Mercure Flensburg

Aprés un départ aux aurores....6h30....salon du Bourget oblige, nous apercevons notre premier volcan éteint à Douchy, nous passons outre, il n'est pas assez haut pour une randonnée!!!nous attendrons l'Islande. Traversée de l'Allemagne à petite allure: sur la voie opposée, ils ont réinventé le train

Udrejsen foregik denne gang fra Sønderborg over København. Det forekommet mig at afgangen til Beijing er rykket lidt frem. Således er der kun ca. en times ventetid/ophold i København. "Krisen" medfører at flyet ikke er proppet helt til randen som det plejer at være. Selv på økonomi kan man være heldig at have et frit sæde ved siden af sit eget. Vi landede i den nye terminal som er ganske flot ...

... ocean too! we just wandered around his town and a couple of other small towns in southern Denmark. What a nice country! It reminded me of Holland. I can understand why they are still there. We went out to the coast and drove on the beach, it was quite cool! The sand is so hard packed that you can drive for quite a long way, I have pictures which will show it much better. Up early again to go to the airport!

... While I had no blooming idea what they were saying, fake laughing when the rest of the audience laughed, heheh, it was on the other hand very dramatic in the way they brought across each skit. Dancing, singing, huge props, waterguns being squirted on the audience, it was great! And what was even better was having the chance to go backstage to meet the stars after the show. Yeah again, couldn't say much but just the fact we where ...

this city is really cute! we landed in lubeck, hamburg and took the train via kiel and finally to schleswig! (took a few hours) The town only has about 20,000 ppl and the houses are like cute country houses with huge pretty gardens. Worth heading up to the north north germany. Glad we had our german australian friend seb with us or we probably wouldnt of survived.

I got up this morning and for the first time i could see all the way to the back of the garden without an industrial spotlight. The sun was shining, the air was clear and my room could almost be considered warm. By the time i got home from school the thermometer outside the window read SEVENTEEN SIZZLING DEGREES. In perth i would be wrapped up with a fire at 17 degrees ...

... of a flailing, falling, painful flop onto the wooden bench for fear of passing out if you stay standing much longer.
Now of course there is a small dial with the humidity shown on it in the sauna, with a nicely shaded zone that is ideal for maximum heart failure. So of course one feels obliged to get this right, ladling on more and more water until you cant even see the dial without it touching your nose. Right then, that ...

... sake I have included stylised impressions of me before and after.
All I can say is, when you plan a trip to your foreign friseur (german word for hairdresser, used here for the sake of the "f"), decide what you want, tone it down a hundred fold, learn very appropriate words along the lines of STOP, and leave it in the hands of the professionals. An attack from a razor wielding 9 year old is, more often than not, going to end in tears.

... i rolled into bed at about 5, after all my messing around trying to unlock the back door. My key is cut right...but its just a tiny tiny tiny bit off, so i cant actually open the doors half the time. And then, at 8.30 in the morning the huge benefits of having a 9 yo host brother are revealed. The delight in jumping up and down, knocking on your door, and coming in and throwing lego at you never cease to amaze me.

... on the way back to the van. the night was ok beside the fact that we were absolutly scared from the spiders that infested every source of light in the area where we had the van parked. they were huge and so damn fast in catching the other insects. the body of some of them were even more than 2 cm that for me is way far from beeing aceptable. anyway we locked ourself inside the van and slept at the end quite well.
