The Deptford Lads' Holidays

Deptford Lads > Baltic Triangle 2002

Stockholm ArchipelagoBaltic Cities - Summer 2002
“The Baltic Triangle”

Summer 2002, and another mini odyssey in Scandinavia - a sort of reverse take on our 1999 Baltic Odyssey (but without St Petersburg), tracing a triangular route across the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland. And this time we travelled with our friends Dave and Rob, who joined us on our Norwegian holiday the year before.

Starting at Stockholm this time, we went by sea across the Baltic to Helsinki, then across the Gulf of Finland to Tallinn, and then back across the Baltic to Stockholm. All on scheduled ferries. After returning to Stockholm, we travelled by high-speed train down to Gothenburg - A city we'd not visited before.

On these pages you can access our itinerary, and a bookmark page with lots of links, resources and miscellaneous information that we gathered together in planning the trip. There are some photos below, and also a rather nice Map!
