Birthday special: Cruise

Yayyy* HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!! This is the first ever birthday I am celebrating in Europe AND on a cruise, so exciting. We joined a student trip with Timetravels for a 3 days trip to St. Petersburg for only 200€, accomodation and traveling expenses included! Such a deal. The boat sets off in Helsinki terminal for an overnight ride and arrives the next morning.

Fabulous sunset seeing us off 

The thing that's good Russia is that their alcohol is so inexpensive, especially in the duty free on the boat. (by inexpensive i mean REALLY affordable, as in CHEAP). I bought a bottle of Gold Edition sparkling wine to share with my friends, literally genuine gold leaves inside. AWESOME!

They caught me by surprised when they presented me with a card unexpectedly, so sweet to read the blessings from my dear friends *big hugs* We went to the deck to howl at the moon, well no, to enjoy the moonlight. It was so calm, peaceful and romantic in the middle of the ocean, everybody was mesmerized by the beauty. We look at the horizon there the reflection of the moon disappeared and it seriously felt like it's the edge of the world and everything would fall down over it, fascinating. This is seriously what I love most about over-night cruses!

The party on the cruise is also great, with hot music (and Finnish guys lol) had so much fun, best birthday ever!! :D
XOXO
