Hi Marko
I guess you are Finnish and living in Germany?
I am glad you provided an English version below your Finnish travelogue. My Finnish is a bit rusty :-) and I was struggling with Google Translate until I noticed the English version.
I take it, most of your trip was solo, but you met friends en route?
How much wild camping did you do, as opposed to using pay camp sites, Hyttes or hotels, etc? Your first day was a bit of a marathon, but mostly autobahn.
I will mark in on my plans, some of the monuments that you visited. I will not be going to the Nordkapp Tourist Centre, but rather will walk in to the point a little further north.
Were you using a Hilleberg Keron 3 GT tent? It was a long trip, similar to my planned one. Did you get everything in your panniers or did you have to strap bags on top of the seat and/or panniers and if so, what did you do about security, especially in cities & Baltic States/Poland? Did you use a Pacsafe or similar?
You didn't give the dates of your trip I think, but I am guessing you started about 16 or 17 July. You mentioned the July 22nd massacre at one point.
Thanks again for the link.
