... carrying it. It extends above my head and weighs about 60 pounds. Throughout my trip and particularly in Scandinavia, there have been virtually no backpackers and what there is, a small % are female. I am used to a much more social backpacking scene. <br><br>My ferry docks at Svendborg. I walk around the town for a bit. These towns in Europe have so much more character to their old section than most in the US. I hop on a bus for 40 minutes to ...

DAY TRIP TO ROSKILDE: (03/09/08) Wen, Barbara, Katerina &amp; I set off to visit Roskilde, the former capital of Denmark and location of the famous Viking Ship Museum. Our day did not start off well, with the train before ours breaking down, causing us to have to wait for over an hour. Once we finally got to Roskilde, we had a nice walk around the town and then got some traditional Danish fare from a beer house. I had a really nice smorbrod with a generous serving ...

... so we usually just stop on the way home from school to get stuff for dinner. The stores are much smaller than back home. I am going with a friend to get sushi soon. I have never tried it, so I am very excited! I know I promised to put up pictures, but i forgot. I didn't end up taking too many this week, anyways. I also still need to get some from friends. I will put more up as soon as I can. As always, I hope everyone is well and the rain in WI stops soon!

... song for today, in a few ways - memories of childhood that the Hans Christian Andersen Museum stirred, and also Aero Island, itself. I would have loved vacationing in a place like Aero, as a kid - but now, while I still enjoy it, I could only do this for a day or two, at the absolute most. But seriously - some music, the sun, a beach, and a bench to lie on - what more do you need in life?

... plasta-boards", ou como quer que se chamem) levamos menos de 20 minutos. Mas para colocar as ultimas nas quinas arredondadas levava mais de meia hora cada. Foram semanas de muito trabalho. Nas primeiras duas semanas eramos, ao todo, 15 pessoas da escola. Depois a maior parte voltou para a Inglaterra e eu e mais duas pessoas ficamos. Foram 5 semanas de trabalho descancando apenas aos domingos. Aproveitei ums desses dias livres para dar umas voltas de bicicleta e ...

Chegamos a noite onde iriamos passar os proximos dias. A escola tem dois predios, consideravelmente grandes de quatro andares, que no passado abrigava um hospital e fica no meio de uma floresta proximo ao fiorde... o que eh um firode? "Fiorde é uma grande entrada do mar envolta de altas montanhas rochosas. Os fiordes situam-se principalmente na costa oeste da península escandinava onde são um dos elementos geológicos mais emblemáticos da paisagem, e têm origem na erosão das ...

... in for our overnight (5pm to 9.30am) trip. The ferry DFDS seaways was lovely: a little mini cruise ship with outdoor pool, 2 hot tubs, innumerable restaurants and cafes, a nightclub, cinema, duty free shops, indoor sauna/pool and a TV showing you your up to date location. Unfortunately it was blowing a gale and still raining ...

... s say...the ocean. Luckily, after I hit the end of the lakes, I also hit my bus line. By this point I decided to walk the rest of the way home. Since I walked for about 2 hours and didn't really see anything of interest, I went to the ice cream place and it was amaaazing. It was a cross between gelato and ice cream in a waffle cone. Today, I also got kind of lost getting to class. I usually take bus 14. After missing the bus by 10 seconds, I waited for the ...

After an overnight flight to Reyjkavik and a change of plane we arrived in Copenhagen on Tuesday afternoon. Denmark has the longest running Monarchy (over a thousand years), is a world capital of design and architecture, is sexually liberated and is the home of only 5.4 million people. I am always ...

... cream at Nyhavn Harbor, my favorite place in the city. Then we went to Amalienborg Palace and Mamorkirken. We continued northward to Kastellet and the Little Mermaid, which was much smaller than I anticipated, but we took the obligatory pictures with it before wandering back to the center city. We ended up at Rosenborg Slot, my favorite building in the city (along with possibly the Town Hall). We spent a few hours napping and reading in the beautiful ...
