Casting Off
Lisa's European rail journey has ended. Yesterday's journey from Oslo to Bergen was the final use of her two-month Eurail pass. She let me know that she was able to see a bit of Bergen, as she rode the Fløibanen funicular this morning before checking out of her hotel and boarding the Fjord Lines ferry (I think the MS Stavengerfjord) to Hirtshals, Denmark. This is an 18-hour voyage, and I hope she's able to make good use of the cabin I've booked for her, as she tells me that she is very tired from all of the travel she has been doing. At Hirtshals, she and her traveling companion Chris will have some hours there before boarding a ferry to Iceland.
As I understand it, communication from on board may be spotty or nonexistent, so I may not know anything else until they get to Reykjavik in a few days, after the ferry trips and a short flight from Egilsstaðir to Reykjavik.
Getting to Bergen and the ferry port was a little touch and go as you may have noticed, but they did get there. Now the pace of travel should slow down, and I hope she is able to relax for a few days.
