Ok ok I know that none of this is in order. I try to write some little tid bits while I'm on the train or if I get an idea here or there.
They are still coming, our mini adventures from along the way. But I have to get this out NOW!
We have changed our trip around deciding that we will not go to Stockholm or Helsinki and would get out to meet with Scott and Dee sooner. We didn't really take into account that it would take 12 or more hours to get from one place in Scandinavia to the other. So we headed off to Copenhagen to try and catch a train to Amsterdam, no dice on the train. Overnight is full and the other option was to go on a train from 2am with 7 stoppes on the way. FOR SUX! So we headed over to the airport again with not much success. From one airline to the other we passed a Budget car rental. We thought it would be worth it to find out how much it would cost to drive.
Turns out it was less then the plane and we could leave right away.
$800 later we were on our way. Driving 150km/h down the Autobahn with cars passing us like crazy......Videos to follow.
We arrived in Amsterdam at 3am, found a place to park the car and laid down to sleep.
The rest of the day was kind of a shit show but finally Scott and Dee arrived and since then things have been great.
It still seems like its not really happening, all of our planning and talking and scheming and now its here..........let our party begin!
Enjoyed reading your entry - guess this is what "adventure" is all about; the unexpected, changing plans & making it work! Four heads planning & mapping is easier than two!
