Hey gals and guys, ;D Last year I made a scandinavian roadtrip. I went to Finland on 16th of april and returned back home on 30th same month. I came to Helsinki from where I had about 5 hour drive to Lieksa/Timitra hostel where I stayed for a week. In that time I wisited few places like Kuopio, Jensuu and such. After a week I went from Lieksa up north to Rovaniemi and stayed at some log cottage inn on the way, I forgot the town what is called. So in Rovaniemi I went to see the real Santa! :p There was much snow still there because it's the polar circle there. So from Rovaniemi I kept getting up north on the endless streight road and tundra to the Finish-Norvegean border. I reach Nordkapp by noon the same day, after that I went to Alta in Finnmark where I stayede. The next day I went to Narvik and then again to the next border, this time to Sweden. I crossed the border and came trough Kiruna, which is Sweden's most northern town. From there I went to the town of Gällivare. Stayed there over the night again and in morning went to Umeå where I crossed the sea back to the town of Vaasa and went right to Tampere. And I really loved it. Went to Herald too, great food and ambient. Felt almost like on Pangaea.
So the last day I went back to Helsinki and had time until next morning so I also took time to look around, almost got lost in the shops under the railway station.
And then came back. I won't post pictures here because it's too many, instead, I am leaving links to my FB photo albums which are public so take a look.

I wanted to meet up with Virpi but she was busy at work so she didn't have time. No ofense guys, I liked Finland and Sweden, but I fell in love with Norway.
