After being in Bergen we took another long haul travel in train to stockholm, it's amazing how you feel the difference between different countries even that they share some culture, arriving to Stockholm station I now felt like in a big city, in Norway you feel a lot more like in a country side, more calm and easy, in stockholm to can feel the city style, more diversity, people in the street at night having fun, less courious with foreigners like us, a little more reserved, and If you're a frequent reader our first activity was looking for our hostel.

So we went to Oslo's train station to the very comfortable Norweigan trains, guys if you have to make a sightseeing train travel this is a must you will never forget (specially if you don't have a lot of snow where you live) from a gorgeous invernal landscape, trees totally covered by snow, almost frozen rivers, mountains covered by snow, the first hour to the most scary winter dessert with no more to see than large extensions of flat snow (not saying it don't worth it) , the one thing that amaze me as a foreigner was people going down the [View Full Entry]

As we arrived to Waterloo train station we found a very curious detail, it seems to be a all inclusive package ( this may be curious to non eureopean lectors)to EuroDisney a bunch of kids running with their Mickey mouse hats, with a 20's Music Band just waiting to get on board to EuroDisney (nice example of marketing localisation). So again we take our ride trough the chunnel all the way to Paris the first thing and after many countries we buy our Metro(Tube , Subway) 3 day pass and we head easilly to our hotel, at least to the surrounding [View Full Entry]

At this time we were almost locals on train rides, is fair to say that the belgian train was one of the best ones we ride on, and or destination brugge. One of the things you will notice as a rookie traveller is the is very easy to lost in translation, we were very sure of the city where we were heading but with one detail in our mind we have the name of the city in spanish (Brujas) and almost miss the station is common to have the name of the cities in you native language and fogot the the [View Full Entry]

We arrived to brussels nice cosmopolitan city where the base of the EU is modern, nice transport but still don't know the touristic spots, nice cathedral, modern business zone, some very nice gardens. I'm positive that I must be unfair with this city we were very tired and not so willing to made more research on what we can see on it. But why do we that stop, to take the brand new Eurotunnel and go to the UK (almost broken). [View Full Entry]

So we went to one of the Brussels train station to take our journey to the UK, we get some discount to take the "Chunnel" a very short ride to London and once again change our US Dollars and Belgian Francs to Pounds (QUID same as US Dollars= Bucks) the first shock, what an expensive country, crappy exchange rate but ok the visit worth it. The first thing we get was our Tube (Tube=subway) pass, eventough in Mexico City we have a very big Tube system, the complexity of the London tube can be confuse even to an experienced tube traveller, [View Full Entry]

We make reservations for a couchetta (bed on the train, after figuring out 10 minutes on the ticket office), just remember we were on a low budget travel so we reserve for the cheapest ones meaning 6 people sleeping on a 3x2 meter cabin what a shocking experience, fortunately by logic we took the superior beds, just to put another element on the story it was summer and a very hot summer, so six people on that cabin felt like hell, the first thing was move you're backpack to your bed, at least on the top were more room, on the [View Full Entry]
