The Council of Oslo had been looking for explorers half a year ago. But because paper stamping and other bureaucratic problems the party was ready to leave half a year later, in June.
They boarded a train in Oslo, rode it to Låckered, then from there to Herrljunga and finally the last stretch to Stockholm. It took a whole day with several hours spent in both crossings while they transferred the train cart from one train to another. But given that they had a whole cart for them, they could walk around and have dinner in Låckered and a few drinks in Herrljunga while their equipment was hauled around and attached to another train.
In Stockholm they were lead to the harbour and their next vehicle of choice. Their truck was loaded in the boat that would take them from Stockholm to Turku/Åbo. They took part in loading the truck with all the equipment they would need on the trip. Hans, the lad who would be sailing them across the sea would pull out of Turku harbour when they were let out and withdraw to the sea to wait their return.
It was all nicely planned, wasn't it?
In Stockholm they needed to wait for their leader. Their trip had been delayed by a few days and they were still in Copenhagen when the rest of the party arrived in Stockholm.
Which of course meant sitting around, rechecking the equipment for some, finding the best bars in town for others...
