Northern Ireland
We arrived in Northern Ireland with Neil waiting at the airport, was real good to see him. After a short drive we ended up at his place and had a few laughs and a couple of catch up drinks. We decided to walk through town and the best way to do that was to do a pub crawl...... the pubs were great al...
Day In Helsinki
Started our morning with an awesome breakfast at the Holiday Inn, then decided to have a walk around Helsinki. The weather was perfect, nice and cool but not freezing. Ice was everywhere so you still had to look where you walked, there were plenty of slippery spots. We had a ride on the Helsinki eye...
Svolvær Day 3
Went for a drive today on narrow roads covered in snow. Gets a bit hairy when trucks are coming towards you. We pulled over at a couple of spots and sent the drone up for a few photos. Great scenery and incredibly tall mountains. We left our hotel about 7.00pm to head out hunting the northern lights...
Svolvær Day 2

Business Class
Flying Business Class was pretty cool......being able to actually lay flat was awesome on a 10+ hour flight. Food was different to cattle class too....... Whisky served in real glasses and dinner served with cutlery and china plates. Plus our table was set with a table cloth and dinner was laid out...
Narita Toilet
Well there was a bidet in the toilet so as I’ve never tried one I figured I’d see what it does........sort of knowing what might happen to what actually does happen was a totally different thing. A warm jet of water squirted so hard that I had an instant colonic irrigation that I didn’t know how to...
Narita
Our stopover in Narita was met with an unexpected layer of snow everywhere. We knew it would be colder than Condamine but weren’t expecting snow. It was was a pleasant surprise and a reality check of things to come as we head further north. We leave Nairita Sunday heading to Oslo via Helsinki. That...
