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 968 Views
Board-er Patrol, arrest that woman! AgentOrange - 18/04/2010 10:34:49 AM 616 Views
There are worse places to be stuck than Rome Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:40:29 AM 486 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 541 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 486 Views
You are really not being very sensible here. jh - 18/04/2010 10:48:34 AM 516 Views
Oh, I am being sensible. The wish to get home is really just a sham. Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:53:46 AM 544 Views
Can you even get Eurostar tickets anymore? Legolas - 18/04/2010 12:53:52 PM 485 Views
Yes. There are tickets on all trains on Tuesday. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:49 PM 482 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 485 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 214 Views
I had never heard of such a thing. What a fun idea!! Tashmere - 18/04/2010 03:54:15 PM 441 Views
It seems there may be hope for people in Calais after all! (Daily Mash link) Tim - 19/04/2010 09:32:42 AM 512 Views
Excellent! *NM* Camilla - 20/04/2010 07:11:13 AM 189 Views

If you can get to Amsterdam, there are ferries to Newcastle. Spriteling - 18/04/2010 11:37:41 AM 610 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 193 Views
That is beginning to sound tempting. *NM* Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:04 PM 210 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 207 Views
Nothing is difinitive yet, but it looks like that is our best option. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:19:00 PM 438 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 483 Views
Here is the website for the ferry: Spriteling - 18/04/2010 04:27:30 PM 724 Views
There is no room, sadly. It would have been a good idea. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:35:41 PM 472 Views
There appear to be luxury cabins for £242. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 07:05:41 PM 199 Views

Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Tim - 18/04/2010 04:38:54 PM 1556 Views
Re: Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:41:44 PM 470 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 2111 Views
oooh Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:52:15 PM 452 Views

There's a volcano named Katla? That's awesome. Legolas - 18/04/2010 08:24:59 PM 499 Views
Well, typically, the name would refer to the dragon. jh - 18/04/2010 08:30:03 PM 414 Views
It's under a huge glacier. We really don't want it to erupt. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 10:05:52 PM 201 Views
