Finland Tour

We took the BikeFridays to Helsinki and made our way all the way up to
Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle.

We took ferries and trains too but pedalled about 750 kilometers (500
miles). Finland is ideal for bicycle touring. There are excellent bike
route guides and maps, dedicated "bicycle roads" between many cities
and inside virtually all towns and cities. Drivers are courteous,
Daylight lasts a loooong time (in summer) and the country is virtually
flat.

Now that I'm over 60 we stay in hotels -- no more camping.

No hassle from TSA.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a nice trip.
