Gluten Free Finland
After reaching the most northern point of mainland Europe, the only option was to head South. The end of the rally was Tallinn so this meant driving down through all of Finland. It took us five days to reach the top of Norway and we were now heading to the south of Finland in only two.

The first stop on our Northern Lights Rally was Amsterdam.

Gluten Free running in Malta
