Update :-)

Hallo from Holland! (Country #5...)
Just thought we'd let you know whats been happening! We left Norway last Sunday and spent four awesome days exploring the extravagant buildings of Stockholm (e.g. the biggest IKEA in the world!). Took a night train to Denmark on Thursday sharing a tiny cabin with 3 smelly people and a big (smelly) dog! Ran around for a day in Copenhagen, didn't get a chance to catch up with Mary because we were preoccupied climbing 400 steps up a 90m church steeple and eating icecream. Then took a night train through Germany (Country #4 - their train stations are nice!!) to Amsterdam, this time sharing with 6 noisy drunken German soccer fanatics who thought it was funny to yell chants and shout out the windows till 3am! (The joys of backpacking!!) :-) We're on our second day in Holland. Had a whirlwind tour of Amsterdams canals yesterday and are now staying with one of Emma's rellies in Arnhem (beautiful place in the east of the country). We randomly arrived here on the rememberance weekend of the Battle of Arnhem of WWII so we've been the Osterbeek Taptoe (a marching band dance-off ) and a Memorial Service. Exploring the rest of Holland this week before catching up with Daniel (Michelle and Charlene's dad) in Austria on the weekend.
Hope to get some photos up soon!
Wish you were all here!
LOTS of Love from Charlene, Michelle & Emma
