Kiruna Trip

I have just uploaded some pictures from Kiruna. Jaume gave me, thanks. There are a lot more to upload, as fast as I get them I will upload.

You can find it in:
Kiruna Pictures Pack 1

Is 468 Megas big so it can take a long, I recommend you to use some Download Manager.

I would also like to know if you are downloading it.
If you don’t say anything I won’t upload anything else, but I think that there is people who can use this. Just let me know or I won’t upload more understanding that nobody need them.

Also send me your pictures if you have more.

Hi guys. I still haven’t talked with any of you from the trip because we arrived yesterday night from our “other” trip 🙂

I will tell you about it, but really amazing.

I would also tell you about the pictures we took. I have some, that I will upload here. I will (if you want) create a way to allow you to upload them and put them available for everybody. It will be also good to meet one day and get as much as we can and after upload them for the people who can’t go to the meeting or are not in Örebro and also the possibility of uploading for them.

What do you thing?

Alberto.

Hello everybody

So finally tomorrow is a first day of our trip :)) I really hope that it will be unforgettable week and we will have a lot of amazing memories!! I would like to thank all of these people whose put their time and energy to organize this trip!!

Couple things to remind you:

• Train leaves tomorrow at 14:56 so please be at Örebro train station at least 14:45. We will split the tickets before departure.
• We will have, not to much of space in the cars. Please take only necessary stuff with you, because there will be problem with load everything.
• Take the slipping bag if you have it. There is an extra prise for renting sheets.
• It’s good idea to bring some food with you to not spend extra money in Lapland.
• If you have any maps of north of Sweden or Norway, please take it. It’s better when each car has a map.

Okay, I think that’s all what i wanted to write. Take tonight a rest to have a lot of energy for whole next week or if you prefer come with us to the party at Filip’s place :)) It’s beginning at 21:00, and i think it’s around Studentgaten 30 :))

See ya tomorrow at the station

As you should know, we are organizing a trip to Kiruna and the places arround it.

Right now I just leavy a list with the people who is already signed and confirmed for the trip and a little information.

There will be to trips (alternatives, but we will meet 25th/26th in Kiruna):

• Go by train
  Departure: 24-03-07 in the train station of Örebro. Two trains:
  – 19:44 that arrives at 15:27 the day after. Price: 418 SEK.
  – 15:27 that arrives at 10:29 the day after. Price: 465 SEK.
• Go by car (more info below).
  Departure: 23-03-07

About the way back is pretty sure that it will be the same for both groups since the idea is get there and meet there everybody.

The price of the car will be a little bit more expensive since we will visit more places (the north of Sweden) and more days, but we will have the car inside Kiruna and Lapland so we will be able to move freely there and the other group is planning to rent a car as well so the difference that the save maybe will be the money that we save from the train.

Here I attach the list of people who is going.

Do you wanna join any of the groups (click to open the list of groups)(list updated 13-02-07 at 17:37)?
