Didn’t know which thread to ask this, but i’ll fire away… Is there anywhere I’d be able to get dollars without having to wait? Being told by others that you’ve to order them. Only about $80, for a present.

For that amount, you can get them straight away at the FX desk in any decent sized credit union. Got $100 about six weeks ago, no hassle.

Any decent sized post office branch should have it also.

I’m gonna say that hat isn’t fit for purpose in Finland.

I hope it’s Rovaniemi you’re in.

Enjoy pal trip of a lifetime

Surely there will be at least one or two people who haven’t heard you did a marathon over there anyway :clap::clap::clap:

The sauna expert position on TFK is vacant, so do a bit of research and make it your own. Finns drink the most coffee in the world, per head if you will. I thought, who could drink more coffee than these fucking swedes??? The Finns do. Not sure however if it’s that they drink more cups, or whether they win this competition by putting more scoops of ground in the filter coffee machine than their neighbours. Solemn bunch, who don’t talk a lot but make good friends. The best icebreaker, pardon the pun with a Finn is telling them how impressed you are with how they beat the Russians in the winter war. They will respond almost always, whether true or false that their grandfather or great grandfather was involved. However, it disarms their defences. Enjoy, and don’t be afraid to ask a local for a sauna recommendation. It could be a great adventure.

Is this the kind of hat you had in mind?

Magnificent forehead in fairness

I think my trip is a little different to your rollicking around bollock naked in a sauna scenario, pal. It’s more reindeer, huskie & sleigh rides, snow mobiles & tubing, meeting Santa & Mrs Claus in their secret village & that kind of thing. I did have a few pints in a bar the other night while watching Big Ev & Roma dismantle Celtic though.

PS, I have a ski mask/balaclava under the beanie @myboyblue. So all good on the hat front.

Enjoy mate, it’s a great trip, with great memories for the kids

If you were wearing clothing south of the neckline, it doesn’t count.

Have we a TFK top 5/10 of eurocamp type ‘campsites’ for a family with middle aged kids 9-13 bracket? Pools, slides, activities etc

Ferry or fly?
