Re: Finland Peebles
Finnstar left at Vuosaari Harbor at 17.00.
The ship was brisk and was in the cabin already before four.
On board the ship, time was spent filling crosses, cross stitches making, including watching the hockey from the telecasts.
Finland was first lost to Sweden and then to Russia.
However, he came fourth in the tournament.
Hardly amused and almost panic was caused by cross-referencing instructions
disastrous to lose the cabin to mazes pretty soon Irish Coffees in the aftermath.
Well, they found them and got it raised without dismantling the whole
sofa / bed combination
SU 21.5.
The ship arrived at Travemünde at 22.30.
Unlike previous information, we did not stay on board,
but the shipping company sold us to the hotel business
15 km from Lübeck.
It was already dark, but with the help of a navigator
we found out with only one Uuuu translation.
MA 22.5.
In beautiful sunny weather we started to drive and Jorppukin ventured to leave the long tailors away.
Over the course of the day, the temperature was + 25 ° C and car air conditioning (side windows) had to be put on (open). They ran through green, lush and flowering countryside. (He was there along the way, villages and towns)
The optimal route was recycled and we were there On the Dutch side in advance at Schonebeck
Only at the Wolfshoeve Hotel after seven in the evening. Eat in the hotel restaurant and fell to the bed
The day began to shock when the navigator did not agree
to calculate the way forward, no matter how tried
lure. Eventually Nörtti-Maikki got the navigator
to play when you changed the optimum route to short
a route.
They then traveled through cities such as Utrecht and The Hague, including countless traffic lights (usually red), bounces, dead trees and roadworks to which the navigator we were thinking. And he was bothered by the cyclists he was a lot.
On the one hand, the exhaust pipe disintegrated. Bilthoven was out small town, with a few inquiries after finding a repair shop that promised to weld the exhaust pipe in an hour.
It took a while to get to know Hook van Holland there were only seven in the ordered Gestrand - B & B after.
In the beach restaurant, really good soaps were eaten a la kartte list. The lodge turned out to be very stylish.
The evening was held in a comfortable lounge area, Jorppu tapped the computer and Maikki wrote a diary and drank strawberries as a trace.
KE 24.5.
It was thought to choose a place to stay near the harbor.
So Jorppu was. The wrong one was (as usual).
Our boat left Ijmuiden, not 80 km back, again through the Hague, Fortunately, the ship left the child at 5.30 pm, so no bigger worry, but the song was missed.
The trip was 1000 km full. Ijmuiden Harbor The jar set the brakes (speed of death) but brake light could not work.
In the harbor we met a motorcycle scooter who had been in Finland several times and spoke good Finnish.
They went to the cafe, but otherwise waited.
The ship was expensive and unfortunate in the cabin acoustic insulation.
The navigator again agreed to calculate the optimal route and reached Newcastle by the bypass when the shortest route would have gone through the center.
On the way they went to Mäkkär for breakfast. It was all right when the hamburgers were not offered at that time other soaps should be chosen from the big selection screen themselves.
Fortunately, friendly staff came to help.
The end of the journey was narrow, twisted and hilly small roads.
There were already twelve in a pre-booked guesthouse.
Check-in was only four but friendly lady made us into the room and brought us water again and ice cubes in the garden. Helle goes on ...
It was in the small Greenhaugh village of the National Park within the precincts of. The house was 350 years old traditional
stone house.
Even at eight o'clock in the evening, there is a t-shirt shirt.
In the evening I used to eat at the house pub from a traditional British savory food.
PE 26.5.
Staged to admire the scenery in Kielder, which is water sports and fishing center.
We arrived at Perille Peebles Hotel in two countries driving through the magnificent scenery. High mountains and hills and sheep and then again sheep, down the road as well (no one touched). The hotel was shown to us parking near the hotel. Hardly wished long-haired people welcome. After dinner were ready for the night wood.
Cloudy but still warm. After breakfast was taken to the route that took the little roads along to the reservoirs.
There was a long, steep uphill ride on the way (ainaski 25%, and not even have the upper limit). For more adventurous we got when the above driven car stalled in front of us in the middle the hill and overpass did not fit. But yes Bradford and Jorppu found out about it and did not need Maiki even pushing.
When it came to Peebles-City, there was a costly specialty cafe and shopping. They also bought postcards, which then was given to the hotel for posting. Are not still arrived.
After lunch there was a sauna and swimming. In the sauna was warm and water pot, but no stove no such thing was found.
During this time came a heavy rain shower and thunderstorm and the hotel I went to electricity. In the evening, there was a Disnye-style skirt buffet dinner and thereafter an Irish type or-chester started to play. It was not exactly a sackbill, but pretty close. And rigid and stubborn Englishmen bump it at the pace of apparently some folk dances, even if nobody showed the patterns as well.
SU 28.5.
At least normal English weather, or not now, but it is cloudy and windy. The cars were run in rows a huge park along the Tweed River. Jorpp was left and admired the sackcloth. Maikki left the hotel the optimal workout. Halfway through the day the sun started again to shine.
In the afternoon, advice and driving instructions were provided to Welsh dorms. Brown and Mason were still in Scotland to spend a holiday.
The jubilee Jorppu was already a tradition the more distant Riviera Trophy and the "Best non-competing vehicle" award.
The day in the park allowed the audience to vote for a favorite car.
Bradford got 16 votes, but that was not enough victory.
MA 29.5.
In the shower, we headed south and admired awesome landscapes. Exhaust was practiced again and because it was bank holiday all the places were closed. We decided to drive Until Kendali, even though earplugs were needed.
Kendal was searching for a place to stay and was noticed (tires, accumulators, exhaust pipes).
There they wound up the pipe again, even though it was okay to go boys a bit overdue. The firm could not bill welding that you really should not do. welders had to offer the beans, but maybe 20 pounds was enough for a few calves.
The night was at the hotel and was entertained at the restaurant.
Maikki visited the city and took a little pictures, very picturesque.
In the morning Jorppu had to make Trap's job before it was possible to continue the journey.
On the way off the road and sandwich on the road the pub. At departure, almost was driven under the loader,
when he suddenly turned to the right. To Welsh the hills began to turn longer and steeper.
Everyone was rushed, but Bradford always survived over the hill. So I went so well that they always were in queue in the first. The ball went to coffee and bought fin. Six countries reached Aberdovey / Aberdyfi to the sea shore. There was a car park from above to a steep little town just near the "cottages" and there Bradford got it be throughout the visit. I first checked the location of Sue. Jorppu was questioning the key to the neighboring neighbor Pauline and found it, so it was a house.
The rooms are so I'm going to get lost and have a great sea view port and pier.
They were still eating at Britannia Pub.
KE 31.5.
There was a wave of high tide coming from the window.
It was pressed on the city and on the pier, a biker was considered and dunes. On the dock, children caught small crabs just for fun.
The tourist information provided instructions and timetables for the steam train.
They were on the deck and sitting on the terrace watching trade and shipping.
Maikki walked, but the hill was so steep that it did not far past (quite remarkable, can it be true!).
In the evening we were eating in another pub and waiting for an hour followed by the time of reduced doses which the traditional British way was pretty tasteless. But yes those appetites went off.
Led by a local bus to the nearby town of Tywy. A friendly lady told us where we are left off.
We left for Talyllyn steam train. The track is built In the 19th century, to bring the glintstone down the quarry. The journey took about an hour. We walked up a 2km long waterfall trail, which ran along the river bank and along the way was waterfalls. The jar in the rain.
When we got back to the station, the train was just leaving and drove to the next station for coffee.
We went on a trip to Tywy, from where the bus to Aberdyf just right.
Jorppu finally got to buy a toilet on the toilet first class sign. We went to the village again for lunch, followed by needle doughs.
In the evening, Pauline called that a relative was coming late in the evening to spend the weekend, so we packed our goods and we cleaned up already in the morning for. He was already sleeping before he came.
PE 2.6.
We went to drizzle right after breakfast without meeting the sleeping relatives.
However, the interest was then raised to the car (2 trip), as the nearby boardwalk can not stop.
The jar made a cilla and the pump crashed like the last day Kyl it was so wrong !.
It started directly towards the east and was no longer needed to climb over the mountains. On the way, they went out to eat sandwiches in Mill Inn and Stafford lifting cash in the magic wall. The destination was Little Hayford, a B & B in the village shop that was snapped online.
In the adjoining pub there was a beer and Jorppu got pretty when he asked if he could buy it.
One of the paparazzi came with us for tobacco, and not you did not believe that Emil Zatopek did not Finnish.
The pub did not get food and did not get farther away to leave, so satisfied with the trade rolls.
Arrived in two countries to Brian and Sally and enjoyed lunch in the garden yard. Jet dog fun us with a ball. Wet, seen the best day the tennis ball was so important that it did not agree to give
it's like Brian. Elisabeth has two children, George 4yrs. and Rebecka 2v. They live near London. Helen lives boyfriend close to the farm and ending engineering studies.
In the evening I used to go to the pub to eat Thai meals.
SU 4.6.
Young farmers day. The trip was short and long countless traffic circles.
In a large area, there was a variety of agricultural equipment performances and competitions, shopping, carousels, etc ..
Jorppu tried to win a big plush toy in the bowling game, but not successful - it did not hit any even though there was only a couple of trips meters. Hey, you f**** sick!
Jorppu got hat and scarf shoes, bought for Vilja swetari with the text "That's it! I'm off to Grandma's. "
Beer, pimps and hamburgers were obtained.
On the way, they even went out to eat at The Mad Cat Pub.
The cat had changed.
In the evening, Jorppu looked still images from the computer and almost
Everyone thrashed, except Jorppu and Jet.
MA 5.6.
Sally looked at Jorpu's sleek shirt and thought that Jorppu had taken Brian's law. Brian's there was a lot more grease in the stick.
We started driving north. The whirling wound distance and straight were up to 5 km long.
After 100 km, the exhaust was broken again. Lincoln I picked up a workshop where the boys took the car right away under. They played in different places and tried to find the right one a silencer. They were very excited about Bradford and the picture came to their web site. The pair, three hours later, a new volcano intercooler was driven out (what is my tune?) with and
the bill was a penny of 48 pounds. Now, there are sporty voices. While waiting in the adjacent party store and bought balloons for Ahti's birthday parties. It was Yorkshire night. The Exhibition was hurt hotel right on the edge of the old town. We ate in the hotel's pub. Maikki went out to see the city, where we have previously departed. Old Town is picturesque with its old houses and cathedrals. There are many fun shops, vintage clothes, 101 Dalmatian goods, christmas shop, hat trade whatnot. Although the stores had been closed already five and a sad little bitter mood.
TI 6.6.
The weather report was true and it rained all day.
Newcastle was 135 km away. circumvented smaller roads when A19 with several bands began Feel like weird in the rain.
In two countries, we got into the harbor and left to wait, if there was a reversal place for this day. Did not get, but fortunately there was a room from the hotel. It was already time was wet when it was raining in the rain.
They were still eating in the neighboring house.
KE 7.6.
We enjoyed the hotel room from heat to end ie at 12 o'clock. Sold in the adjacent outlet area.
Two countries were driven to the harbor and we got there I drive straight to the ship. Yorkie dropped the rest of the pound coins and got them just and just Irish Coffe, Maikki
left without air.
TO 8.6.
The outbreak of the ship was jodged to wait almost hour. The top of the satin was sloppy.
Navigators led us through Amsterdam. We had already congratulated ourselves on finding out, when there was a roadblock in front. The bridge was over the navigator by suggesting a route. They moved back and forth until found the right highway and in the right direction was that ramp is closed. Finally, there was a navigator agree.
Otherwise, it was a slow start, drembling (slow), traffic lights and cities.
Stopped for lunch, the place was nice and the food good, but it had to wait for half an hour.
The clock was almost two and we were gone 50 km (distance remaining 570 km). In the future, the trip got faster and faster six countries were at the German border. It was really warm the day and the drinking consumed and the water had to be drunk for each bottle. Finding a place in Lingen, Gesthaus Damaschker Hof. The host was friendly, though not English could not. Fortunately, we did not know German.
They were fed delicious and large asparagus portions of the place restaurant. It did not accept Visakortti but the host left to drive a couple of ATMs with their own car at the end of the road.
Turns out the German accuracy that the host was put the oil collector under Bradford to get it recover every tip.
PE 9.6.
Short route 325 km, optimal 450 km. So short, through Bremen and Hamburg, otherwise nice straight roads with a speed limit of 70 km / h. Right in Hamburg in the early part the bridge was closed and had to be picked up route. The highway was left on the motorway. The pace is not annoyed because the road was so crowded that traffic was reptiles. After about an hour, we got to Hamburg outside. Lübbin started to rain full and it was found that Lübeck is also a big city. six in Travemünde. We went with pizza and buying a boat from a diner.
Finding wine merchants was behind work and pain.
It was even when the sun was running, but the navigator looked like it from the harbor there was no way to drive. Until I realized the address stored on the phone.
Then Jorppu remembered that there were two addresses in the place and the navigator had the other. Already found right house and asking for merchandise. The shopping was behind the job when nothing could be done the door.
Satisfaction was just nine times when check-in has been opened. Access to the ship was then waited a couple of hours out in the yard. Fortunately no longer and it was not very cold.
LA 10.6.
Day on the ship went rationally with the Finnish telescope watching.
SU 11.6.
The ship was in Vuosaari harbor according to schedule 9.30. The second came to an end. Tullikin stopped asking what kind of car it was.
A decent customs officer has a Citroën B11, ie "Gangster-Sitikka" Jorppu continued on the way to Naantali with a terrible time with alcohol alcohol analyzer.
