Sorry I am traveling
Hello patient people I am finally back from a small part of my adventures. So far I made it out of Melbourne and into Hong Kong and on to Helsinki.
So yes I am safely in Finland and I guess all is well. I am in the middle of having some issues with a train pass which is not a nice thing to have happen to me but oh well I guess stuff happens.
So far I have been chilling out in my friends home town of Nummela just drinking pepsis and laughing at things and people including me.
I also made the Mammoth trek into the Lappland and Kuusamo.
I spent a day in the cutest little cabin in Kuusamo where all the trees were totally covered in snow and the sauna was running pretty hot and people really did jump into a frozen lake after the sauna but not me.
After spending a bit of time in Kuusamo I headed off by my self to the Arctic Circle to a tourist town call Rovaniemi. It is all tourist stuff there and the home of one Santa Klaus.
I was treated to a typical Finnish Christmas dinner which included the consumption of Reindeer meat which is pretty funny followed by a trip to the local cemetery to lay some candles down in memory of the people who have passed.
Sadly I didnt have my camera there because it was so pretty seeing hundreds of candles lying in the snow on a cold dark night.
So now I am back down in Helsinki waiting for the out come of this stupid train pass.
So until I come here again enjoy a few pics.
Next stop should be Tromsø Norway.
Enjoy

About Bloody Time
Yep the title says it all. It really is about bloody time to get back to the worlds largest freezer and see what surprises can and will happen this time.
So I can hear you asking whats all this about and why has it taken so long to get back there.
Well Ladies and Gentlemen its all about cash. In very late Feb 2008 I got a job and worked my butt off 6 days a week to save as much money as I could to get back to the part of the world I fell in love with so on Tuesday 16th of December I head back to the little country known as Finland to resume the trip I never wanted to end.
So stay tuned for more updates and hopefully some more crazy adventures on the top side of the Arctic Circle.
