We could have a Pre-DebCamp on > the trains (there are powerplugs for laptops in the modern trains) :-) I won't be able to interrail this year (although I'd love to share the fun with that!), but having done that, here's a clue: if you cross from Denmark instead, and precisely at Helsingør(DK)-Helsinborg(SE), the ferry should be free for pedestrians (which includes interrailers). At least it was in 1999. Other tips I recall: - if you spend the night in Trondheim(NO), look for the round red house (http://www.samfundet.no/english.php), which is a cool student society which becomes an Interrail Center in summer (http://www.tirc.no/) It's cool, cheap and has internet connection as well. - If you visit the Lofoten islands in a group, it's a nice option to forget about the youth hostels and sleep in the Rorbua (spelling?), which is the fishermen huts (kind of like this: http://www.vega-ferie.no/utleie.htm). This also allows to stay a while in the southernmost part of the islands, which was extremely beautiful - In 1999, if you traveled in a gruop and contacted with at least a week of advance the tourist office in Gällivare (www.gellivare.se), they could arrange you to spend a week in the mountains with the Sami. Asking other travelers in the northern trains and stations also brings you a lot of useful tips. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
