Suzie is leading the field...so what about Sweden

-
With the pressure well and truly on.  It was time to hit Lonely Planet and the web and get researching.

After MANY hours...Nic has decided that a road trip through Sweden might be the go.

Here's the result of hours and hours...and square and very tired eye.

22.9.18 - Day 23. Odense to Copenhagen

-

Up and at em this morning, to make our way back to the train station to return to Copenhagen. Unfortunately, I buggered up, and convinced the other two, that the train in front of us, wasn't the right one...turned out it was, so we had to wait another hour or so...major oops!! Tracy and Suzie were very kind and didn't yell or scream. We dropped our luggage at our last hotel, and grabbed a cab for the Changing of the guard at the Royal Palace (the home of Mary and Frederik and family). We actually got caught BEHIND the guards, marching to the Castle. Our cabbie was brilliant and got us down a side street in time to see the action. Here we are waiting for the train, not sure if it's the first one or second one!     Into the cab and got a behind the scenes view of Guards marching to the Palace. They were making a getaway and we were worried we'd miss the changing of the guards. But...we made it, I snuck around the crowd, and was lucky to get a fron...

6.9.18 Day 7 - Hurtigruten- Yurke and Ålesund

Sailing overnight on our Hurtigruten ship, the MS Nordkapp.  As I said our room is quite amazing - not tiny at all.  Forgot to take a pic BEFORE we moved in. Tracy on the right, me on the left. Tom, one of the staff who does our room and serves us dinner, made my bed and put it back to our couch.   Whilst sleeping, with a slight rock n roll we actually made very short 15minute stops at Florø and Måløy. The ship is a working ship, it is a ferry with capacity for 24 cars and also for freight. I did hear the ropes going out at Måløy, but otherwise slept soundly.  I got up had my shower and went out on a cold and windy deck to watch us dock at Torvik. We were due at 7.15 but we are running a bit behind schedule, something to do with the conditions sailing overnight.  Sunrise on the Fjiord. Sun rising 7.00 in the morning.  There are people getting on and off at the stops and just under 600 passengers on board. The crew also have loaded/unloaded freight at our sh...

23.9.18 - Day 24. Departing Copenhagen for home via Singapore

The final pack is done. Breaky and goodbyes to Tracy who is leaving later in the day. Then bundle into cab for Airport.  Packed and ready to go. From the airplane.  Entree.  Main. IT was good, can't recall what it was.  Singapore from the air. Changi Airport, the Louis Vuitton entrance was ever changing. Really captured the attention. Jellyfish.  Many Hydrangea, in front of the hydrangea like sculpture.  Nice to have a lounge, shower, food, rest etc.  Then we are up, up and away again. Bound for Melbourne.  Was impressed with the bubbles in my drink. Or just plain bored.  Tasted better than it looked.  Sunrise on the way down the coast of Oz somewhere.  Melbourne, sun not risen yet.  NO idea where this was, I guess we've landed perhaps.  Home sweet home...someone was quite nonchalant about my return....
