It’s raining and I like it
The weather in New Zealand is quite cold at the moment. I really dig it. The wet and cold city makes me feel like I’m back in Finland. This morning I decided to walk to the fish market but ended up to a totally different kind of market. More about that in the near future…
French Polynesian diaries
Maybe around 6 weeks all around French Polynesia was quite the adventure. So to put the experience in few paragraphs here is how it all more or less went down.
Arriving to Marquesas Island of Fatu Hiva having just suffered some set backs with health was quite the experience. Amazing landscape and friendly people all around. [...]

So I hope you have to patience as well. Thanks!

Yesterday’s writings and today’s photos
Great I just lost half an hours writings. Do not comment: “Just write it again.”
It doesn’t work that way.
Anyway, photos of todays grocery shoppings.
Main sail is up! Apparently it’s Semana Santa
Couple of days of work with the new main sail and now it’s good to go. Few more adjustments and veggie shopping and we’re off! If all goes well, on Monday this mainland will be just a memory – A big memory.
It’s also Semana Santa, Latin Americas’ biggest religious happening and vacation week.
