Beginning

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
-Bilbo Baggins-

With these words from Tolkien I start my netbglog, traveldiary of my journey from Helsinki to Uluru. Last month I have been dreaming, wandering about journey, not sure is going to happen or not. Today the day of januarys full moon the things are finally getting real. Visa application to russia have been sended. Day of departure will be after one month on fabruarys full moon. In my mind I am allready walking in St Petersburg, wandering in Malesian rainforests, learning shadow theatern in Indonesia. Anyway at the same time I'm here, In my everyday life, spending rainy tuesday morning in library. I Think about my friends, cafes, streets of Helsinki. I understand it.. I will miss you!
