Scandic Hotel Webers Copenhagen

... Mike and gang sort out how to get Sid spanked or whatever they were trying to do. Jim was feeling out of place, so we both kept our shirts on, the other 3 were shirtless (and still more clothed then most of the guys in the joint). Anyway, I'll stay out of the truly graphic details, but we mostly just wandered, had a few more beers, talked to random guys and saw the,... tools of the trade. There actually wasn't anything much going on at first (minus some old couple ...

... the mustard for Glastonbury and our other bag full of camping gear off one train and onto another. This second train took us right into Roskilde. We hopped off the train and found ourselves in an unfamiliar residential and commercial city area. We thought the festival was in the middle of nowhere so the shops, roads and carparks surprised us. There were no signs directing us where to go, and although there were heaps of festival goers, they were all going in ...

... everything they could to minimize additional damage. After lunch as we went about the ship, all everyone could talk about was the listing. In the gift shop (the one with all the liquor) the huge bottle of tequila tipped over and spilled (tragic!). Pictures on easels were all on the floor… In short it was the most exciting thing that has happened today. Especially since all of the doors to the outside decks were pretty much closed off to keep numb ...

... the kitchen. We sat together and had breakfast together and then he passed out when I was leaving. Crazy kids :P Walked to the bus with my tea in one hand and water in the other. I quickly drank them and left the cups next to the Pressbryån (over priced Swedish convenience store). Did not even care if they were stolen at that point I was so hungover. Got on the bus and passed out. When we arrived ...

... unnecessarily. Next up was a walk up to the lakes along the border of the central part of Copenhagen, down and around to the City Museum. Entry was surprisingly free and the set of exhibits proved an interesting insight into the history of the region and the city. I found it interesting how modern Copenhagen in many ways is a direct result of historic decisions; other cities seem to be left quite a bit more to chance. A final Copenhagen walk brought us back to the hotel ...

... full crew we were not sure about our exact weight, but I weighed in at a nice 48.1kg hopefully giving enough leeway for the guys that were coming tomorrow morning. After the weighing drama we walked around the tent and looked at the various displays. We weren't sure about what to do about food tonight, so Mats suggested we just grab some of the sausages they had at the tent and we ate those most hungrily and waited for the reception an hour later. The reception ...

... around. Didn't get much sleep due to the fact they turned on the lights in accordance with our destination time in London. I arrived in London around lunchtime and saw a sign that said EAT. So I did. I always hear such horrid things about English food. I am not sure why, but I took the safe bet and had a sandwich and a coke. I plan on trying coke everywhere, because the sugar and the water in different countries always makes it taste ...

... Holiday Inn på Phi Phi. Det ser nu også ret dejligt ud på billederne - men nu får vi se. Den 30.1 går turen videre til Phuket, hvor vi mødes med farmor, farfar og Flemming. 14 dage på The Chedi i Phuket sammen med de 3 tilrejsende. Den 12.2 bryder vi alle op fra hotellet. Farmor, farfar og Flemming rejser hjem til DK. Vi andre tager fly til Bangkok - og videre med nattog til Chang Mai. Her starter vores ...

... a muscular mind I might add). Any inkling I had that beer remianed fairly universally priced was promptly cleft in twain and torn asunder. Oh yes and I bought a seriously awesome set of wheels yesterday. Plus the wheels came with a free bike-frame. The salesman (who was a rugged Frenchman and called me Merci) even offered to attach the bike-frame to the wheels. Thus completing the bicycle. I bought a bike because the biking system over here ...

... it received its charter as a city under Bishop Jakob Erlandsen. Copenhagen c. 1895During 1658-59 it withstood a severe siege by the Swedes under Charles X and successfully repelled a major assault. In 1801 a British fleet under Admiral Parker fought a major battle, the Battle of Copenhagen, with the Danish navy in Copenhagen harbour. It was during this battle Lord Nelson famously "put the telescope to the blind eye" in order not to see Admiral Parker's signal to cease fire ...
