The 2 weeks of holidays transformed to a europe trip
We all know what happened on Iceland, and well it have affected us all – at least in Europe. My brother is stuck in Budapest adn have no clue when he can come back home (but hopefully he enjoyes the turkish baths and candy at the moment). Me and my man on the other hand i stuck in Sweden. We planned to go to Malta from Copenhagen today, but are at the moment without flight or any hope of flying to the land of the sun. But we have not lost our control or emotions….yet! We have know booked a ticket from Copenhagen to Rome, this trip will last for 26 hours and it is not the cheapest thing ever. but anyhow, we are trilled with the magnitude of exploration of Europe and what this trip can offer us as people!
It was not long ago it was a “must” for us scandinavians to take a Europetrip by train, and i feel that that tradition of teenages from Sweden have been lost. But this is what the people born in the 1940´s are talking about – their train hoping experience. And i am more than delight to experience this phenomena before it is gone! So on thuesday we will leave from Malmö down to Copenhagen down to Munich and further down to Bologna and then Rome. We will thereafter continue our trip down to Messina on sicily and hopefully in the end reach Malta. One might think that i was upset that this trip was cancelled but i am not angry at all. I am just actually happy that everything is not happening as it is planned. Even though i would love to be in Malta at the momnet it is just so that i am so glad things are still happening out side of the box. The sociey is pre-planned too much and i cannot really fit in to that society, becasue i love spontaneity and if i would ever go on this kind of train hopping tour, this time might as well be it!
I really hope that the people at Iceland are aright, and unfortunatley we do not get enough of information what is happening on the island on the news. The only thing they are focusing on is the problem wih the flights!! I have my thoughts of the people of Iceland and wish them all the best in this situation! Hopefully this event will make us people start re-think of what is the most important thing in the world – fast transportation or security?
I am pretty sure all of us will choose security, no?
