks really thin :o
Much love, good work with the blog!
Hey there :) That’s good to hear! Even if these aren’t exactly the kind of posts I’d _want_ to be posting the most. But well, as you might’ve noticed from the lack of posts lately, I haven’t stressed so much about posting here these past few weeks.
And aw, I’m so glad to hear there’s still people out there like you who still like to read this little bloggy of mine :,) I am currently going through a little planning process on its future, but you’ll see soon.
No problem with the comments…. It was my bad for not having replied soon enough :( And yeah, me having something else on my mind than clothes and stuff might come as a surprise since I’m putting my heart on a style centered and superficial blog like this :D
B’s still the same B, same boyfriend as for the past 3 years or so~
Thank you <3 I’ll try to do my best and what I see best! Take care!
Mä oon varmaan sitten B:n kanssa samoilla linjoilla, munki mielest tästä maailmasta ei löydy tylsempää ku Ruotsin laiva :D Lapsena siel oli kyl ihan kivaa ku pääsi pallomereen ja onkimaan yllätystä, 25-vuotiaana ei kuulemma enää pääse. :(
Hahaa! Mä oon varmaan siis vielä siellä 8-v tasolla, joka jaksaa innostua laivoista :D Meillä oli kyllä B:n kanssa kova suunnitelma, että oltais iästämme huolimatta tehty yllätyshyökkäys pallomereen ja dyykattu sinne niin, ettei se lasten paikan valvoja olis ehtinyt estää… But it didn’t happen ;( Ehkä ensi kerralla.
Ei, mutta kyllä se ihan rennosti ottaminen, rauhassa syöminen, jne, oli vaihtelun vuoksi ihan mukavaa :)
Awww you look stunning as always. I hope you had a wonderful time! xx
