... 8211; as in “what I am fighting for”. The answer being - the kids, the trees, people suffering all around the world, and so on… But sometimes it is the “how” – as in “how we’re going to do it” that makes the impact and provides the inspiration and hope.

The latter was working in full-force for me at the Nordic Folkecenter. Just soaking in everything that is possible made me so certain ...

... so important etc. It is pretty basic and easy to read because it was written for journalists.

Hopefully that fills everyone in, and then the rest of my posts will make sense over the next few weeks.

Another post coming very soon about the Folkecentre. Fabulous place!! :-)

Silkeborg was a beautiful little city built around it's river. It had walking paths by the river, and in the summer had river cruises. Such a pretty place. One thing that caught our attention was the garages for boats, complete with roller doors and all.

... s parents took us back to there in Hjorring further north than Aalborg. I was very please to find I had a bed to sleep on being the first real bed I had had since leaving the UK. The next day Trine borrowed her parents car showed me the local sights including Skagen the northen most part of Denmark where two sea's meet. I tryed to escape but the tide brought me back

Didn't do much. Meet Trine a friend who I had meet last time traveling in Death Valley in the States. Her friends came round and wanted to show me what Denamrk is about. So we did what Danes do best we drank and drank and then drank some more.Then once we couldn't ...

... and his flat mate, rene, were great. Rene wasnt working so he toook me around the city for the first day i was there. we walked all over and headed up to the Aalborg tower which sat over 100m above the city. It was a great view from the top and we sat up there for a while and it was quite weird feeling it rock in the wind. The next day Rene and i decided we would go out to a nearby island called Egholm. We caught the ferry out there and decided we ...

We arrived in Northern Denmark, to a town called Aalborg. Its an old river port city close to Sweden and Norway..after getting out of the train station, we found a nice place to stay in the city and got something to eat..we then found a laundromat and got all of the clothes clean..that night we watched the Confederations Cup final, Brazil vs. Argentina at the local pub, then got back to our place to get some sleep..

... train station ... desperate to put the bags down ... anywhere!!! Silkeborg (central Jutland) was our first destination outside of Copenhagen and we took a lovely train ride to Arhus followed by a bus ride to the heart of the Lakes District of Denmark. The hostel in Silkeborg was by far the best I've ever stayed in and we had our very own little cabin right by the water's edge. Apart from the fact that we didn't leave the heater on overnight on the first night and we woke up freezing ...

... later and join the rest to go to town again for dinner. Dinner was provided by the tour and the guide led us to various interest points of the town including the Jens Bangs Stenhus, Old Town hall, Monastry of the Holy Ghost and Aalborghus Slot (castle). We finally reached Benzons, one of the restaurant recommended by LP. Dinner at Benzons was a 3 course meal consisting of Shrimp cocktail, Chicken (bland) and pear pie. Dinner was served ...

Once a week I used to meet with the youth group at Hillerød Library to do book, film, pc-game and music reviews. DR-Radio had heard of us and invited us to Aalborg to do a couple of shows. It was a lot of fun, eventhough the trip home wasn't that nice, because we were stuck in Storebælts Tunnelen, because there was a hurrican over Demark that day, yay. But we got home eventually, about 4 hours late.
