Norway and Finland (24th July 2002 - 3rd August 2002)

"The World's Most Beautiful Voyage". The Norwegians really mean it! I had wanted to make this journey for the past 3 years and this year, I finally did it! I am very pleased with my entire trip from Oslo to Honningsvåg (North Cape) to Helsinki. I managed to visit some familiar places in Finland and also meet up a with friend in Rovaniemi whom I last met in December 1996. There were many memorable moments throughout my journey that I will never forget. I have captured some of these moments in this website.
