Centrum Copenhagen

Very brief time in Copenhagen, reunited with Mike (YAY!) and my parents at the airport before traveling to our boat for our cruise.<br><br>I was briefly quaranteened after filling out the health check. Apparently side effects from visits to African Nations, and anti-malarials are quite similar to H1N1 early symptoms. Not to worry, it was a short (30 minute) delay before I was onboard and enjoying the experience!

... night of re-sorting our clothes, we were going to Scotland in the morning. By now all our clothes were dirty so we just chose the best of the dirty stuff. Then we fell asleep on the couches at Crouch End. <br><br><br> Epilouge<br> <br> It is hard to judge Roskilde fairly, it had the impossible task of living up to Glastonbury which it failed massively at. That&#8217;s not to say we didn&#8217;t have a good time. We had a great time, an exceptionally great time once the ...

... Shroget. The Shroget is a walking street a little more that a half mile long; full of people and shops of clothing, theaters, small restaurants and even small stores like 7-11 stores. Window shopping and walking among the shoppers would bring us thru the Shroget and onto the City Hall Square. There on the side of the square stood the large and ornate Copenhagen City Hall. It was a massive square that was full of milling people shopping, going to the Tivoli ...

... guard comes and checks behind their coat. It is always done, and the significance to it is to "check for any hidden girlfriends". We saw that and talked to a police officer where we were informedthat each part of the castle was for a different individual. The main one of which was for the Queen herself, but because the flag was not up, it meant that she was not home. The other areas of the castle was one for the first son, and the othe was for the second son andhis ...

... and riding their bikes along beside our ship. There are a lot of parks and green belt areas around the city, and again there are a lot of bicycles. They have these bicycles with a solid area where the spokes would be, that you can just use as you want. You pay 20 Kroners, take a bike, and get your 20 Kroners back when you return it someplace else. They have bike trails everywhere but also bike lanes on the ...

... great converstaion, fruit and a beautiful sunny day, it was perfect. We then headed back into town for dinner. I splurged on dinner because they wanted to have a nice seafood meal and it was time I had a nice meal myself. Spent about 60 canadian but it was a damn good steak and seafood that is for sure. We said our good byes and they asked if I wanted to join them for the museum the next day. I was game as long at they didn't mind but we all had such a good time ...

... insight that it takes to plan for such a long vacation. Next weekend - I promise - between cleaning the apartment, finishing some more work and making the home office look nice (right now we have paper and books everywhere - including on the floor)... Enough for now. I guess the blogs will get more interesting when I get travelling...! And maybe I should start writing in Danish...

... restricted to travel across the countries - she was trying to cross several of countries borders without having to show proof of her passport and without having to answer to her nationality at the border control. As each border came and officials do the customary check of passports, she played the dumb girl card, like she doesn´t understand English, she answers that she is a Holland citizen and the only identification she musters up in her apparent loss of ...

... the buildings. We then walked to the first royal palace. This is on a little island that is separated from the main land by a very narrow canal. The palace contains all the government rooms and space for the king to live even though he doesn´t live there. We decided no to go in the palace, just underneath. This is because there is a whole exhibit of ruins underneath the palace. The ruins date back to the 11th century when a castle was built in the same location ...

... mixed dancing with drinking/chatting. One of the bars clearly excelled in cocktails - all were made by the same expert who had a special elevated section of the bar with all required paraphernalia within easy reach. Very enjoyable cocktails:-) We returned home about 3:30ish after visiting a 24-hour cornershop for a drink and ice-cream. Luckily this turned out to be great timing. After we were in the bed the rain arrived and didn't really pause to stop much for over ...
