Hi guys,
Ok so we,ve been a bit slow on putting this first blog up, so i'l just briefly write about some of the stuff we have been up to.
Arrive in to Bergen, Norway quite late on the friday nite. Checked in at around 1am, so we had a quick beer and went straight to bed. As we didnt have long in Bergen we were up quite early the next day to make the most of it. Bergens a small places but quite charming. We caught the train from Bergen to Oslo in the early afternoon. Althought we did have to change from bus to trains a few times, the stunning view going out of Bergen were amazing. We had a route out of the fjords with spectactular lakes and waterfalls all around.
Oslo was bigger than Bergen and we had a few nights there. It was a nice city to walk around a see the sights, mainly the Palaces, but especially the opera hall. We found Norway to be VERY expensive!
Gothenburg was our next stop en-route. We spent a lot of time walking around, seeing the sites, although gothenburg didnt seem to be to much of a tourist city.
We then headed to stockholm which is a much larger city. Again a beautiful city with a lot of museums!!! We Saw the Vasa museum, which is a famour swedish war ship that sank in the harbour, also the architecture museum and arts museum. We also tried some of the local cusine, in the form of meatballs and elk (or moose)!
We caught the boat to Helsinki, which erm well yer was an experience!!! but i think iits fair to say its better if you get more than 2 hours sleep before you get to your next destination! (and dont have a hangover too)
So theres a quick round up of Norways and Sweden. We're in Finland at the moment, just spent the last 2 days looking around Helsinki. Heading off to Turku tomorrow morning which is the old capital, then off to another finnish Town, before finally crossing into Russia!!! Thats when we all think the sightseeing will stop being a bit touristy and a bit more like travelling!
Will post again when we can
