Off to an exchange semester in Uppsala, Sweden but first some errant backpacking, followed by the rest of Europe once uni's done!

Lovely Lulea

Arrived from the overnight train, realised that there wasn't many places to stay in Rovaniemi (that wouldn't have cost me a shitload), and so attempted to make it to Kiruna across the border in Swedish Lapland. And failed miserably. Made it most of the way there to Lulea - after first nearly freezing to death after misunderstanding gestures from a Finnish bus driver who spoke no english and standing outside in -15degrees for over 1/2 hour. Magically I stumbled my way onto 2 correct buses with not a minute to spare for each one and made it to Lulea, which is about a 3 hour bus from Kiruna. I fell into Best Western, payed a criminal amount of money for a room and cried a little for the low low prices of Estonia.

 It is a nice town here, but I should have stayed in Rovaniemi as the weather was better and I may have had a a chance of seeing the lights. Ah well. I now have no real plans (other than catching the bus to Kiruna in a couple of hours). I just need to make my way to Uppsala, where my uni is, in about a week's time. So, my blog is now up to date (if anyone actually reads it) and it is time to go. Where to next? I have no idea, but i am sure it will be fun getting there. Adios, and I miss you all... well most of you.
