Three weeks, Motorhome, USA, Summer 2017
USA RV Trip 2017
We arrived to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, where flight leaves soon towards San Francisco with one layover.
There we have a reserved RV (for 3 weeks) waiting for us, which we'll use to tour the life in America.
There was some anxiety about catching the second flight, because the flight was slightly late.
There was only one hour layover in Amsterdam, and the airport was pretty big, but we made it just in time.
We finally arrived and soon we're off to practice using the Bart.
Which of course is a metro, which we'll be using to go to other side of the bay.
The journey takes almost two hours, but it's so much cheaper than a taxi so we thought we'd save some money.
The flight was very comfortable, and on a positive note we didn't spend any money as the food and drinks were free during the flight.
They also had blankets and pillows.
The downside was bad resolution of the screen, but overall the flight was pretty good as a whole.
Should try to buy the Bart tickets.
We'll have to change the trains, because it won't go all the way to our destination
This shouldn't be a big problem, though, as one ticket will take us all the way to the destination.
1. Check the price of the trip from the list 2. Put enough money in the machine 3. Choose the right amount from the machine 4. Print the ticket 5. Take the change
This should get you through the gate
Slightly tricky to shoot video when there are so many bags with us.
This saves around $80 compared to a taxi
Bags are going to leave .Can you hold them?
The journey lasts for more than 1.5 hours, so there's some time to sit around here.
We can switch trains on almost the first stop.
So we arrived to this kind of a place...
That's where you head back.It smells here...
Interesting ... Well, that's fine.
A small practice.We got up for nothing, it seems that the second train leaves from the same rail.
There's quite a bit of practice as we're not used to these things and haven't been to many big cities.
(San Francisco downtown)
I think we're in the right train now. Let's see if we make it to the destination.
We made it to Fremont and now we take a taxi to the hotel.
It's probably around 5 kilometers to the hotel from here.
That Bart thing was an interesting experience.
That probably took at least 1.5 hours.
t wasn't that bad, but it took a bit practice as we haven't used something like that before.
Of course the hotel is the cheapest one in the neighbourhood.
Though it's pretty good we're near the rental place.
We were thinking of going to grab something to eat and come back for a rest.
We're getting tired.
One night we stayed up all night, had a little nap in the plane and now we're going through a second night in Finnish time.
Have to try to sleep early.
We're trying to find our way to the shopping mall.
We grabbed some American dinner.
It's a little heavy, but it's pretty good.
Even though it's not more than 6 PM, we'll have to go to bed as we're really tired.
Pretty good salad.
It looks like it's built on a wooden frame, a plate and a plaster.
I wonder how it'll hold?I guess it will.
Now we're full an we'll go to sleep.
Tomorrow we'll officially start our holiday when we get our RV.
Bye bye.
In the next chapter we'll go shopping, and after that we'll pick up our RV.
