Europe » Russia July 13th 2008

Hey all, sorry it has been a few days for a blog, but being Russia makes it hard as they don't have many internet opportunties and the language barrier is a killer! Well, Russia did end up getting better although I don't think I'll be making my way back here in the future. Went and saw the Swan Lake Ballet the other night which was really good and also the Moscow Circus which was awesome too, although they didn't have the trapeze act which was a little dissappointing. St Petersburg was good, lots to see there as with Moscow, the Red Square was probably the highlight of sights in Russia. We thought it would be a good idea the other night to have a party on the bus (All the drivers idea) we had so much ... read more

Europe » Russia » Northwest » Saint Petersburg July 8th 2008

Hi all, well, I'm now in St Petersburg. I can't remember what my last blog was about, I think it was in Finland though, right??? This will be a bit of a rushed blog as I only have 20 minutes. Helsinki was really nice, bought lots of things there, didn't really do much though. We headed to Estonia the next day, which was quite nice, the Old Town was awesome. That night we said hello to our new tour group they all seem to be really nice. We then had a night out on the town dancing all night. It was very fun. The next morning we farwelled the people who were leaving us, a couple of people were very emotional, it was quite sad. Now I'm here in St Petersburg, Russia. My first thought was ... read more

Europe » Finland » Central Finland » Jyväskylä July 2nd 2008

Hi all, it's your favourate traveler again. Well, 3 days ago we made it to our camp site in Older fjord where stayed for 2 nights and also went up to see the midnight sun. That was definatly worth to 900NOK (around AUD180) we had the best night, even our guide was blown away with how clear it was. I will post some photo's for you. I think I even got a bit sun burnt at midnight, there isn't many people that can say that! lol. The next day (I would use days, but I have no idea what day I'm up to, lol) we had a free day to do what we wanted, the only thing was that we were staying where there was a campsite, cafe and a petrol station, so it was a ... read more

Europe » Norway » Northern Norway » Tysfjord June 28th 2008

Hey everyone, well, I'm now in Tysfjord past the Arctic circle. In the last couple of days though, it has mainly been scenic driving, which I have lots of photo's but unfortunatly I can't upload them on this computer, will I'll try next time. I'm really excited though, with our Viking Olympics, we are winning at the moment, so far we have won every activity. 2 nights ago we had to play soccer, it was so much fun, our driver did a nudie run which was quite funny, I couldn't get a photo of it though because I was playing, so I'm hoping somone got one. Yesterday, we went to Tondhiem, the largest religious city in Norway. Then went to Hell, where everyone on the tour sent postcards, I have sent one to work, so keep ... read more

Wow, look at me, 3 days in a row I have updated my blog, I'm so good! lol. Well, today we went over Trolls Passage, wow that was beautiful, snow was everywhere, made it look really nice. We visited Geigranger Fjiord and caught a ferry for an hour to another fjiord, but I can't remember the name of that. Took lots of photos so check them out, not much else happened today, I might leave it for a few days so I have more to write next time. Off to Trondhiem (most religious city in Norway) then going straight to HELL! lol, don't worry, its an actual place here. Ok, bye for now.... read more

Europe » Norway June 24th 2008

Hey there, well, turns out that I was able to use the internet at this place, cool. After I left my blog yesterday, I did some more exploring, I went to find the Oslo Cathedral, but it was under construction and all hidden, I asked a shop keeper about it and they said it had been like that for 2 years, so god only knows what they are doing to it. I had dinner with a couple new people that joined our tour in Oslo, I had Reindeer, it was quite nice. Today we headed to Andalsnes, we had a a stop in Lillihammer where we did a bobsled ride and started of our Viking Olympics. That was awesome, I wish I could've done it a second time. We then keept heading towards our next campsite, ... read more

Europe » Norway June 23rd 2008

Hey, Me again. What have I been up to since the last entry??? Well, we had our 2nd free day in Stockholm. Didin't really get up to much, just a bit lost for a little while, did some more shopping then got rained on. Lucky I had my umbrella! We headed back to the campsite and got changed and headed out for a night on the town. Well, our night on the town wasn't so big, all we ended up doing was going for dinner and watching the soccer which is on every single night in these countries. I'm so over it! Yesterday, we left Stockholm for Oslo. We got here last night in the rain, not a great start to a new country! We took a trip up to the ski jump where the winter ... read more

Europe » Sweden » Stockholm County » Stockholm June 20th 2008

Hello again. Well last time I posted something on here, I was in Berlin, well, now i'm in Stockholm. But what have I been up to? The answer is lots! First up, we had the Pub Crawl! Well, lets just say I never want to hear the words Pub Crawl ever again! I got so trashed, I had be literally carried out of the third pub we went to. On the up side, everybody knew who I was and didn't have to introduce myself to anyone lol, on the down side though, I woke up with a horrid hangover and threw up a couple of times. I was all good after an hour or so, so thats was ok! The next day we headed to Copenhagen. We caught a 2 and a half hour ferry ride ... read more

Europe » Germany June 16th 2008

Hi again, how are we all? Well, its my 1st day on tour, and I have to say, its been good. Berlin is an amazing place, a bit eerie after what has happened here all those years ago, but none the less, an awesome place. Yesterday, Jazz (my room mate) went for walk, I think we did about 6km around the city. We did a cruise along the Spree River here in Berlin and did some shopping, it was a day. Last night I met up with the tour leader (leader, driver and on road chef are all Aussie's, then again probably 90%of the people on my trip are all Aussie's!) and everyone on the tour. The people I have met seem nice enough. We then went to dinner at a nearby restaurant which was nice. ... read more

Europe » Germany » Berlin » Berlin June 14th 2008

Hey Everyone Well, I'm in Berlin at the moment, got in this morning. Had a really good flight from Sydney and got to London at 7am yesterday (Friday 13) morning. Once I had found my hotel I went for a really, really long walk. I walked from my hotel all around Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. I saw the memorial fountain for Princess Diana, the Peter Pan statue, I went to the Kings Cross Station and had my photo taken at Platform 9 and 3/4 from Harry Potter, and got a picture of the bridge that Harry and Hagrid walk across in the first movie, I was very excited! Today I left London to come to Berlin. I got here at about lunch time and eventually found my way to the hostel, after having to ask ... read more
