12 to Tallinn

Route: 28 kilometers, cumulative: 1,055 kilometers | Elevation: 140, cumulative elevation: 4,190 meters, distance from home: 1,775 kilometers (as the crow flies).

The 30 hours on the comfortable ferry went by quickly! I covered approximately the same distance as to Travemünde with the e-bike, but it took longer and was less comfortable. However, it was sportier, more exhausting, and more expensive! On average, I estimate about 100 francs per day, with accommodation being the most expensive part. Additionally, there are food and drink costs as well as other expenses for repairs on the bike or for myself.

Despite the long journey, the huge ship arrived punctually in Helsinki. However, when I say Helsinki, I mean the docking point, which is about 30 kilometers outside the city. So, I got on my e-bike and cycled with a few short breaks to the Tallin ferry terminal. Along the way, I also saw some parts of Helsinki.

To have enough time, I booked the last ferry that still reaches Tallinn today. It departs at 4:30 PM and takes exactly 2 hours for the crossing. Then I’ll get back on my bike and head straight to the hotel.

From a performance perspective, today was not an exhausting day, but in terms of impressions and concentration, it was. Therefore, I am sure that I will sleep well tonight. 💤

**Español:**

¡Las 30 horas en el cómodo ferry pasaron rápidamente! Hice aproximadamente la misma distancia que hasta Travemünde con la bicicleta eléctrica, aunque tardé más tiempo y fue menos cómodo. ¡Fue más deportivo, más agotador y más caro! Por día, calculo un promedio de aproximadamente 100 francos, siendo el alojamiento lo más caro. A eso hay que añadir alimentos y bebidas, así como otros gastos para reparaciones en la bicicleta o en mí.

A pesar del largo viaje, el enorme barco llegó puntualmente a Helsinki. Pero cuando digo Helsinki, me refiero al puerto, que está a unos 30 kilómetros de la ciudad. Así que me subí a la bicicleta eléctrica y pedaleé con pequeñas pausas hasta el puerto de los ferris a Tallin. Durante el trayecto también vi algo de Helsinki.

Para tener suficiente tiempo, reservé el último ferry que aún llega a Tallin hoy. Sale a las 16:30 y tarda exactamente 2 horas en la travesía. Luego me vuelvo a subir a la bicicleta y me dirijo directamente al hotel.

Desde el punto de vista de mi rendimiento, hoy no fue un día agotador, pero en cuanto a las impresiones y la concentración, sí lo fue. Por ello, estoy seguro de que también dormiré bien esta noche. 💤
