Oh how time flies
We have now been on the road for over a week, although it feels more like several weeks. I guess time flies when you are having fun... The idea was to post every couple of days to keep everyone updated, but we've been too busy doing stuff (which I guess is a good thing) and internet cafes in Norway (which was the first stop on our adventure) are hideously expensive.So what have we been up to? well...
We've been on two ferries, one from Newcastle to Bergen Norway and one from Stockholm Sweden to Turku Finland. The ferries being an adventure all to themselves, filled with colorful characters and accompanied by equally colorful drinks.
We've seen some stunning scenery in the shape of several fjords, reached by dangerously curvy roads, and even a glacier.
There have also been some nice cities along the way, the first being Bergen a small yet perfectly formed clean and mountainous place. We then went to Oslo, where it rained and so most of our time was spent in museums, learning some interesting facts about vikingships and Kon-Tiki. Stockholm was our next stop where we enjoyed being real tourists on a hop-on-hop-off bus.
We are now in Turku, the first place where neither of us can speak nor understand any of the language. Very strange to have to ask people to translate signs and menus, but interesting nonetheless.
As we head East internet and all other things will get cheaper, leaving us with more food and accommodation choices and also more opportunities to keep you updated.
