to check about camping site in Turku for Ruisrock, get tickets for Ruisrock, book one more train trip (in Sweden) and ferry from Stockholm (can't do online, must call...)
Be sure to back loads of mosquito spray and long sleeves. And something to do in the car, you're gonna drive trough a lot of forest. :) And if you want to buy cold smoked reindeer meet, you can send it to me by post, I could store it for you until you get back. IF I can keep my hands off it... ;)
all hotels confirmed, swedish night train booked (expensive!!), and got the very last cabin on the stockholm-turku ferry. whew. only turku left to tackle.
and i managed to figure out the Viking Line online payment system (which is only available in the Finnish version of the webpage, not English version). only save a few euros, but i'd rather have the peace of mind that it's been paid and they can't reject us from the ship.
Thinking Tampere might be a nice trip some weekend soon, seeing the 50km sign to Tampere every day at work.. ;) And I need to get out of here sometime.
Seems like a nice trip you're going to have, btw. :)
If (and when) you go through Inari, give me a shout. I won't be there but please do pop in for a coffee and pulla in our café/flagship souvenir store (it's on me :)!
@R200: duncan and I. at first chienting is coming too but couldn't make it at the last minute. but definitely let us know when you are coming to Tampere! @pirita: yes we will probably go through Inari and visit your store, thanks!
