we're in warsaw! and we have just spent about 2 hours booking and unbooking things when we realised that infact countries are quite far apart. Really, i think our lives would be much simpler if places would just move a little bit nearer to each other when we wanted to use the train. However, we have now managed to finalise (i use the term loosely) a hostel in prague, a campsite in vienna and a hostel in salzburg so at least the sound of music excursion is safe! so rant over and back to today... it was sunny today! we found [View Full Entry]

Well its the night weve been dreading. The airport buses stop running at midnight and our flight doesnt leave till five-ish. So its midnight and were here, waiting. Airports are not fun places at this time of night, if ever. Were flying to Warsaw, which were looking forward to. Theres a two day itinery we plan to follow which we found. Supposedly the hostel we are going to has free tea which excites us since the tea here has been poor at best. Today we spent the day in Helsinki, wandering and trying to avoid the icey wind. Its been quite [View Full Entry]

We dont have long so this will be very brief! We are in Helsinki, Finland. We arrived here today by BOAT! We crossed here overnight from Stockholm which was awesome and very exciting! There were pretty cocktails and beds that came out of the walls. We had our own little cabin which was great fun. We also found koppaberg in duty free for silly cheap prices and brought enough to last us till Poland. There were new flavours, peach, sweet apple, and others which were really nice. The hostel we are stopping in has a sauna, yet does not offer breakfast [View Full Entry]

We always intended to bypass Sweden, now we know why. It is wet, we got lost, and very wet. Thankfully a lovely lady directed us to the hostel, which had been hard to find thanks to bad directions, and a motorway being everywhere we wanted to be. We have erected the tent, indoors, in an attempt to dry it after a few wet nights whilst camping. The hostel is an old military building, we have a four bedded room to ourselves, very nice. We can see Ikea from our window, proof we are in Sweden. Tomorrow were moving onto Stockholm to [View Full Entry]

Back in Oslo for the night after having camped in a field of clouds opposite a snow covered mountain. It was cold but pretty! Walked into town which we were informed was mere 5km stroll...hmmm maybe not. it was miiiiiiiiiiles! at least 8km i rekon. We caught the bus back which was our first successful bus journey (don't ask...). The showers cost a lot of money so we couldnt indulge whilst on the site so have since had the best shower EVER since getting back. The sun never set in Rjukan either so it was rather difficult to sleep in a [View Full Entry]

Well we made it without any major issues, except for trying to take tent pegs through security. Yeah, in hindsight it was a silly idea which seemed smart at the time. Yeah don't ask. We arrives in lovely Oslo. Its full of fir trees and water and is lovely. Were staying in a place called Stabekk about twenty minutes from Oslo. The staff and locals have been amazing to us ignorant english. It seems to be constantly daytime, its 11pm here and still like daytime. See why its called the land of midnight sun. Tomorrow were moving to a campsite in [View Full Entry]

Obviously I've got slightly more of an issue than Sarah B. I am currently in Aberystwyth, still living in halls! So, not only have I gotta pack for the summer, I've also got to pack to move out of my house! And, as most of you will know, when it comes to packing I am the worlds best procrascinator. Well today was full of much excitement of running around and buying the last few bits and pieces for the trip. As long as I don't forget my passport it will all be fine! Well our holiday starts on Sunday when we [View Full Entry]

So, we leave on Sunday for our huge adventure on which we hope not to get lost and to gain a lot of cultural insight. Or something like that anyway! So far, we have practised camping in Borth, both broken our bungee cords and made a lot of lists of things which we really NEED to do while we're there (which we will no doubt forget to take with us). We have a kettle so we can make tea so Sarah S will manage to survive for a day or two at least. Ummm I think that's all the important stuff [View Full Entry]
