Planetskier: Train to HEL

I took the train route to the Helsinki-Vantaa airport this morning, wanting to both see the deep underground station and to test the route should my 27-year old car some day not work :-)

It was a great ride, although from Kauniainen you have to go the wrong way first and change trains, wait 12 minutes extra at the changing station, and so on. So I left home roughly an hour and five minutes before arriving at the airport; a long time. By car I'd be there half an hour sooner. Of course, going by train is also 10x cheaper given that one doesn't have to pay for parking or taxis.

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
