December 22nd, 2010 by BLOGitse received No Comments »I’m on my way back to Casa.
I should be there on Thursday but as you all know
there’s a chaos in Europe because of the snow.
There’s more snow in Helsinki than in Lapland!
UPDATE:
I made it back to Casa almost on time!
Lufthansa‘s staff was REALLY nice and
did their best for us passengers. Well done!
I want to wish you all
Happy holidays! Merry Christmas!
Leppoisaa joulunaikaa!

Good luck on your way back to Casablanca! I hope the airport is working!
Beautiful pics. of the market in Helsinki – extra lovely with the snow everywhere!
Have a very merry Christmas!!!!
Hyvää matkaa ja hyvää joulua ja jos jää Keski-Euroopan lumivyöryyn kiinni, soittele ja annan turvapaikan, ettei tarvi nukkua lentokentän kenttävuoteessa.

Höh, juuri kävin suomalaisessa blogissasi toteamassa että jäitkin sinne jouluksi!! Etkä sitten kuitenkaan! Tai ehkä silti.. Anyway, Oikein mukavaa joulua missä sitä lopulta vietätkin (toivottavasti et sentään millään lentokentällä).
Uiii,miten paljon lunta! Kiitos näistä Helsinki-kuvista,tuli hetkellinen ikävä….
Ja toivottavasti pääset helposti takaisin Casaan.-
Rauhallista Joulua ja Onnellista Uutta Vuotta!
Hope you can make safe passage back to Casa! Weather is crazy, everywhere! Here, unusually warm. I enjoyed these photos, all the little shoppes, and everybody so bundled up!
Hope you get to Casa without any bigger delays.
Have a nice Christmas and try to get some rest!!!
Look at all those hearty people walking about in the snow at an outdoor market! I love how the landscape looks covered in snow, and the warm glow from the vendor’s stalls. Good for you getting out there, taking it all in, and sharing it with us here. I hope you have a safe and smooth trip back to Casa and wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Those Christmas markets are so interesting. Correct me if I’m wrong but did that tradition start in Germany?
Merry Christmas – Best of luck on the travels.
BACK IN CASA!
The flight was only 20 mins late.
Now I try to get back on track and daily routine…
First of all I have to go to recharge my mobile credit. ALL mobile sims are prepaid here, so you know what that means
My suitcase was quite heavy so I had piece of Finnish ham in my hand luggage.
He laughed. Crazy woman…I know… 
A guy in custom asked what that round package was. I said it’s Finnish ham and you don’t take it – it’s for my husband!
So we are going to have real Finnish xmas ham tomorrow – yummy nam nam!
I’m glad to hear that both you and your ham made it safely back to Casa! Merry Christmas!
Hyvää Joulua!
Thank you for this much needed escape into memories of back home. Years since last I saw snow … Please have a safe and not too difficult journey !
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you!
Beautiful Christmasy pictures!
Hope you will have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year, my friend!
Much love to you from Jakarta!
Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!! May Peace be your gift at Christmas (or any other holiday you celebrate) and your blessing all year through.
Wow – that market looks wonderful! I hope we’ll get a day or two of snow here this year…
Interesting post.
It does all look a bit cold though.
Happy holiday to you, Boonie
Market days are always fun, bringing a little cheer to a snow-covered day in winter, we only got 7 inches or so, but such is life in the Nor’lunds!!!
Hope the moving went well and your flu has been conquered…now time to enjoy your sunny Casablanca…have a joyous New Year…see ya in the next one!
