I did better. I made my brother send me an Interrail card in Rovaniemi (Finland), where I stayed two nights coming back from Northern Norway (near Hammerfest). The card should last for one month, so I went to Sweden, Oslo, Bergen (Norway), took a boat to Newcastle (England), then the train again to Wales, then the boat to Ireland, the train to Dublin, then to Cork, then I hired a cycle for 5 days in Western Ireland, then I took the train back to Dublin, then the boa ===== Philippe Caquant "High thoughts must have high language."
