Summer vacation

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Have fun Stefan....Just got back form my tour of the Highlands of Scotland which was amazing.

It looked amazing. I was definitely jealous, following your travels via FaceTubes.

I'm back. Temporarily.

 

Where are you going? Or are you hanging out in Finland? Is there a summer in Finland?

 

 

 

 

 

Just hanging out in Finland. Visiting our summer cottage (1 hour drive from home) and doing some work on our house. I just got back from my fathers funeral (he died a couple of weeks ago), he lived in the western part of Finland. About 400 km away.

 

Sorry to hear that, how are you doing?

I'm doing pretty fine consider the circumstances. Thanks for asking.

It's one helluva start to the vacation...

- Bromo Mountain, Malang (East Java)

Nice! Thanks.

 

My friend works for Air Canada, and says she can take me anywhere they fly for free. So I'll have to see what she thinks of Indonesia.

Have fun Stefan....Just got back form my tour of the Highlands of Scotland which was amazing.

My girlfriend and I will be visiting Scotland in a month.

 

What did you do/see there? Any tips?

 

You must got to the West coast and maybe visit the islands, Mull, Arran, Skye or tour down the west side and go to Glencoe . This is the route we took over a week, 1600 miles in total and it was fabulous.

 

 

Thanks for the info and great pics, Jez!

Why on earth are you not travelling every single day of the year? You're single, aren't you? No excuse at all. Free airfares is an amazing thing to have at your disposal. Get amongst it before it's not so easy to do so.
