<br/>
Thanks Jesper for solving &quot;my&quot; virus problem and thanks<br/>
everybody, especially Michael, for moral support.<br/>
<br/>
Yes, I visited FINOSE with my wife a couple of weeks ago,<br/>
and I&#39;ll display my pics when I get them developed.<br/>
In brief, we made two interesting border visits (Finland-<br/>
Sweden) apart from the tripoint trip.<br/>
<br/>
One, we explored the Tornio-Haparanda Green Zone<br/>
golf course, where you have to cross the international<br/>
border 3-4 times when playing the full route.<br/>
<br/>
Two, we crossed  the northernmost Finnish-Swedish<br/>
border (apart from tripoint paths), a suspension bridge<br/>
at Peera intended for pedestrians only; it is one metre wide <br/>
and allows only five people crossing at the time.<br/>
<br/>
Three, the tripoint trip was good. We had excellent weather,<br/>
took a boat from Kilpisjärvi across Lake Kilpisjärvi (7-8 km)<br/>
to Koltaluokta in Sweden, walked on Swedish soil for 3 km <br/>
to the tripoint, rounded the tripoint, followed a path that<br/>
straddled the Finnish-Norwegian border for almost 2 km<br/>
until it turned east towards Kilpisjärvi (another 9 km). Then<br/>
we had another 2 km to walk to get to our car in the harbour.<br/>
Tripoint # 26 conquered!<br/>
