Couple's natural disaster-plagued honeymoon

Honeymoons aren't always easy for newlyweds, but six natural disasters?

Stefan Svanstrom of Stockholm says he set out on a four-month-long honeymoon with his wife, Erika, and their baby girl on December 6 and immediately became stranded in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms.

After that, he says, they experienced the devastation of a cyclone in Cairns, Australia, and the flooding in Brisbane, and narrowly escaped the bush fires in Perth.

Just before arriving in New Zealand, Svanstrom says, the 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch and at the couple's last destination, Tokyo, they felt Japan's largest earthquake since records began.
