 All right kids Rudolph won't be making it this year He can't up and if that's not cool enough. Check out this be a meat and be a pate in terms of to try it Actually, I want to take it home, but I have a feeling that customs will take it off me. So silly customers All right, so it's my last day here in Helsinki I'm about to fly north to Oluk Just about an hour flight north Getting up towards the North Pole to find Santa Claus So I'm telling people anyway So it's been a great trip, but I thought I'd Quickly come down into the city and check out the local markets here If you ever come to Helsinki stand one of the Scandic hotels They included breakfast is insane like insane. There's so much food, but it's it's really good stuff as well But yeah, let's go check out these markets and enjoy the last hour or two and in the city So I thought the beer pate can be a pate was pretty cool. I took this up reindeer hide. I've got to get one of these So I ended up buying a reindeer hide. I just really hope that I can get it into customs fingers crossed I just landed in Oluk and Finland, which is a half like north of Helsinki Gonna bite it up to the ordering office which is here in Oluk, so I thought I'd come up and spend Sunday night here and then Get into the office on the Monday Just some interviews with them like podcasts and stuff YouTube about the new ring. So they'll be exciting and yeah for 45 here in the morning and I am about to do my return leg to New Zealand 44 flights. It's about 40 hours of traveling It's going to be a long day. So I just pulled up my flight studs here. This is this is kind of crazy I'll get in midday on Thursday just under 48 hours of traveling. It's gonna be a big trip But it's been really fun here had amazing time in Finland. Yeah, hopefully you guys have enjoyed Some of the insights into Finland Helsinki. I am going to go get ready for this flight And yeah in there very cool airport so I can go up to the lounge Get access to the lounge here since I flew to the business class and it's a really nice lounge Like it's incredible. It's like three or four different cafe restaurants So much going on up there showers and everything but since I got so much time I thought I would wander around check it out a few little shops So I just booked in at the vitality spot Here in Doha airport. Going to get a foot massage Hit the gym and then should be good. Good way to kill 8 or 9 hours. Alright guys the foot massage done was good. Nice and relaxing. It'll be too relaxing actually. I'm just going to go get my gym session and check this out You got to check this gym out. Not too bad for an airport gym, huh? It's like better than It's better than any hotel gym I've seen and it's better than some 24 hour gyms I've seen. Can you see why I'm so excited? There's no one here. No one. But that's not all. I'll pick this up Squash court. Full squash court but not just one. There's two of them. Like what the hell. This is at an airport. I've actually been here about four times now And I've never seen anyone at the gym or in the squash court. It's crazy. So maybe push pull supersets to make it a bit more time efficient. Just press with a row. So horizontal push pull, vertical push pull, some lower body. And what I might do is like work the weight up to start with like a seat of 15s and maybe all the way down to a seat of six and then on that last one I'll just do a massive dropset. And if I'm feeling really good at the end of it I may even do some sprints on the bike or the row. Let's go lift some weights. Horizontal push pull. That was hard. I should practice what I preach and say you know wrap it up now but all I'm going to do is put a bit of load through the back shoulders from the vertical plane and then one or two lower body exercises just to get a bit of load on the muscle on the joint. Again my ordering score has been pathetic so generally I wouldn't even buy the training on with the numbers I'm seeing. You know so many people would get off the plane 24 hours later go back to the usual gym routine. Yeah even me with all my bio hacks and supplements and everything but he's just like yeah we're not up for this so anyway I'm not going to video the next one because the machines are opposite ends of this gym and that would just look you've just seen me walking back and forth. So then I'll video the leg tour leg exercises at the end but again nothing special here just supersets pushing to failure one or two sets and then wrapping it up. All right that's a wrap I'm toast that was really tough so I'm not going to do arms because he really cares about arms anyway and it's not really enjoyable when you feel like that as well like I trained for fun you know I mean there's the health component as well but it's hard to do something you don't enjoy. I know I mentioned I'd finished with like the cardio worker with some sprints because I haven't done them in a long time. I decided that body's not up to it but then I felt bad because I did say I would. So what I'm going to do I'm going to see if I can swim a length of this I'm not the best one though like seriously well it's only 1.2 meters deep so I think I would say if I get to the end and survive okay it's my breath and try and come back and that can be my spring workout two lengths and then I'm going to go eat and relax. Sweet so had a massage had a workout had a swim had a spa had a shower and yeah I'm pretty refreshed now I still got another five hours I think until my flight leaves so I'm gonna go get some Middle Eastern food which I love and just chill for a little bit before I get into work so let's go let's go to the lounge chip is up which is that one there's so much good food yeah it's insane maybe I should have swam a few more lengths. So I'm home well I'm not quite home but back in New Zealand just landed after the 17 hour flight from Doha it's pretty good actually I got a good eight hour sleep I think looking forward to checking my o-ring data because it felt pretty good but airplanes sleep so it's the best. The sun's just coming up here it's like five thirty in the morning here in Auckland so I now have a four and a half five hour wait and then another hour long flight home it's been a big trip big trip but I think I'm going to sit out here and wait for the sun to come up and get some some mornings on how we sit that circadian rhythm do some barefoot grounding use the human charger and uh try to get my body clock back and sing oh and good news I got my reindeer skin and no issues at all so maybe I should have got some of the reindeer meat as well I'm in the beer factor anyway we didn't know all right so the sun's been up it's been about half an hour or 20 minutes at least giving that sun in my eyes I also was uh throwing a bit of grounding at the shoes off sitting there in the grass and it was quite nice and then this lady came over and started smoking right next to me so that kind of ruined it so I had to ship out and since I haven't seen much sun in the past week or two might as well try and maximize it huh 40 hours of traveling four flights too many time zones I'm back in Taranaki New Zealand yay I'm pretty exhausted there uh just waiting for Rebecca now picking up and then I'll go home but it was a really good trip really really good trip made a lot of awesome people Finland's amazing place but yeah remember the leaf feedback and comments uh and so I can know I know what people enjoy and what you don't enjoy and then also make sure you check out my youtube blog youtube channel uh Alex Vegas coach or Alex Vegas dot com I think it is um because I share this is just a summary video that you guys have seen each week I actually do a lot more in-depth detailed videos that I post exclusively on the youtube channel I kind of like more raw unedited videos so um you know I know there was a lot of material probably a couple hours worth of videos on this trip um but only what 10 minutes is going to make it into the weekly vlog so leave your comments and feedback below hey so I'm back home now settled in caught up on some sleep and um just thought I'd do a really quick garden update because a lot's happened since I'm in a way Rebecca's been watering the garden so that's that's good uh what do we got here we got a lot of weeds but um tomatoes are coming up really nice uh potatoes in here skyrocketing that's that's awesome some of the brassicas are coming up but they're getting attacked here by uh caterpillars so I gotta yeah look at all those bloody bloody things so I'm going to have to come out and clear off some of these later potatoes over here yeah huge as well I mean I didn't really need some more soil to to get a bit more uh potatoes growing in there so Rebecca had her first first few zucchini as well as the way I was a bit disappointed I couldn't uh get to myself but we had some more last night there's already two or three other ones on there so getting to that point now where the zucchinis just die uh coming out in abundance pumpkins done to grow corn coming out another tomato plant there I need to stake that our basil over here has come along really well some capsicum growing there this is the the lager which was my experiment so that's behind a bit and then tomatoes again need to stake this got some basil under there there's like two or three tomato plants there I probably put too many in and then some more tomatoes here so um lots of growth lots of growth so it's good uh finally good to get some zucchini so I don't have to buy them anymore and once those tomatoes start coming out I'm gonna have to start making relishes and ketchups I think because we're gonna have a lot of tomatoes and potatoes yeah that was my quick little garden update
