Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream...

...merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. As the caption says, I'm fulfilling my dream and now on the Rostock ferry, ETA 21.30 CET +1 (it's 21.00 CET +1 now) I'm closer to it than ever! Never mind it's not me who's rowing, that the boat is a ferry deffo not being rown, and that calling the Baltic Sea a "stream" is quite an understatement.

I've been packing like a maniac for the past week, mostly in order to manage the insane task of cramming the majority of my belongings into a ridiculously small cellar closet. But being the Houdini I am, I actually made it, even some space was left over! Though I must admit I would never ever, I mean ever, have succeeded if my little sister, who's taking over my furnitured flat for my year abroad, wouldn't have agreed to store all my books. THANKS SIS.

And so yesterday around 15.00 (Finnish time) I headed toward Vuosaari harbour where the ferry departed at 19.00. As I mentioned in the previous post, I'm taking the ferry from Helsinki to Rostock, as my darling parents offered to take me all the way by car. This enables me not only to ignore the flights' 20 kg weight limitations, diverse rules concerning liquids etc., but to take with me my bike! <3

Omg we've arrived!! Laters!

T–12!

Eep, in less than two weeks I'll be heading with the Rostock ferry towards Berlin! And two weeks from now, I'll be a Berlinerin – finally finally finally :)

I also managed to find an apartment today, even though it's just for September. But I'm pretty positive it'll be easier to find a place to live when in Berlin, having the possibility to go and see the flats in person and charm the landlords or -ladies off their feet. I must say I'm quite surprised with how hard it's been to find a place, comparing to the previous times I've rented a flat (for a shorter period), but I'm sure everything'll turn out just fine :)

TWO WEEKS!
