Board-er Patrol, arrest that woman! AgentOrange Send a noteboard - 18/04/2010 10:34:49 AM
Yes, it is shocking, I know. When in Rome one should probably embrace one's being-in-Romeness, but much as I hate flying I almost wish the planes would start running. As that does not look like it will happen any time soon, our best bet looks like it will be getting across Europe some other way. Now, long distance trains are full, so it looks like our best bet is to take lots and lots of shorter trains.

So. If any of you know of anywhere where we could stay for free along the way, that would be excellent. Or, you know, if you have a rich grand-uncle with his own train, that would be great, too. Or a zeppeliner.


I got nothing for ya. My cousin is stuck in Israel waiting to go back to Germany. I'm taking her to a consolation concert, so yay... I guess...

There are worse places to be stuck than Rome Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:40:29 AM 708 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 749 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 695 Views
You are really not being very sensible here. jh - 18/04/2010 10:48:34 AM 720 Views
Oh, I am being sensible. The wish to get home is really just a sham. Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:53:46 AM 751 Views
Can you even get Eurostar tickets anymore? Legolas - 18/04/2010 12:53:52 PM 706 Views
Yes. There are tickets on all trains on Tuesday. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:49 PM 688 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 708 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 308 Views
I had never heard of such a thing. What a fun idea!! Tashmere - 18/04/2010 03:54:15 PM 666 Views
It seems there may be hope for people in Calais after all! (Daily Mash link) Tim - 19/04/2010 09:32:42 AM 756 Views
Excellent! *NM* Camilla - 20/04/2010 07:11:13 AM 281 Views
I'm beginning to think I was lucky to get out of London so easily. Wibble - 18/04/2010 11:13:58 AM 681 Views

If you can get to Amsterdam, there are ferries to Newcastle. Spriteling - 18/04/2010 11:37:41 AM 815 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 280 Views
That is beginning to sound tempting. *NM* Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:04 PM 306 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 296 Views
Nothing is difinitive yet, but it looks like that is our best option. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:19:00 PM 643 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 689 Views
Here is the website for the ferry: Spriteling - 18/04/2010 04:27:30 PM 1140 Views
There is no room, sadly. It would have been a good idea. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:35:41 PM 688 Views
There appear to be luxury cabins for £242. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 07:05:41 PM 296 Views

Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Tim - 18/04/2010 04:38:54 PM 1836 Views
Re: Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:41:44 PM 678 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 2409 Views
oooh Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:52:15 PM 667 Views
Just looked at the policy document. Call HSBC asap. Tim - 18/04/2010 07:16:20 PM 661 Views

Unless there are further eruptions. Tim - 18/04/2010 07:02:27 PM 678 Views
Well, from what I heard, there was talk about decreasing pressure. jh - 18/04/2010 08:15:01 PM 634 Views
There's a volcano named Katla? That's awesome. Legolas - 18/04/2010 08:24:59 PM 711 Views
Well, typically, the name would refer to the dragon. jh - 18/04/2010 08:30:03 PM 629 Views
It's under a huge glacier. We really don't want it to erupt. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 10:05:52 PM 297 Views

The mid-Atlantic would be best. Nobody minds ash over Rockall. Tim - 19/04/2010 09:04:21 AM 651 Views
