Gilleleje Badehotel Helsingør

... no kitchen issue with this hostel is costing me a fortune. I also got to listen to some excellent street musicians. There was the guy on the bagpipes (dressed for the part), the two young guys on the guitar and cello playing great songs and the solo violinist. What I have found is that the Danish aren't particlarly nice, if you ask them something you might just get your head bitten off. Today however, I found that many of the students are very nice though.<br>

... wait before taking the train to Københaven (Copenhagen). It was hard to sleep in the train, despite the fact that when you flattened out 2 chairs which were opposite one another you practically had a bed. I also realised her that despite my initial thoughts, scarfs wrapped around rolled up jackets do nothing to support ones head :( I woke up numerous times on the trip to find new people in my cabin. At about 1am a guy came in who looked German but I was so tired I only spoke to ...

... a necessity. We made do with our camera flashes and light from our mobile phones. It was kind of spooky down there. It got very cold and the ceilings were low. There was absolutely no natural light in a lot of the rooms. I cannot possibly think of how terrible it must have been to be a prisoner of Kronborg Slot. During winter it would be freezing cold. I don't think that many prisoners would have survived. Anyway, that was pretty cool. After finishing at the castle we ...

... of the night before with Mats and Ina trying to get into a locked garage, Staffan and I hoped to fare better it being in the morning and not in the middle of the night. We headed out of the boat while Kalle and Mårten were to take the boat home and we were to drive home. So we walked off to the parking garage and to our great surprise the door was still close. Shocked we stopped and decided to walk back to the boat. And luckily we caught Mårten and Kalle just pulling out the boat ...

Today DIS arranged a bus to go up to Elsinore...or in Danish terms Helsingor, made famous by Shakespeare's Hamlet. Of course, Hamlet lived before the castle of Kromborg actually existed but oh well. We first wandered around the little town of Helsingor. It's very touristy but in a cute way. Helsingor is only 4km ...

After an early arrival on Thursday morning we finally made it to wet and windy Copenhagen after 28 hours of travelling. Walked along the Stroget which is Europe's longest pedestrain street. Also visited the Nyhavn along the waterfront with many cafes and bars. Got thoroughly drenched by heavy rain and terrible conditions when checking out the town for 4 hours. Bit of a shame for such an historic and beautiful city. Not heard from Fred & Mary yet. They must not have recieved our ...

Hej!! we have made it to the end of our SummerLove Tour of Europe. Don't worry, i will be updating this bloody travel log over the coming weeks, i can only apologise for not being able to do it on the Road. So here we are, in Copenhagen. Broke but happy. The car is still going, (currently parked in a paddock somewhere in the Danish countryside listening to a heap of great music...) and even though the rain was relentless the last few weeks, nothing could dampen ...

Ankom sikkert til lille DK d. 29. kl 15.20. Al vores baggage var heldigvis også nået frem i hel tilstand og intet blev tjekket i tolden. Udenfor stod vores familier og ventede med viftende flag. Slut på 5 måneders eventyr for de to danske tøser! We were safely back in Denmark the 29th at 15.20. All our luggage arrived to and none were checked in the toll. Outside our families were waiting waving with flags. The end of the five months of adventures for the two danish girls!

... proved most successful because they had a map and got us sorted out. Next stop food, problem - no cash... Denmark cash that is. We had American, Egyptian, Euro, Canadian, Norwegian, and Swedish cash, but no Danish cash. Searched a long time for an ATM, got one, got Super Burrito from Taco place. Soooooooo good. We wandered around the beautiful streets eating our giant burritos and watched a parade of roller bladers going down the street. Apparently Copenhagen ...

... 11 trout, but there was real discrimination since I didn't even get a nibble. I don't know how they trained those fish to only bite on Dane lines, since we even traded fishing poles at one point. I suppose I was meant to only eat the fish. The trout were big and Hans smoked them and they were delicious. <br> <br> <br> <br>One last cultural observation. On our last evening there was a big soccer game between ...
