After 42 years I was able to reunite with an old childhood friend of mine. Funny how our lives can go thier seperate ways and then intersect. I have to thank my wife for helping me locate an ol faithful friend.We finally meet for lunch and a few drinks. By the end of the night it was apparent we still had those child hood dreams of adventure that we never had a chance to fullfill. So we set the date and made our plans. A few weeks later we started packing and getting our paper work in order.

Right off the bat we knew it was gonna be a good trip as we were unexpectedly upgraded to Business class courtesy of KLM. I think my bud had a few connections. When he showed his passport the ladiebehind the counter paused and then seems a little nervous as she comped the upgrades. Made the flight to Amsterdam really nic!!!. We hit the town that night and woke up with quite a pounding head to say the least. During the flight my ol bud chatted with an odd fellow. He was an old fat guy on his way to Russia. Talk about a strange get up he was wearing . We will get back to him later on in the story.Bacon Bacon Bacon!!!

At the beginning of the next day we had some pancakes and headed early north toward the Artic. Once again I was pleased to find out that instead of having to stay in an average scandinavian hotel we were greeted with a really nice two bedroom flat on a quite hillside. Now it was time to finally head outback for some real outdoors in the pristine forest 100 kilometers north. Saw quite a few nice sites along the way.Bacon Bacon Bacon!!!

This is where the adventure really kicks into high gear. During a night in a small remote village we of course got drunk again and on our way back to the hotel. Im taking a piss in a old town alley all of sudden a van pulls up and stuffs my bud into it and peels out. Now am really freaking out about what has just happened.Am in a foreign country and have no idea what to do. After having a kabob from a street vendor I make the decision to back track. I catch the last train out of town back to the airport. Then I hop on the plane and end up in a lay over in Denmark. When I am exiting the airport I see these kids dress up in santa suits playing music. Thats when it hits me. The Weird fat dude on the plane!!!

So as I head back trough Amsterdam I cant stop thinking about that Fat guy in a popes gown. Then it hits me my bud Joe was taking about an old legendary vikinng town and ships. I pull out my iphone and goggle old viking trade routes and bingo!!! I haul buns through the red light district and head north with a vengeance. I had remember the old fat guy talking about an abandoned Goulag from the War. Yes the Big one WWII. Oh BTW I had to have a slice of Pizza King on my way through the red light district. They have square pizza weird but tasty!!! Bad news I miss the flight by seconds. As the planes pulling away I see that fat dude again exiting a plane and going through customs. I check the flight number and its from the Artic not Russia. I think to myself I have to finfd the Viking village and the Goulag and FAST!! I find and Latvian Car Rental open and rent a car and head back to the Artic to Try and find my Friend. Bad idea I run out of extension cord less than a undred meters from Schipol Airport.Last edited by corndog; January 14, 2013, 06:19 PM.Bacon Bacon Bacon!!!

I patiently wait for the scallywags to doze off and slip in to free my bud.He seemed so relaxed for being in such peril ! We run for our livesas we hop on an old steam train and bail out down the waterfall.We end up stealing a car. Joe works as GPS while I drive to the get away vessel. On board the vessel Joe gives a debriefing and we share good stories with the capatin.Bacon Bacon Bacon!!!

After many High Fives we blaze down the Fjords in our newly stolen Opel Diesel Wagon with its 1.4lt beast of an engine. We are back at the 2Br flat and celebrate on the deck. I go to the fridge and find this on an orange with a sticker telling me it is 100 % an orange. As I go outside to show Joe, I see this sticker on the sliding door. No one allow that has been spread eagle against a freshly painted black wall !! What does this all mean Who would have put this here. Hmmm! FAT GUY IN POPES CLOLTHES. WE slip off to the Viking trade port and stowaway on a ship to the CONGO!!!
Will Joe and Corndog escape the Artic Goulag. Who is the Fat Pope looking guy.
To Be Continued.Bacon Bacon Bacon!!!
