Home at last. After 34 hours of travel over 5 days, covering 2150km on 7 trains, three buses, two ships and a hydrofoil. It was great fun.

Surface it is: train to Copenhagen tomorrow morning, then to Hamburg for the night. Time to look round in both, then to Amsterdam on Sunday.

Am stranded in Stockholm. Sit it out, or start surface travel? The trip's on expenses if reasonable. Hotel checkout due in 30 min. Vote now!

Ah, Edinburgh weather. In one three-hour frisbee tournament it alternated between warm sunshine and ~5mm hailstones three times.

Tidying up my bedroom. Thrown out 13 laptops so far, and there are still at least five in here.
