If you do get a coach, maybe you should just stay on it all the way to Norway? Although I don't know how you could ensure you get on that boat...

Even if you can't get on a boat in Bergen, at least you'll be in your home country where you have a better chance of free accommodation. And since Norway is unencumbered by ash and Scotland is occasionally so (compared to the rest of Europe where it just isn't going away), you might have a better chance of getting a plane from Norway to Scotland before too long. Maybe.


Ah, yes. The Bus. It was cancelled an hour before it was supposed to leave. We are bitter and intend to drown our sorrows in wine. The good news is I bonded with an older British man over the nuttiness of the situation and the horror of Italian trains. Wine it is.

There are worse places to be stuck than Rome Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:40:29 AM 634 Views
Tim said you were stuck in Rome. I wasn't sure if you were there or Norway. Alas. Rebekah - 18/04/2010 10:39:55 AM 668 Views

Nope. Not in Europe anyway. I suspect Lesotho might be too far to go to get it. Rebekah - 18/04/2010 10:43:31 AM 627 Views
You are really not being very sensible here. jh - 18/04/2010 10:48:34 AM 646 Views
Oh, I am being sensible. The wish to get home is really just a sham. Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:53:46 AM 679 Views
Can you even get Eurostar tickets anymore? Legolas - 18/04/2010 12:53:52 PM 629 Views
Yes. There are tickets on all trains on Tuesday. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:49 PM 616 Views

Not so fast. The dirty French have told him he's not allowed to rescue people. Tim - 18/04/2010 03:43:52 PM 628 Views

SNCF says about 1/3 of train drivers are striking, but there are extra international services. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 04:24:57 PM 271 Views
I had never heard of such a thing. What a fun idea!! Tashmere - 18/04/2010 03:54:15 PM 589 Views
It seems there may be hope for people in Calais after all! (Daily Mash link) Tim - 19/04/2010 09:32:42 AM 675 Views

If you can get to Amsterdam, there are ferries to Newcastle. Spriteling - 18/04/2010 11:37:41 AM 745 Views
And if you get to Newcastle, I'll pick you up if I can get the car from my sister in St Andrews. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 11:40:08 AM 249 Views
That is beginning to sound tempting. *NM* Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:04 PM 274 Views
Just saw your blog update about the bus to Germany. Are you definitely doing that? *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 04:16:23 PM 263 Views
Nothing is difinitive yet, but it looks like that is our best option. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:19:00 PM 567 Views
Oooh. I didn't know that. That sounds like it might be more sensible than Eurostar. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:10:33 PM 614 Views
Here is the website for the ferry: Spriteling - 18/04/2010 04:27:30 PM 1006 Views
There is no room, sadly. It would have been a good idea. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:35:41 PM 612 Views
There appear to be luxury cabins for £242. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 07:05:41 PM 259 Views

Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Tim - 18/04/2010 04:38:54 PM 1728 Views
Re: Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:41:44 PM 610 Views
It's nothing to do with the card you pay with. Travel insurance is a freebie with the Advance A/c. Tim - 18/04/2010 04:50:08 PM 2275 Views
oooh Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:52:15 PM 594 Views

There's a volcano named Katla? That's awesome. Legolas - 18/04/2010 08:24:59 PM 636 Views
Well, typically, the name would refer to the dragon. jh - 18/04/2010 08:30:03 PM 553 Views
It's under a huge glacier. We really don't want it to erupt. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 10:05:52 PM 263 Views
