The mistake we made though, was going hell for leather the entire time. Better to take your time and enjoy the trip. We took a road trip a couple of years ago, from Lahti to Kuhmo in the east, then to Ivalo, on to Nordkapp in Norway, then Lakselv & Alta, then Rovaniemi, then back to Kuhmo. Took us a week, lots of driving but amazing trip. The scenery right across north scandanavia is fantastic. Such a trip should be in everyones top 5 of 'things to do before you die'. Here's a map of the trip: <img src="http://www.ssi-developer.net/main/images/Summer_2002_Travel_Map-wlines.gif" alt="map" /> I’d recommend it Deaglan!

Still, there's nothing like a long road trip to give you that sense of adventure. I was offered a free trip to Suomi from Co. Down via haulage truck to Germany, Sweden and across the sea to Kokkola. Sadly, it fell through at the last minute - but I'd give it another go if I had time to speare. Talk about taking the long way round!

It's a language you really need to work at to learn as the grammar totally sucks. She (fiancé, we didn't actually do the deed yet, even though I call her 'the missus') would move in a heartbeat.
