Our campsite was conveniently located close to bus and rail connections linking directly to the city centre. They also offered a free minibus to the station, from 08.30 to 11.00, although it was only a short 12 minute walk.
We were able to purchase our train tickets from reception and went for the 24 hour fully inclusive ticket, giving us unlimited travel on all forms of public transport. At a cost of 110 CZK each, about £3.75, we thought this was a bargain. We were also provided with a comprehensive leaflet detailing different public transport links from Camping Sokol Praha to the centre of Prague and back.

Friday night has to go down as one of the most blustery nights that we have endured so far in the caravan here in Ballum. Added to that was the torrential rain which sounded like someone spraying the top and sides of the van with a hosepipe! We were suffering the effects of one of the current storms sweeping off the North Sea from the Atlantic.
Luckily by mid afternoon there was a break in the weather and to stop us going stir crazy we ventured out in the car to explore the local area.
Today we were looking forward to experiencing Denmark’s public transportation system from our local station in Holbæk directly into the city centre of Copenhagen.
As we knew the Oslo Marathon would be happening on Saturday our best option for visiting the city would be today. Whenever we visit a city, we nearly always elect to use the public transport systems available and as luck would have it again, immediately outside the campsite was the bus, number 32, which would take us to the metro connection at Røa in 6 minutes and into the city centre. Perfect!
We purchased the Oslo City Pass for 24 hours at a cost of NOK 395 each, which gave us free entry to most of the museums, free travel on all public transport and discounts on some other attractions, if we wanted. Downloading the pass made life so much simpler and we felt it would be worth the money, as our intention today was to have one of our long overdue ‘cultural’ days. Continue reading Oslo City Pass→
Just off the main Sam Eydes Gate Road in Rjukan is an outdoor folklore museum, Tinn Museum, which is easy to spot as several of the delightful antiquarian buildings can be seen from the road.
Just as in Galicia, many of the buildings bore some similarities with the typical granaries, known as hórreos, built in wood or stone in Spain. Continue reading Tinn Museum→
