After a long break, due to the holiday season in which I have been wandering around eastern Europe, I'm back to slowly update the weblog. I am on the Ensco 72 in Holland, and my access to the net is limited, so this will take a few days. When I left the rig in December I flew to Russia. I spent some time there, but it was so cold that I did not go out much. I got some cool soviet badges, I will post about them when I get good photos. For the moment I prefer to talk about my New Year in Helsinki. It was THE GREATEST NY in my life. What a cool city. The weather very mild, just -2 to +2, against the -18 I had had in Russia days before. Hours of fireworks to say goodbye to 2005, lots of souvenirs related to mooses, my favourite annimal, and snow. Thanks to all for visiting my weblog, including the people who stop me on the street to congratulateme me for the cool photos (no bullshit, this has happened) Gracias, Edu, por tus felicitaciones, y sobre todo por visitar la web. Te has ganado que no te mande a los grises para Reyes. More to come...

The Bay and the City Centre of Helsinki shortly after NY.

The Art-Deco statues in the main train Station in Helsinki.

I swear that this is not Mars. This was a park near the hotel. The water in the fountain was not frozen and the sky was red. Weird.

Fireworks in the main square by midnight. It was so very nice. I recommend Helsinki to everybody. If yo hear that it is a very expensive city, well... it is expensive, but since Euro Madrid is not so cheap anymore. I have to go guys. I'll be back with more as soon as I can.

Espero que os gusten las fotos. Helena, si ves esto desde Noruega, te deseo que los Reyes se pasen por tu plataforma y te dejen algo que no sean hidrocarburos... je je, chiste del mundo del petroleo.

Carla, edpanola, que te traigan muchas cosas a ti tambien. Beto, Nuria, que me engraseis la tuneladora, y a ver si es verdad que teneis otro Nazare.
