Europe 2015 Blog 1 Monday 15 June – Early wake up call at 4.15 for the neighbours to drive us to the airport. Just as we arrived at the airport we received a text message to say our flight to Sydney had been cancelled. Ignoring the message we bowled into the airport to see what our options were. Two seats were available on the 6 am flight to Sydney. Problem fixed and all luggage (2 suitcases and 2 golf bags) checked thru to Copenhagen. Tuesday 16 June - 32 hours later we arrived at Copenhagen (6.30am local time). No big queues at the Custom gates and a 15 min ride in the train to the centre of Copenhagen. 60 minutes later we checked into the Opera Hotel. Set off immediately to explore Copenhagen - used the ... read more

Lähdettiin Islantiin SAS-yhtiön lennoilla. Oslossa oli 2,5 tuntia vaihtoaikaa. Vessasta sai ilmaiseksi juomakelpoista vettä. Olut maksoikin sitten 11 euroa. Olimme perillä klo 23.30 paikallista aikaa, eli Suomen aikaa klo 2.30 yöllä. Heti lentokentällä piti käydä tax freessä, koska sieltä sai ostettua juomia halvemmalla kuin Islannin viinakaupoista. Olin varannut huoneen hostellista, josta tultiin noutamaan meidät lentokentältä.... read more

The night train arrived in Oslo at 6:25am, and after a surprisingly good sleep, Shawn and I headed towards our hostel to drop our big bags off in luggage storage. Unfortunately, and really inconveniently, we can't check in until 3pm! That means another 1st-day-in-Reykjavík-like day with years of walking! Trying first to find some food, because oh ya, it's easter MONDAY now and everything is also closed, we venture into the central part of the city. After grabbing some quick stuff from a 7-11 (sorry Peterboroughians, there's a ton of them over here!) we walk around the city because literally nothing is open! The first thing we came across was the old Akershus Fortress which was really cool to walk around. It's open always to the public and you're able to walk on top of the ... read more

Nú er ég kominn á hótelið í Osló. Ég náði að sofa í rúman hálftíma og líður eins og það sé kominn nýr dagur. Á leiðinni á hótelið hitti ég fólk sem verður þar líka og við stefnum á að fara út og skoða okkur um fljótlega. ... read more

Meg majus elejen tortent, hogy egy hosszu hetvegere ellatogattam Osloba. Korabban gondoltam mar ra, de most ugy gondoltam, miert is ne, foleg, hogy a British Airways merfoldjeimet hasznalva eleg olcso jegyet sikerult szereznem. Az ut odafele rendben ment, leszamitva a leszallas utani reszt, amikor is eloszor azt vettem eszre, hogy all a gep valahol a betonon, de nem a kiszallito folyosoknal. Kb 5 perc mulva a pilotafulkebol jott az informacio, hogy szivarog az egyik futomunel a hidraulikus folyadek, ezert egy ideig meg nem lehet kiszallni, ki kell vizsgalni mi van. Kozben nehany tuzoltoauto meg egyeb jarmu erkezett, aztan ugy fel ora mulva vegul begurulhattunk a terminalhoz kiszallni. Az utlevelvizsgalat eleg gyorsan ment, utana viszont a csomagokra kellett varni vagy 50 percet (lehet, a hidraulikus folyadek szivargasa a rakodoter ajtajanal is problemat okozott). Vegul az utasok nagy ... read more
