Final Day in Helsinki

Kuten jo Münchenissä epäiltiin, laukut ei sit tulleet mukana. Käytiin kentällä tekemässä niiden katoamisilmotukset. Olis tietenkin ollut helpompaa jos ne meille annetut laukku tagit olis kertoneet jotain meidän laukkujen reitistä. Oltiin ite ...
Geenimutaatio?
Nyt on kamat pakattu, kämppä siivottu, tiskit tiskattu ja kuuma kylpy sekä lasi valkoviiniä odottamassa. Ei siis hullummin siihen nähden, että bussi lähtee tasan 10 tunnin päästä. Tässähän ehtii jopa nukkua! :) Jostain kumman syystä ...
