4:34 Stepping outside, the sun is shining, such a beautiful morning. The light - which you can feel only with good imagination - is coming from an extraordinary angle, it is summer, despite of only +7 degrees. Luck is to have water thrown from a glas to the street traditional Turkish way for making the journey go smoothly. Breezyness makes me wonder if I really can leave the Gore-tex jacket home. Well, sometimes you just need to believe.
5:03 The railway station. Quiet, sunny city. People are having varying amounts of clothes, the destinations probably vary as much. It feels so good not to be among the ones who are having a woolly hat. I only have my just-in-case-jacket, which wouldn't be enough for six weeks' trip anywhere in Finland. But this adveture is taking me further.
5:33 The train moves, one of the best feelings ever. There is just the road and the wild unknown, some kind of hints about what will be waiting over there, but not too much. The excitement can be felt in the fingertips, toes and tummy. The smile is long-lasting and wide. The mind is open and emptying from the sorrows of the "normal" life. There is no turning back which means that there is nothing which could stop the journey. Life is now, adventure is now, here we go.
