The Route By Rail.

We start at Penzance station and catch the night sleeper to London. We will then make our way over to St. Pancras International. Here we will meet Terry and Jenny and board our train to Amsterdam. Here we have a two night stay and then move on to Hamburg for a one night stay.

Our next train will take us to Copenhagen for two nights. From there we will travel to Oslo again for two nights. The last leg of this section will be to Bergen for one night and then we will board our boat.

Orsund Crossing 8km

This will be a total of 1500 miles by train!

People keep asking where and when we will be on our trip! So we have put together a simple version of our itinerary for you to follow. You can find it under the OUR ITINERARY tab on the top menu or click on the following link: help to find us.

I hope this helps you discover where we are for the next eight months.

Getting Closer

Well with only two weeks to go it is getting pretty exciting. On Friday last week we heard from Cunard that we have been upgraded and now have a cabin with a balcony! This will make the trip even more special.

On Saturday our Audley paperwork arrived by special courier. It is all held in two Filofax folders and looks very professional.

So now its the time to start checking we have everything we need before the mass panic (or as Kim says, the orderly departure) next week.

Oxford Trip

Tuesday and Wednesday this week we went to Oxford to celebrate Izzy graduating from University and being 21 (big week!). As you can see from the photo’s we had a great time and we are both so proud of her. In fact,  we are proud of the whole family for everything they have achieved; especially mum!
