Happaranta(Schweden) Part II

After visiting the water power plant in Oulu,   it was time to end the evening with a little bit of drinking and talking in "Hemmingways" :)

The prices here in Finland are higher than in Germany.  For a typically finnish beer(0,5l), you have to pay about 6,50 € in a pub.
So better visit the next KSupermarket and  buy it there ( 0,5 l = 2-3 € ).

But before the trip to Happaranta(Sweden) starts,  we should better get some sleep in a known Hotel :)

The Bus to Happaranta via Kemi left early in the morning about 9am.

It took us about 3h of travel to get there. There was no border, so we just could walked to Sweden, and doing a timetravel for 1 hour in between a few minutes.[2 pm in Kemi(Finland), 1pm in Happaranta(Sweden)

The main-destination for this day was a well-known place, called IKEA :)

After 3h of excessive Shopping in IKEA,  it was time to take the next bus to KEMI and get back to Rovaniemi. But there were some small differences and problems with the swedish bustables.

It was not obvious, which time the bus timetables are going to show us,  whether the finnish or the swedish time. Many discussions with the group and the employers from Ikea, the Bus-Organisation, Busdrivers and local People, we made our way home. It took us about 3,5 h to get into the right bus,  Welcome to the friendly and nice country in Sweden. There were some very unfriendly people around us!

Back in Oulu, we could at least relax a little bit, and enjoyed the not shining sun,  281 K, wind and of course the beach and the sea.
