Hey I forgot to tell everyone whats been going on. Well since my last posting in the very expensive town of Oslo I decided to get the hell out of there. So I jumped on the train and did the whole three countries in one day. Yep I left Oslo and headed down to Gothenburg then jumped another train to Copenhagen.
So now I was in Copenhagen and I have to say it is a nice place but the cost of being there is comparable to being in London. I also have a knack of meeting people on this global road trip and just about every where I have been I manage to meet some one from France. Well denmark didnt let me down I hung out with a super cool French man called Lauernt (kind of sounds French) and then I met another pommy.
Anyway whilst I was in Denmark I found that my cash flow was now a dribble. So back to Sweden I headed to gather my thoughts. The time had come to make the long trip home. So yet another train From Stockholm to Malmo. Then a night train from Malmo to Berlin. That train was pretty freaky it actually went on a ferry accross to Germany. Then I had the option of stay in Berlin for a few days but I thought I may as well get home. So I was off on another Train through Germany. This time from Berlin to Hanover to Frankfurt.
I finally made it all the way to Frankfurt but I forgot to make a call to tell the air line I was going to be on the flight. I wasnt supossed to get on the flight but the Aussie charm kicked in and they let me on.
So then I landed in down town Melbourne and headed down to Franga town.
So after all of that travel who would want to go anywhere else. Well 3 weeks later I was in Perth and I am typing this message in Adelaiade where I have come to visit my crazy nieces.
So in a couple of days I should be back in the air heading back to Melbourne again. But for how long.......
I have had the offer of a trip over to America and someone has offered to pay the airfare so where will the next posting be from?

This Sucks
I have just arrived in Oslo and I am staying at the Anker Hostel just out of town. Have you ever heard of a hostel that doesnt offer a place to safely lock away you valubales. Well the Anker Hostel doesnt offer any kind of safe place to leave a bag of a normal size. Now I have to walk around with my back pack because of these silly people.
So the moral of this story is dont spend large amounts of money where you cant leave your stuff. You can leave it in the luggage room where any person who is staying at the hostel can walk straight in and take your bag. Of course the hostel take no responsibility for what happens to your bag.
DONT STAY AT THIS PLACE.

Land of the Vikings
Well I finally made it on to the humble shores of Sweden. After watching some really average entertainment on the ferry across from Helsinki to Stockholm and meeting some very crazy Black Metal Viking lads I made it out of Finland.
Helsinki is a wonderful place and the Finnish people are such nice people but Stockholm is massive compared to Helsinki. I never had a good chance of seeing all of Helsinki which I am starting to regret but hopefully I can get out a lot more in Stockholm. I am in a hostel right in the heart of the city so the opportunities are there for me to take. So I better get out into the city and start enjoying all that Sweden has to offer.
Speak again very soon.

Last Finnish sunset
Tonight is my last sunset I will see from Finland. Tomorrow 2/4/2007 I will be sailing off towards a Swedish sunset. I will have the iPod ready for the long trip on one of the massive boats that sail from Helsinki to Stockholm. Sadly I dont have any Abba tunes loaded into the iPod but maybe I should buy a best of Abba before I go. Talking of Abba here is a funny little (and I do mean little) tribute to Abba.
So next time I type on here it might have to be in Swedish.
Enjoy the Swedish chef and Abba while I am away.

Sweden is next on the agenda so here is a long clip of what I know about Sweden.
The one and the only Swedish chef.
You have to love him and his way of making a cake.
ENJOY
