FINLAND AND BACK INTO NORWAY DAY 122 345 km

Departed at 8:30 am for Finland, so went SE and then half way in Finland went NE to the very north ,right by Russia now. 

The foliage is starting to change colour, the scenery is not exciting, just rolling hills and trees the entire day with very few vehicles on the road, only saw three cyclists all day. You barely know you have crossed the border, the roadsigns are yellow and black and you can do 100kmph. Trees and more trees.

    Roadside repairs are so much fun in Finland.

    Finland border welcome sign.

Had to stop and change brake pads as I felt something wasn't right in the rear, then decided to change the fronts as well. Took off and there was still something wrong so stopped and saw the pin holding the pads was touching the disc, so removed the pads and with no back brakes continued on. Proceeded slowly and still the rear got worse so stopped again only to see the wheel bearing had failed. So limped into Hessing and stopped at the Esso gas station, luckily they have a small take away and some searing with free wi fi and close at midnight, so have already been here since 4, sucking their wifi. 

There is a Suzuki dealer over the road that opens at 7 am so hopefully I can get this sorted. Going to be a long night on the asphalt next to my girl.

    10pm all set up for the night.

    4 am and it's so light, had to take a leak.
