PHOTOS:
I do live in Finland (North Europe) and after or before my trips to the USA, I love to visit some exotic countries.
After Joey Ramone Birthday Bash 2010 I traveled to Costa Rica etc. This year, 2011, I wanted to travel to some Caribbean island. Airfares were pretty expensive to many smaller Caribbean islands and I didn't want to go to Jamaica etc. I want to experience real nature outside of tourist places.

ST. LUCIA...
After 15-20 hours of searching I found a OK deal. Airfare was 548 US dollars to St. Lucia and back to New York. St. Lucia is small country located between Saint Vincent and Martinique. Country has a population of 174 000. I can honestly recommend island to people who doesn't wanna get in the middle of tourists. St. Lucia wasn't dangerous country. I really got experienced cloud rainforests etc.

Two upmost photos in this page are taken in St. Lucia. General cloud rain forest view in St. Lucia and me going in zip line above of cloud rain forest.

ICELAND...
I booked second time stopover and when returning to Europe I stayed one week in Iceland. Airplane company Icelandair offer chance to stay in Iceland before or after trip to North America for no additional airfare. Iceland is island as is St. Lucia, but so different to each other. Read here of exotic Iceland.
You can see two photos I was taken next to geyser, in first photo it is preparing to erupt and in next moment it is erupting in full power. One photo of me swimming (and mud in a face) is taken in huge geothermal spa named Blue Lagoon.

People who you can see in lowest photo in left are Ieunn Magnusdottir and Valgarour Guajonsson. I met Valgarour for the first time but we have known each other since 90's. He is singer-guitarist in a Icelandic band named Fraebbblarnir. Fraebbblarnir were formed in 1978 and people who has read my first book Heaven Needed A Lead Singer: Fans Remember Joey Ramone or is familiar with tribute album Life's A Gas: A Tribute To Joey Ramone, might remember Valgarour and Fraebbblarnir. Tribute album got published by Canadian label AMP Records, owned by Larry Retard.
Fraebbblarnir has on this tribute album song called Heaven Needed A Lead Singer (they used this my generated title with my permission), it's beautiful song and lyrics are really touching.
After Iceland I returned to Finland. Here was a story of my trip in May-June, 2011.
