Apparently they're diverting the Orkney ferry to Bergen. Tim Send a noteboard - 20/04/2010 05:38:25 PM
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.

So, I am Volcano-stuck in Rome, but I want to be in Edinburgh Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:01:40 AM 999 Views
Board-er Patrol, arrest that woman! AgentOrange - 18/04/2010 10:34:49 AM 653 Views
There are worse places to be stuck than Rome Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:40:29 AM 523 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 566 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 515 Views
You are really not being very sensible here. jh - 18/04/2010 10:48:34 AM 545 Views
Oh, I am being sensible. The wish to get home is really just a sham. Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:53:46 AM 570 Views
Can you even get Eurostar tickets anymore? Legolas - 18/04/2010 12:53:52 PM 517 Views
Yes. There are tickets on all trains on Tuesday. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:49 PM 511 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 516 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 226 Views
I had never heard of such a thing. What a fun idea!! Tashmere - 18/04/2010 03:54:15 PM 475 Views
It seems there may be hope for people in Calais after all! (Daily Mash link) Tim - 19/04/2010 09:32:42 AM 551 Views
Excellent! *NM* Camilla - 20/04/2010 07:11:13 AM 206 Views

If you can get to Amsterdam, there are ferries to Newcastle. Spriteling - 18/04/2010 11:37:41 AM 646 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 204 Views
That is beginning to sound tempting. *NM* Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:04 PM 226 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 218 Views
Nothing is difinitive yet, but it looks like that is our best option. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:19:00 PM 471 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 508 Views
Here is the website for the ferry: Spriteling - 18/04/2010 04:27:30 PM 771 Views
There is no room, sadly. It would have been a good idea. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:35:41 PM 508 Views
There appear to be luxury cabins for £242. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 07:05:41 PM 212 Views

Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Tim - 18/04/2010 04:38:54 PM 1593 Views
Re: Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:41:44 PM 507 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 2129 Views
oooh Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:52:15 PM 481 Views

There's a volcano named Katla? That's awesome. Legolas - 18/04/2010 08:24:59 PM 528 Views
Well, typically, the name would refer to the dragon. jh - 18/04/2010 08:30:03 PM 445 Views
It's under a huge glacier. We really don't want it to erupt. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 10:05:52 PM 213 Views
