In this episode of Monotone Chronicles, I leave the snowy north behind and take a slow train south from Rovaniemi to Helsinki. There, I spend a quiet day wandering through peaceful streets, admiring Nordic architecture, and somehow managing to visit several churches without combusting.
As the evening settles in, I board a Viking Line cruise—booked with a same-day ticket—for a gentle float across the Baltic Sea toward Stockholm.
Pull the car over because this soft-spoken travelogue just might lull you to sleep, one quiet moment at a time.
