... fun but I was so so tired.

Saturday 5th June, Day 164, Roskilde day 5

I think we began the day by getting up close to the front for a set by Elbow. Even though Joss loves these guys and they have grown on me a lot, neither of us expected a very interesting set. They just seemed more like CD music than festival music. But Elbow blew us away. They connected so well, each and every one of them. They were lovely guys too, chatting to the crowd and helping us ...

... mostly rural. We stopped enroute to a little town to see a motorcycle museum. Wayne had met a couple on a sidecar on the ferry and they gave him the address of it so off we went. I decided I would sit this one out in the car while he went in. On returning to the van nearly 40 minutes later he reported the museum was interesting but had a creepy perv running it who showed him a picture of a young Thai girl he was keen on , he was old and the experience was disturbing for Wayne ...

... deduction that are very similar to what we have in the US, so it's not bad at all, but other taxes are more harsh: tariff for cars is about 180%, car tax depending on engine size, horse power and number of seats (the different of what you pay between a 2-seated and a 4-seated car is so substantial that some owners don't install the backseats until the car is 10 years old to avoid this). Taxes for tobacco and alcohol are exorbitant (but a lot of them still ...

... first day of Denmark disappoint us... Downpour, Turkish hotels, Chinese shops, kebab...
Well, yes, staying at a hotel near the station, could not go further)
A stroll through the city turned the next day, we had two minuses - heavy backpacks and again lack of time...
We did not expect among the classic European homes to find so many symbols of the crescent and star, they were even under the feet))
And yet there is a looooot of bike)

Vi ankom med flyveren kl. 15.25 men fik først vores baggage kl. 16.20. Sussi's forældre, søster og niece var velkomstkomité. Vi kørte sammen hjem til os og der blev delt gaver og røverhistorier ud. Vi gik i seng kl. 19, efter at have været vågne i 24 timer og på farten i de 18 timer. Det har været en helt fantastiks tur. Man er helt overvældet ...

Two days to go:-D When I got my exam schedule I did get a little nervous, as my last exam was on the 24th of June, and my departure was on the 27th - and my faculty is not know for its precision or consistency of plans, but fortunately the date was not changed. Yesterday I passed by Realia C exam on Global China, it was a presentation of Liang Qichao, a "famous" Chinese interlletual in the end of the 19th century, and his works. It didn't go to bad, but not too good either ...

... pie, you name it. We sat in long tables, the nationalities well-mixed, and the greatest scene was the active, interested conversation between our players and theirs. It went on for close to two hours. Then we picked up our bags, hugged everyone goodbye and trundled off into the night towards our train station for the ride home. The dinner, like the games, were set up by Rasmus Munck, the excellent coach of an excellent Danish ...

... and dropped into bed (separately) clothes and all.. DAY 3 Waking up feeling as 2nd hand as a used condom with a head like it was inside that condom getting beaten all night, so the only cure for this was a coffee sweetened by a dash of Kahlua. today was simply a day of rest as we had a massive night out in Malmo that night with some DJ playing and so nothing was really achieved but alot of sleep.. We went to Malmo and had a fairly big night of drinking, dancing ...

... Sweden then to Berlin which is weird as it involved going away. we packed up and and left and got to the train station in good time jumped on the train to Malmö. However this is where things started to go wrong and we have the biggest nightmare of the trip to date!! there is no more space on the night train its fully booked so were stranded in Malmö. Murry was Mad as hell i was just like whats done is done but all the same that didnt help lift his mood. in the end we ...
