Ryanair To Oslo, Scotland and Riga

Random journey means no responses to e-mails and discussions for the next week.

I’d just thought I’d drop a quick note to let readers know that I’ll be unable to reply to discussions and e-mail queries for the next week as I shall be away in either Norway, Scotland or Latvia.

It’s a fairly random journey, admittedly, but there is some kind of fuzzy logic to it. Honest. I have to go to Glasgow for an event anyway, and I looked at the train times and prices, then figured I may as well do it the long way. For not much more than the train would have cost from London to Glasgow, Ryanair can fly me to Oslo in Norway and then Glasgow. Well, I say Oslo, because as usual, Torp airport is a ridiculous distance from where Ryanair bills the flight to be – about 110km from Oslo.

On the way back, I thought I may as well take in another place I’ve always wanted to go to – Riga in Latvia. Hooray for cheap flights!

This means I’ll be racking up a new personal record of eight countries within the space of just over three weeks, as well, given the interrailing trip I’ve just returned from. Some quality time doing absolutely nothing at home will no doubt beckon once I’m back, shattered and with a wallet full of random foreign coins.

I wonder what you can buy if you put Norwegian, Croatian, Hungarian and Latvian currency together with pounds and euros?
