Last call for cheap beer - if nobody says anything I won't bring any beer with me.

I'm still willing to bring a case of Belgiums Finest with me (Jupiler) but since Eye-Q has to carry it, and he's made it clear he doesn't want to ferry it all the way round the trip someone had better help me drink it.
Or I could just bring cans, that way we're not left with an empty crate/bottles that need to be brought back.
I don't know a beer called "something", and why do you want me to buy you an Opel? (Added to my shopping list)Sorry, didn't notice your earlier call! I'll take a crate of something. Astra is fine.
Added to my shopping list.6-pack of mineral water for me, thank you.
Good idea, but cans here in Germany cost 25 ct deposit as well so if we don't want to chuck money away they still need to be brought back. In that case a crate is much more convenient since the cans mustn't be deformed to be accepted in a deposit machine.Or I could just bring cans, that way we're not left with an empty crate/bottles that need to be brought back.

One more item for the shopping list...One crate of Oettinger or something cheap please, I'll leave it at the cottage so it's not touring all over the world.
Yeah, I was just contemplating about myself bringing cans.Cans don't carry a deposit in Belgium, so we can justthrow them awayrecycle them after use.
1000NOK/l beer
I just had a chat with a friend who "spontaneously" went to the north cape and he told me some things to consider:
- Bring Mosquito repellent! At the momentnorthernwhole Finland is swamped with Mosquitos apparently...
- Sometimes in Finland there is no fuel station for 200 km so if your tank shows less than that, fill up at the very next station. In Norway the net is tighter.
- Fill up to the brim before you enter Norway, fuel is fucking expensive there (we all knew that beforehand though)
- In northern Finland there is a high chance of encounteringelks/moosereindeer on the road, sometimes they won't leave the road for 10 minutes
He flew to Helsinki, went by train to Joensuu (yes, we've been there last year), rented a car there, went to Ivalo in one day (!), to the north cape the next day and then back on the western coast of Finland (Oulu).

That's a detour of 80 km on a leg which is already 485 km long according to google maps...
