On my way to Steemfest

(Edited)

This is my second attempt to post, the first being wrecked when eSteem client decided to lock me out of with it's password system.

We are now at Helsinki awaiting the long haul, me with some trepidation.

What you see is what you may receive at Steemfest. These are remnants of last years trip that I found when rummaging around looking for luggage.

Anyone who has been to an all inclusive holiday will be familiar with wrist bands. You will get one in Bangkok which is to stop any old jack in the lad coming through the door.

I did pay particular attention to pack the tea for @livinguktaiwan. Yesterday I spotted some cheaper Twinnigs in Sainsbury’s but it was not quite the same type.

These Twinnings all look a little similar.

So now I’m back to using busy for my on the go posts. I can’t seem to make friends with any of the proper apps.

Finland is an animal activist nightmare. Reindeer hides are for sale everywhere, or are in the airport.

That is as well as all this strange local chocolate that I have never seen before.

@goblinknackers has picked up some whiskey from the duty free. He’s gonna open it in Bangkok. I’ll try a little but I’m not a great fan of the hard stuff.

@celestal passed through this airport just 24 hours before us. I thought we were early but others are already there.

We are about to board and I’m going to down a sleeping tablet and hope it puts me out for the whole trip.

See you soon Bangkok crew!

Have a great time. It is good that many will come home from Steemfest inspired and hopefully share it with the rest of us.

Fazer chocolate is damn good though.

Ooh, I can't wait to see what kind of whiskey Goblin got. That would probably be all I needed to get me through the trip. I hope you have a safe flight!

He picked up a large bottle of Oban something or other. We may see it opened at some point.

I’ll try and write often then. Hopefully not in the middle of the night due to the jet lag I’m suffering. Almost missed breakfast this morning.

I’m seeing some familiar faces again wandering about, it’s going to be fun.

How exciting - I just arrived at 12.30 am Bangkok time after a 28 trip all in from Hereford, which wasn’t actually that bad. If you’re in the Prince Palace bring yr own bags up, it’ll avoid an awkward tip the Porter moment.

See you tomorrow sometime. Bit paranoid about using my mobile btw... BT charges £5 a megabyte for data over here. I may even take my SIM cards out for the next month!

I sent you a message on discord yesterday. Use the free wifi in the Palace, it works well from the rooms too.
