Hey did I tell anyone that I went out on the frozen ocean on a moottorikelkka (snow mobile) when I was in Oulu in Finland. Man those machines move pretty quick. At one time I was screaming along doing 70 then I realised I was doing 70 MPH not 70 KPH.
Thats pretty fast for a first timer across the ocean on a snow mobile. I have been told that there are some snow mobiles that will kill that speed.
Makes me want to go back and go faster again.
Anyone else want to come on a high speed adventure across the frozen ocean.

Changing of the Swedish Guard
When I was in Sweden I came accross a lot of noise so I followed the noise and it was the Swedish guard on their way to change the guards at the Royal Palace in the Old Town. I like what they did so much I came back to the same place at the same time a couple of days later with my video camera to show everyone.
So sit down and watch the Swedish guard do.

Crazy Viking Lads
Yesterday I purchased (finally) an external hard drive. I can hear you say wow he purchased a hard drive big bloody deal. Well it is kind of a big deal because now I can finally edit and post all the behind the scenes videos of my Scandinavian trip that I had forgotten about.
One thing I have learnt in life is if you have space you will fill it. When I got this MacBook Pro I thought there is no way in the next few years I will ever fill this suckers hard drive. I remember thinking it is a 120 gig hard drive well now it is sitting here with 7 gig of space left.
Anyway this is a tribute (well kind of) to my crazy Swedish Viking mates I made on the journey from Helsinki to Stockhom in early April 2007. They spent all their time getting very drunk and caused a lot of trouble on the journey via sea to Sweden. I now wish I had of used my video camera to film them on the ship they were so so so so so funny.
So when we got to Sweden they were still very drunk from the nights drinking sessions and the cops had set up a beath testing squad out the front of the car park. So me being a nice Aussie offered to drive them out of the car park and take the breath test. They were very happy I did that for them and there way of repaying me for my good deed was to give me a lift into the city.
Then I did something just as crazy as them if not even more crazy. I drove the car on the wrong side of the road which made them panic BIG TIME.
Perhaps you had to be there but I am sure they are still lauging about it now. And I am sure they wont let any more Aussies drive their car.
Thanks guys it was a great time.
