There was something about them making alternative travel arrangements for you. I'm not sure how much cover you'll have for something like this, but you should find out asap so that you know what trains/ferries you can afford to book, and also whether you can get them to do the work for you.


All travel insurance places are in a bit of a chaos, and none of them have to cover much of anything as this is a natural disaster aka act of god. But I'll have Tor look closer into this tomorrow as well. I found out that there is another Norwegian guy in our party going to London. He was thrilled when I told him you had told me the HSBC plus came with travel insurance, as he thought he was uninsured too, but he has that account. So lots of happy Norwegian people for now.

There are worse places to be stuck than Rome Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:40:29 AM 591 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 630 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 583 Views
You are really not being very sensible here. jh - 18/04/2010 10:48:34 AM 615 Views
Oh, I am being sensible. The wish to get home is really just a sham. Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:53:46 AM 638 Views
Can you even get Eurostar tickets anymore? Legolas - 18/04/2010 12:53:52 PM 592 Views
Yes. There are tickets on all trains on Tuesday. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:49 PM 579 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 591 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 255 Views
I had never heard of such a thing. What a fun idea!! Tashmere - 18/04/2010 03:54:15 PM 553 Views
It seems there may be hope for people in Calais after all! (Daily Mash link) Tim - 19/04/2010 09:32:42 AM 631 Views

If you can get to Amsterdam, there are ferries to Newcastle. Spriteling - 18/04/2010 11:37:41 AM 713 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 233 Views
That is beginning to sound tempting. *NM* Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:04 PM 256 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 247 Views
Nothing is difinitive yet, but it looks like that is our best option. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:19:00 PM 533 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 580 Views
Here is the website for the ferry: Spriteling - 18/04/2010 04:27:30 PM 923 Views
There is no room, sadly. It would have been a good idea. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:35:41 PM 574 Views
There appear to be luxury cabins for £242. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 07:05:41 PM 244 Views

Re: Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:41:44 PM 576 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 2228 Views

There's a volcano named Katla? That's awesome. Legolas - 18/04/2010 08:24:59 PM 601 Views
Well, typically, the name would refer to the dragon. jh - 18/04/2010 08:30:03 PM 511 Views
It's under a huge glacier. We really don't want it to erupt. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 10:05:52 PM 246 Views
