1. 42^Tappa Vyborg – Lappeenranta

 

2. Map construction

 

3. I leave the Gazidin (hotel) in the outskirts of Viborg. Before leaving xò I stop near Cemetery resigned (see previous stage)

 

4. Viborg is a very strange deployed in several parts ..maybe this is due to its location between the sea islands on the rivers and lakes

 

5. Its monuments "encase" and testify to the various past times and treated ...

 

6..eppure ... The sun in any way you look at it ... or figuring.. always the same

 

7. Pedal boat in a lake environment

 

8Scots ... everywhere ... and spreads a perfume timber

 

9 As you get close to the Finnish border ... I do not know if the pedals on the mainland or on islands

 

10.strani Signs confirm the impression ...

 

11.in Fact overflights ... drawbridges

 

12So ... here as the water is moving around even the fickle variable.. road

 

13. ..I keep as a reference point fixed stop me the bike

 

14..but also she moves and how it moves from Petosino if Bergamo brought me up here

 

15. water and still water underneath ... therefore right and left fortunately not from above at least x days ...

 

16... It's a beautiful day and does not even ..only the cold wind as you can see by the ripples of the lake is felt

 

17. After a 40 km I am close to the border.. I remember the last photo in the Russian territory

 

18. The long line of cars tells me that now the border is really close

 

19. In the Russian border planking to a beautiful scene.. I hope to maintain a long memory

 

20..2 military women (incredulous at seeing me in bike) smile and flirty while I "speak" (at least try) bring you to put on makeup.

 

 

 

 

22.Passing the border,km of trucks in the queue waiting for a visa to Russia x;waiting cucinano..x a different scent every nationality =

 

23..how many sacrifici..il Ours is a mutual rispetto..ma are now in Europe eureka finally I almost feel a little home ...

 

24.Tir are few pass you(a soli50km/h)wide distanza..inoltre not stink of diesel fuel rather than "timber" almost their only cargo

 

25. Even the landscape changes. You can see the forests and grasslands with beautiful houses ... I would love to visitarne at least one inside

 

26.Every city has Finnish 1UfficioInformazioni that facilitates everything, x such as research: accommodation, bikeservice,route,internet ecc..

 

27..are incredulous when I tell:you should not apologize,we happen benissimo.Parlo maleenglish but their attitude and attention facilitates

 

28.In the cities you can find pretty much everything ... it falls into.. civilization,anzi..oltre..confesso that x only curiosity I wanted to get to see the strange "show"

 

29..then x does not usually give rise to(unfortunately always consolidated)prejudice of Italian football and pizza = sex I gave up willingly

 

30. in the various public gardens girls turn sbragate..mi report that 1 calda..da their day so happens a few times in a year

 

31. strangely so you can walk freely in the garden(Curate)the cemetery behind the church

 

32. View of the beautiful day makeup also refer to the same church, by steep roofs x snow, I say fall often and copious

 

33.The churches are built of wood, x 'retain heat better in the harsh and long winter, Serve a xciò > maintenance

 

34Anyway ... no shortage of lights and colors twirls x break any melancholy greyness ...

 

35. The buildings have porches closed; Finns make us the kitchen the living room gym etc.. the "live" x cope with the low light

 

36.Finland is the kingdom of the bike.. I have no problems in finding a cyclist, I changed the chain by now worn and posterior crowns

 

37.The people are friendly and extraordinarily kind,meeting even Mary Poppins umbrella cn much of rice paper and bamboo

 

38.The cars stop to let x attraversare..incredulo you do not believe your eyes,or your ears when you say yes then under stand calendar which you have well understood
