1.1  How to travel

1. By air: Fly to Helsinki airport (Vantaa) and take the Finnair bus (5.20e) to the city centre railway station. From there, a ten-minute walk to the bus station, from where a long-distance bus goes twice a (working) day, once in the weekend. A single ticket costs approx. 20e.

2. By sea: Bromarv has a small yacht harbour some 7 km from our summer home. It is behind an archipelago and a high-Hausdorf-dimension coastline, so make sure your nav gear and charts are up to snuff.
3. By ferry: take from Sweden either Stockholm-Åbo or Kapellskär-Nådendal. Then, drive/ride to Bromarv centre (some 100 km) and from there 10 km (of which 5 km dirt road) to destination.

1.2  Facilities

We have two real beds in a real guestroom, but be prepared to sleep on a mattress on the floor. There is also a small sauna cabin with sleeping places. We have (in the main house) 240 V / 50 Hz and warm and cold running water though. Connectivity is ADSL wireless + four ethernet ports. Bring your own laptop + cabling / card. Bringing a spare modem and a hub would be a good idea -- just in case.

1.3  Weather

The weather is probably rather warm, 20-28 C. May rain, but rarely very long. There is a sand beach close by, so take your swimming gear along! The nights are dark already, but auroras are not very likely (though not impossible) at the present stage of the solar cycle.

1.4  Contact information

My mobile phone: +358 50 3574139 to arrange for the pick-up at Bromarv bus stop.

Welcome!

  > Also, is 1 hour enough to go to city center and catch the bus?
  

  The bus takes half an hour and goes at intervals of 20-30 minutes, also walking to the bus station takes 10 min. So an hour is a bit tight. Take two hours at least so you can afford to get lost :-) A taxi would be a backup option.

  Yes! Take the ferry to Åbo or Nådendal and ride 100 km to Bromarv centre, and enquire after the Vermeer residence... folks here all speak a funny sort of Swedish...
