A bit of confusion at the finish line today. Nuppiz did an extra detour, but then an extra detour upon that detour, which mean she took longer than DigitDan, but Digitdan was not within the time limit... so Nuppiz remains second and Digitdan has got the bronze medal!

Amin is very likely to be 4th, but places 5 to 8 are still anyone's guess at this point. Well it's not gonna be Klon, that we know for sure.

So where do i get a Rhino? I stopped in a few supermarkets, a few museums even. Couldn't find anything, but got this can of Rhino's as a backup. Finally found a Sami craftshop and asked if they have it. They didn't, but for a decent enough amount of money they'd make it for me. Well fine, i spent the last bit of money i had with me on a crafted wooden rhino, but due to time limits, it didn't look great, you can tell it has horns, though.

Anyway i made it to Nordkapp, somewhat surprised only 3 participants have reached the goal before me, good to see some familiar faces again. Now with 3 participants, that does make 7 people, and some of them were colourful so we had a good drink and a campfire. Make that 9 once i opened up the trunk to release the sound-and-cameraguy of his duties.

I'm going to give myself another break from running this since i have trouble keeping up. It won't be too long. Expect more action late september or early october for the final legs.

Update, the surgery has made moving and typing a bit difficult, i think a bunch of people still need their current route and then wednesday you can put in your new legs, i will not do any rng's this time because of the physical reasons.
