... are very small, bathroom even smaller but very HIP if they still use that word. I think Bob and I are the oldest guests and the only ones without tattoos, piercings or black leather. They serve a free breakfast. European style, lots of cold cuts, cheeses, great fresh breads but also scrambled eggs, beans in tomato sauce for the British, and little sausages. They even have two espresso machines to make your own espresso, capuccino, etc. There ...

... we only moved forward from sitting under the shade of a tree when they came on stage, we still managed to walk straight to the edge of the D-Barrier, it was easy, like Sunday morning. Being there first tour since they broke up some ten years ago, I thought it would be a packed headline show. They must not be as massive as I thought they were. Their show was epic. Each one of them wore a different coloured suit, and although they were getting old they still rocked. It ...

... made our way down embassy row and back into the Churchillparken. A brief search near the train station turned up a reasonably good Chinese place, although Kaye got her mouth a bit scorched by a couple of hot peppers from Carrie's beef dish. After the train ride back to the hotel, we worked on 'the bills.' Hotels came out pretty even and really don't think it was such an expensive trip (apart from souvenirs) considering all the fun we had.

Copenhagen, like most of Scandinavia is quite nice. Clean, but again relatively expensive. I went to a bar called Woodstock in Christiania, that was cool. Don't bother with Tivoli unless you're under the age of 10, I don't know what made me think it was worth seeing. I was rooked. Nice parks, port and ...

Sorry for the poor photo quality but again most pictures were taken in the rain. Scandinavia is very green for a reason. With sunny skies there would be so many awesome photo ops. Copenhagen is a charming city that is expensive yet packed with tourists. The old town has a lot of character and beauty while the 'new' town has a totally different look ...

The weather has been beautiful the past few days! It looked like it was going to rain all weekend, but it only did for a little and we have had at least some sun everyday. The weather was strange for a little bit. It would be really chilly, then the sun would come out and it would get warm for a bit. I have been in the habit of carrying a jacket everywhere. It was really warm all day today, though. Last Saturday, I went with a group to Christiana, a small ...

... at an easy pace. In the late afternoon we gathered up in full Nighthawk form (black jackets and warmup pants, sports bags, other bags full of gifts, athletic tape and medical supplies). Our destination was the suburb of Herlev (pronounced HairLOO) where a tall Nordic guy named Soren Hedegaard met us at the train stop, got us on Bus 167 and met us again where we were dropped off at this huge sports complex into which three Port Townsend and ...

... You could hear them through half the zoo. Since it's a Scandinavian zoo, it also had it's share of arctic animals including reindeer and polar bears. They also are supposed to have the only tasmanian devil outside of Australia but I never seemed to find it. My favorite animals were the tamarins. They are kinda monkey like and there were about five different type of them ...

... to in Stockholm! Breakfast at the hotel was adequate, Courtney wouldn't let me make cheese and ham sandwiches to keep for lunch, great idea though! Our early start was great, but nothing in Copenhagen opens till 10am, so as we wandered around the city, it seemed still asleep. As the crowds started to gather, the weather also began to cheer up. We made our way through the streets to the main canal terminal for a canal sight-seeing tour of the city. There's not too ...
