Suit jogging in HydePark, London, UK

Missing London tube

Once again, I got good learning what can happen, if you are not ready enough. I managed to mess up again. First of all, when I go somewhere, I am normally optimized my movements so well, that there are not time for big mistakes. I had hotel Hilton HydePark. Well, during that times when I was later spending time every month in London, I remembered Hilton hotel near HydePark... has to be that, so why take map with me or aything other. After getting down from the air, you just take Heathrow Express train to Paddington, buy a 24 hour ticket to zones 1 and 2 (not even very expensive, but extremely usefull) and start going on....

Well, this is what I did and I managed to surf by using the tube lines to HydePark metrostation. I take off and climbed to surface, saw my Hilton about 500 meters way, so I wanted to walk there with my luggages of course.... I walked to reception when I noticed, that this damn hotel is defently Hilton HydePark, but Hilton Metropolitan... so so..... asking help and they said, that you have about 2-3 km walk or you can take a tube... I selected tube and walked to near station, which was pretty much in the middle of that 2-3 km walk.... to found out that it was closed.... So you can imagine when I was struggling with my luggages and nice small shoes and sweating badly, how happy I was....

Eventually I managed to get to the Hotel and thank god I got shower immediately, because my miserable life could be even more terrible if I would not get the room immediately!!!

Well.... my point of view, the Hilton HydePark was small and pretty cosy hotel, even for some reason the service in reception was more or less not very professional....or at least not in the same level than I have used to when I visit in Hilton hotels... the reception was slow, arrogant, asking stupid questions several times as well as when i asked something, they answered to me, like they would speak to moron (well.... maybe they did, but I should be customer). I was waiting first about 15 minutes when the lady there was speaking to the phone by directing step by step some other to hotel, other girl was doing something and when I took eye contact, she disappeared. Then I got the service and room eventually... Hotel position in in the very intereting tube line, so you need change almost immediately during next stations if you even want to somewhere...

well.... no matter what was the name of metrostation, there are 123 steps to up or down (Queens....something)

Fishing BIG in Kotka archipelago, Finland

Interesting fixed fishing competition, the legendary "LUUKUN FISUKISA" was arranged again during this autumn in the exactly same place and near same time than every year. This time the participants was Tommy, Rami and Tapsa... so we were missing our number one Fishing king, "Kimmo the King Kaasinen", who had things to do as well our friend Make, who constantly invent all kind of phrases and keep up stories and jokes. Well... this year we just needed to stay with three of us, which was also nice and the best issue was, that we managed to fit to the same boat.

This time, there are three guys with same kind of extremely high sport targets, no matter if we are speaking about fishing or running marathon, so in that sense, because we are once again in highly motivated tight diet, Rami was just bought about 2 kg of meet, 5 x 5 sausages, 3 kg of potatoes for three of us for 2 days, so in that sense, we didn't need to suffer too much from lack of food and Tommy, who reads a lot (I assume), told that this kind of "eat meat as much as you can" type of diet is very healthy and called as "Atkins diet"... well... suits fine for me :-)

What happen in fishing side, is then a story about different.... Sea is full of fishes, even big ones, but this time we did mutual agreement, that we take the biggest one away during next year, because our stories would be so surprisingly impressive, that Kimmo or Make probably would never believa us :-)

right.....

What happens if you give camera to 7 years boy and 5 years old girl at the evening time without controlling anything what they are doing.... well, this is endresult for that.... or what I could say.... Laura is interested about posing and Lassi, which is more engineer type of the mindset, is interested about technical issues and camera and picture as well as taking those more than fooling around in front of camera.... I was fixing light system of car while this happens... they found my camera and got that working without help, then these pictures I found from my camera later on... I was pretty amazed in positive way :-)
