Hello everyone!
Guess where we are today?
We´re back in Finland!
I thought to make this video in Finnish due to some of the topics and their literature, and it would be harder to translate other way.
So sorry for all you English viewers out there, I'm not gonna be talking this in your native language, but in my native tongue instead.
Blah blah blah, I already wrote that once!
So! How is everyone doing?
I'm doing quite alright by myself in fact.
I'm now a real poor fellow!
Today I spent abooout...
800 euros!
It just vanished like poof!
Never to be seen again!
Just kidding, money is meant to be exchanged.
But yeah, it's a little late friday night right now.
I msot likely won't be getting this video ready while it's still Friday...
Yesterday on Thursday, pretty much nothing special happened...
Well, if we don't count the fact that I sat half the day in toilet...
I'm not sure whether it was the old minced meat, or just barely old creme fraiche...
Some of the day went sobering from that, but the evening come and my stomach settled.
And I didn't start making another video, but instead took the opportunity of a day otherwise: I went to jogging.
And while on the jog...
Or actually just before the jogging I made a new friend from a cat, who kept rounding my camper van! She was a cutie :3
She was really tame and well behaving. Probably she was orphan, or abandoned or otherwise runaway... Or maybe she was someone's cat from nearby,
because of how well she behaved, came begging for scratching and jumped onto lap all the time. And she loved the ham. Such a cutie!
I really would have liked to take her with me, but decided otherwise...
If I'm gonna get/adopt an animal on the way, it will be most likely a dog.
Yesterday didn't happen anything else besides that. I tinkered in the car and got some minor fixings finished: an extra power outlet, safe on it's place...
All that kind of small things I still got on my list.
But, today on Friday: I packed my car in the morning, and headed straight away to the tire change!
We had setup a time at 10:30am, and BOY was it fast!
I pretty much drove to the shop, they opened the door right away and signaled me to drive in, and so I did.
And I can't even step outside the car, when there's already two jacks lifting the car already from the ground!
"I'll just... Go to the coffee room next door."
It took no more that maybe 15 minutes, until one of the guys already comes waving me back and says: Finished!
Meanwhile I just managed to pay for the operation, and this was the cheapest one I found from this city:
4 Pieces of big summer tires plus the installation on rims: 620 euros!
Not bad! Not bad considering that it was almost the same price,as would have been in Finland. Like... YES!
At least not everything in Norway is crazy expensive!
Well, from there I started driving towards Kilpisjärvi. I drove almost the full length in one sit, except for one pit stop:
When there happened to be on the way a real caravan stop, where you could empty your waste tank, fill your waters, there was a beach etc.
Later I made it to Kilpisjärvi, and you could literally tell... If you can just make out...
There, where it's more mountains and all that, it's the Norway. And here, where it gets flat, it's Finland!
It feels almost hilarious to see the height differential this clearly between Finland and Norway!
The moment you enter the Finnish ground: everything turns into pancake!
There where Norway has actual mountains...
But, I got to Kilpisjärvi. Everything went well, I got the winter tires on their way to South. And regarding that, I got something else also to tell, but more about that soon.
Another thing here was, a JOY even, as I got to the grocery store! And all the prices are like:
"Aaah, it's all so CHEAP!!!"
"The food is so cheap here!!"
Or not cheap actually, but still A LOT cheaper when compared to the other side of the border!
I bought about 40€ worth of food for the next week, no joking. I'm gonna survive with this for at least a week and longer!
I made a decision not to go shopping for food in Norway anymore. Hence the reason why I bought so much food now, so I can survive the trip to Lofoten.
Yeah! But then let's get back to the tires shipping operation:
Once we had weighted out the tires and come to conclusion that it's gonna be about 45-47€, and I thought:
Well not too bad actually! I had prepared for the shipping to cost something about 75€ since we are talking about 4 big tires that need to be sent to the other end of Finland.
I asked from the clerk that what is the policy about empty gas bottles, since I now have a total of 3 bottles with me,
from which one is kind of dead weight from here on out. So I asked if there are any return policies regarding these bottles, like a pawn/pledge you could get back...
And the answer I got, was pretty much "Nope, there's none. No money back from these."
When I had always thought that it is kind of a pawn/temporary payment for the time when you need a gas bottle.
In other words, the value for that aluminium canister/bottle empty is that 30€ everywhere... Apparently not, it is kind of worth 30€, but you'll have to sell it to individual...
And so the clerk told me that I can leave the bottle there next to the other empty bottles, it'll get recycled from there or something...
So I thought about it there for a moment while changing the other empty bottle for a full one and getting the tires from car.
And I thought that:
"So I would be basically giving away the bottle worth 30€, or dragging it along for the rest of my journey..."
And so I concluded: "Hell no!"
Rather I would PAY...
And this is where the Finnish selfishness came out the most!
Because I decided that I would rather pay an extra 10€ for the shipping costs, to get the gas bottle with the winter tires to home address!
I'm just gonna send it home to be stored for later use, or to be changed to a composite gas bottle or afterwards sell to other individuals for a small profit.
Anyways, there you have some of today's thoughts. I'll be staying here at least overnight, enjoying the Finnish unlimited 4G network connection.
I'll be uploading this video and see tomorrow if all the downloads are ready as they should...
I accidentally managed to burn away 5Gb's worth of data from my other cellular data-plan while in Norway...
As all of a sudden I noticed my Spotify downloading playlists automatically on the computer again over cellular, that it had DELETED by itself moments ago!
It pretty much wasted 5 out of 10Gb's from my data plan for nothing...
Luckily there's only half a month left on this billing cycle, so I think we can manage!
About tomorrow: I'll be probably heading towards the Lofoten as evening progresses. I just filled all the gasoline, water tanks, fridge and food storage here.
Here where it's still cheaper.
And I'll try to get to Lofoten fast in a sense, that I wouldn't have to spend money on food while in Norway! The very least I'll do is get gasoline on the way ONCE, but no groceries!
I have learned my lesson about Norwegian prices...
Nothing else for this time, thank you yet again for watching! And as always, I hope to see you in the next video!
See you later! CIAO!
