Morning has broken and time to get the free breakfast and the taxi back to the airport. They have a la cart breakfast and I find some nice pancakes on the menu. Another 15 Euro from KLM. The taxi arrives and takes me for the 20 minutes ride to the airport. Another 25 Euros for…

Waking up after ag good nights sleep. Time to get ready for my activities before I go back to Oslo. Or so I thought until I checked my phone. KLM has cancelled my flight to Amsterdam and Oslo. But this time no call and there is no alternative booking yet. First thing of the day…

Thanks to the cancelled flight I can sleep a little bit longer. Breakfast at the hotel and then bus to the airport. My luggage is stored at the hotel until I come back tomorrow and I only travel with backpack for this one night trip. Since Ireland is not part of the Schengen area, my…

Time to leave for Oslo. Last breakfast with my parents before I have to get to CDG. It started raining. I hav no wish to get my luggage to the Metro and then on the Metro and then changing trains to get to the airport. There is only one option – to take an Uber…
