I guess we did, and do..our week on Easter Island has been that, it's been amazing but there is not too much to see to be able to take it very easy. Next we will spend three whole weeks in French Polynesia, so resting will probably continue there :)
South Pacific, that should be a blast. I am looking forward to reading about it. With my job, I am only able to take about 3 weeks off at a time, so I swoop in, power travel and try to do as much as I can in my time.
What Great Pictures I have been following your blogs in anticipation of my upcoming trip. It sounds like you have seen some great things. Your Peru blogs brought back good memories of my trip in March. Enjoy the rest of your time and keep the great pictures coming.
Hi! Thanks! Are you planning on a longer trip in South America? Indeed, we have seen a lot of cool things on this continent, and are in anticipation to soon move on to the South Pacific. Stay tuned :-)
Hey! It was certainly interesting three days, even if at the same time intense. And btw, one curiosity forgotten from the text was that we both ate an ant - a popular snack/spice used by the locals, they did have a not-that-bad sour taste kind of like lemon:)
Hey! Hey Johanna & Leo - it was a pleasure hosting you in Toronto.
Your blog on Montreal has come in very handy for me as I will be taking my parents there for the first time. Looking forward to your next blogs and will be living vicariously through your travels!
Enjoy your travels! Hey
Just thought i'd drop a line, i was searching for tutkimusmatkailija on Google after a friend was banging on about it, took me forever to spell it right... and came across your blog! I'm kinda jealous would love to be doing what you're doing, but am limited to UK for now...
If you're ever in the UK and want somewhere to say, you could do a lot worse than my friends site: http://www.stayinbritain.co.uk
Thanks!
Hey! Wow, we have readers all the way in the UK! Cool! Unfortunately UK is not on our agenda on this trip, but perhaps sometime in the future. We just might take up on your offer then. And, yes, we do recognize that our nick is not exactly convenient for non-Finnish speakers, but too late to change it now :-)
Hi I got this block address from Mari and I have enjoyed seeing all the pictures and reading about your
adventure. Everything looks beautiful and I fully understand now why you wanted to see a place like
that even though it is cold and rainy very often over there. Have a nice continuation!
I love Crystal River It is great seeing you blogging from there. Love the manatee shots. It is been decades since I've done that. Your blog brought back some good memories.
Hello! We are happy u found our blog interesting :) Hope you also enjoy Minsk..Library was worth visiting, and also seemed one of the only points of interest we could find when we were surfing for what to see/do in Minsk. Surely there are many more interesting things, but we had short time to prepare and to spend there. Also, the athmosphere in Minsk could be considered as a one kind of "sight" in itself..
Help with travel questions My fiance and I are trying to travel to belarus russia in May of next year. he was adopted in the United States 14 years ago and has not seen his family since. We are trying to get over there to see them but it is proven to be a very difficult task. I have never traveled outside of the United States and we are confused regarding Visas and medical insurance. I have called the belarus embassy and consulate, but I would like some inside input on traveling there. if anyone can help please please please post on this blog
Hi! We only had a transit visa which allowed us to spend 48 hours in Belarus. That was surprisingly easy to get from the Belarus embassy in Kiev, much less bureaucratic than we would expect (whole thing took around 1,5 hours). Not sure what is the situation in the US, but here in Finland it's also possible, as far as I know, to get also a regular visa through some travel agencies without going to the embassy.
Terveiset Porista Koska tulette kotiin. Oli kiva lukea reissustanne. Olen käymässä Porissa ja leikkinyt joka päivä Pelle Hermannin puistossa ja Kids Festivalilla. Nyt on vähän mahavai´vaa mutta muuten kaikki on hyvin. Täällä sataa vettä mutta on lämmintä. Terveisiä Maria-äidiltä , Saralta, Leena-Mummilta ja Jaakko-ukilta. Hei tv Daniel ja Sara
Moi! Lähdetään todennäköisesti ylihuomenna kotimatkalle, mutta matka kestää pari-kolme päivää, koska tullaan juna-bussi-laiva-yhdistelmällä Tallinnan kautta. Täällä Kiovassa on helteistä ja vaihtelevasti aurinkoista. Terkkuja sinne kaikille! - J&L
According to fi.wikipedia.org: "An explorer (=tutkimusmatkailija) is a person who explores new areas by traveling there in person." Our nick came into being more as an internal joke, but it fits quite well to wikipedia's definition so we've kept it so far! :)
Although we don't aspire to become a new Ferdinand Magellan our goal is still to travel around the world. We are leaving on our trip in June 2013 and are planning to return to Finland in August 2014.
