Kopmansgaarden Hotel Helsingborg

... going to take the ferry across to Sweden just for the sake of it but the weather started to look quite foreboding and the seas looked quite choppy so we decided to head back to Copenhagen instead. Sweden could wait for another day. On the train home we were so tired from all the walking we did that day that we all fell asleep and woke just before arriving back in the city. It was a very interesting day and it was great to get out and see some more of Denmark other than Copenhagen.

DAY 4: Final day of competition started off quite nice with the sun shining and the sky a clear blue. But after reading the weather report for the day I realized that it was going to change. The report stated that conditions would worsen as the day went on and gusts up to 20knots would be blowing along with scattered showers. So I threw on my Pro Rainer sailing gear and readied myself aboard. Even though I have been going home every night during the competition I still felt tired. I ...

DAY 3: After a night at home it felt so good to be able to wake up and refocus on the task at hand. Last year when we raced the Scandinavian championships, we opted to fore go going home from Denmark and have the whole crew, all 8 of us sleep on the boat. It was a daunting experience to say the least, due to the large amount of luggage as well as the C02 that built up throughout the night. It was stuffy and crowded. So this change of pace of ...

... another beautiful picture of this hall in the collection. We got through seeing all this amazing history and the tour ended, of course, in the gift shop. Jeff had said that if they sold small skulls (go read Hamlet) we were definitely going to get one. Alas, poor Yorick, they had none. Back on the bus, back to the pier, where we waited in line with 75% of the passengers to get a ride back to the ship. Four tenders holding 100 passengers each, needing to transport 1 ...

I had never expected to see this much water in Denmark.On my way to work yesterday I sorta fell into the water because it was knee deep. The lake, which would only count for a pond in many other countries, had flooded the bike trail, but I realised that too late, it was 5.30 in the morning I wasn't quite awake yet. So my precious green Doc Marten's and my jeans got very wet, not all that funny that early...though afterwards, it was hilarious.

... fra da jeg var konkurrence svømmer:-D? For en uges tid siden sendte hun mig en mail og jeg syntes godt at jeg kunne genkende navnet, men jeg kunne ikke huske hvorfra, men da hun så ringede lørdag og vi snakkede noget mere, nævnte hun tilfældigvis at hun var tidligere svømmer, og så kunne jeg jo godt huske hvor jeg havde hørt navnet før, det havde stået på alle startlisterne fra stævner rundt omkring, ja det er en lille verden vi lever i...

... er spredt ud over et areal på omkring 800km3. Tuvalu ligger imellem Kiribati og Fiji, der er ca. 250km til Kiribati mod nord og 1100km til Fiji mod syd. Tuvalu hed tidligere, ind til 1978, Ellice Øerne og var en del af den britiske entitet "Gilbert og Ellice Øerne", Gilbert Øerne er hvad der nu hedder Kiribati. Tuvalu er virkelig et lille land, det er kun 26km3 stort, og på disse 26km3 bor der ca. 11000 mennesker, s ...

Setting out in the early morning to catch the train to Copenhagen Airport...goddess I hate getting up early! When I arrived, about 2 hours before the flight, there were a lot more people than I had thought there would be at that early hour. There was only one desk open for my airline and the queue was looong! Fortunately I only had carry-on luggage - after all I ...

... he skal not write, vee catch him and make him dead for dat" It was now time to depart for the Helsingborg steamer, and, in spite of all protestations against his doing so, my kind Swedish friend would leave his warm room, ill as he was, and walk down to the vessel's side with me. He said he been in England about twenty years ago: he could not tell whether he might ever come there again, but if he did he would certainly visit me. He asked for my card which I gave him; but I ...

Sweeeeeeeeden! I had a job interview at "Applied Value" in here in Malmo. Although I did not get the job, I had a great experience at the interview as I learned about business analysis and how with an engineering degree I can do more than just design circuits. But anywho, after the interview I stripped ...
