真正的"患難"夫妻:蜜月曆經6次天災

一對瑞典新婚夫婦在他們爲期4個月的環球蜜月旅行中經歷了澳大利亞洪災、新西蘭克萊斯特徹奇地震和日本海嘯等6次天災，實屬史上最考驗人的蜜月。

這對夫婦帶着他們的小女兒於去年12月6日從斯德哥爾摩出發，然後因爲歐洲暴雪而被困德國慕尼黑。之後他們飛往澳大利亞，在那裏遭遇該國曆史上最強的一次颶風和洪水，隨後又驚險逃過了一場叢林大火。這對夫婦接着飛往新西蘭的克萊斯特徹奇，而2月22日的一場6.3級地震在他們到達前纔剛剛洗劫了這座城市。

於是他們飛往日本東京，可在他們到達後幾天，日本就發生了大地震和海嘯。經歷了一路災難的兩夫婦和小女兒在中國停留幾日後最終於3月39日返回斯德哥爾摩。

A newly-wed couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters, including the Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami.

Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately stranded in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms.

Travelling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of the most ferocious cyclones in the nation's history.

From there, the couple, in their 20s, were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement floor of a shopping centre with 2500 others.

"Trees were being knocked over and big branches were scattered across the streets," Mr Svanstrom told Sweden's Expressen newspaper. "We escaped by the skin of our teeth."

They then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped raging bush fires.

The couple then flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude 6.3 earthquake devastated the city on February 22.

Mrs Svanstrom said: "When we got there the whole town was a war zone.

"We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to Japan."

But days after the Svanstroms arrived, Tokyo was rocked by Japan's largest earthquake since records began.

"The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings," Mr Svantrom said. "It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth."

The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China.

But Mr Svanstrom – who also survived the devastating Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004 – said the marriage was still going strong.

He added: "I know marriages have to endure some trials, but I think we have been through most of them.

"We've certainly experienced more than our fair share of catastrophes, but the most important thing is that we're together and happy.

Mrs Svanstrom added: "To say we were unlucky with the weather doesn't really cover it! It's so absurd that now we can only laugh."
