Back to North
Back home I go with my newly dyed hair.
It was nice to have a little change of scenery but I did not miss these over 4 hour bus rides. I basically went north and back every two weeks most of last year so I’m pretty glad that I no longer have to commute for the relationship.
I’m always prepared with lots of snacks and warm clothing for the bus ride. I purposefully chose my down jacket because it feels like a fluffy sleeping bag and I always try to sleep most of the journey, otherwise it’s so darn boring. I get car sick if I read, knit or even scroll the internet for long so there’s not much to do other than nap, snack and listen to audiobooks and podcasts.
Luckily the bus etiquette in Finland dictates that barely anyone ever speaks or makes unnesessary noice and of course you only have to sit next to someone if the bus is nearly full. I’m always taking up two seats, legs on the other with my shoes off and wool socks on, it’s a very nice way to travel.
It’ll be dark before I’m home, because sunset is at 2pm.
Winter has already arrived in your regions
Yes it has, and not a moment too soon :)
Cool cool nice jacket and you amazing
Enjoy the journey Eve, I'm sure it'll be nice to be back home even if the sun goes down at a crazy hour. Safe Travels 🦋
Home is best, I miss it when I’m gone only a day 😅
...just wanted to ask what about just looking out the window, but with sunsets at 2 that could be difficult. even though all the snow landscapes must be awesome to watch!
I like the people of the north and the cold
What? No pictures of the snacks? Leshit.
Sunset 2pm WOW!!!!
Must be honest I dont use public transport, I really cant face mixing with the great unwashed, much prefer the solitude of my own car
It’ll only get worse for two more weeks 😁
It is a gamble to use public transport but usually on these long haul routes it’s pretty nice and civil, and I always pick times when it’s not very busy.
wise words!
get worse? sheeeeeeit really?
I have the same level of car sickness. The world became a better place when podcasts and audiobooks were invented. At least if I couldn't sleep, I could be entertained.
