... Park, which has more species of mammals than any other African Game Reserve. <br><br>The phrase Big Five game was coined by big game hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot. Lion, African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Black Rhino. Countries where the big five can all be found include South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana.<br>

... to the Cog Museum in the afternoon; Carrie got to go too. A cog is a merchant ship from the middle ages that was based usually in the Baltic Sea or Holland. They were flat-bottomed so they would not tip over in low tide in the shallow waters. Some of them were the first boats with guns on them. The Swedes shipped herring to Germany, among other places, and the Germans shipped back salt and other goods. A ship would pay for itself in the first voyage. They ...

DAY TRIP TO MALMO: (08.09.08) Steve, Amy & I set off to see Sweden - and the easiest way to do that was to catch the train 20mins from Copenhagen across the 'prestigious bridge' to Malmo. We basically had no idea what we wanted to see when we arrived, so we headed for the Twisted Torso building, which had received rave reviews from other Holger residents who had already visited Malmo. It really is an impressive building - it is hard ...

... some ill fate. Taking a self portrait using the timer option as I often do I placed the camera up on some sort of structure where an untimely freak gust of wind came and swept it down on to the concrete ground lens first. The camera is no longer functioning and is apparently unfixable... A very unfortunate end to a great few days... poo On a more positive note one of my favourite things about Sweden is that they provide rugs at pubs and cafe´s!!

... walk by, this becomes a profound state of euphoria! The tour finished up in the Kungshallen garden - Richard recommended a local butcher shop for smorrebrod, the ubiquitous Danish open-faced sandwiches that are one of the best budget lunches in the country. I followed his advice and hooked myself up quite nicely - the worker commented "You're having a very Danish lunch today!" Very true, except that I only paid about 45 ...

... name of Lomma 1, because we came from the Lomma Buktens Seglingklubb (LBS) and I guess the first team from there to enter. The funny thing was that neither Staffan, Leo, or Alex have ever sailed this CB66 boat, but they were confident they could handle it all right even without any prior experience. Which led me to reason I should not be participating given my lack of sailing any other boat except a big 35ft xyacht. So ...

... penalty I paid is spending 3 less hours in Berlin. I'll wake up an extra hour early the next 3 days and I'll get those hours back. Also, they threw a 50$ food voucher my way. A $50 food voucher in the Copenhagen Airport bought me a plate of pasta with salmon, 2 pieces of garlic toast and a Raspberry Juice. That may just end up being my most expensive meal of my trip. It would be great of this trend of getting compensated for taking later flights continues. If it does, I'll ...

... had not been the best day for sightseeing. Rådhus Pladsen looked grey and gloomy in spite of the pretty big number of people there. Of course, it was logical to expect that of all Danish cities the largest number of tourists was in København. And that in turn as a consequence had a large number of Danes, as well. But regardless of all, the fact that I had to take shelter any time I wanted to consult city map, that I had to wear my raincoat under which I felt too warm and ...

... the night watching a movie. all in all a very relaxing time in copenhagan and also note that australia should adapt the bike lanes on the roads to accomodate bikes and bike lights so that maybe if it was not so hilly we could ride our bikes everywhere. if going to copenhagan it is a must if you really want to enjoy their culture that you learn how to ride a bike. highly reccomend it otherwise you want get all of what cophenhagan and its culture has to offer.

... the shot... when will I learn?!? About half the group left the bar at midnight to catch the last train, with another bunch of people leaving around 1:30am. The last of us, David, Jenn, Rhian and myself grabbed a cab back shortly after. The cab ride was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot about our cab driver, who was from Pakistan but had lived in Copenhagen for the past ten yeas. At the hostel there were a couple people still up so we talked for a bit and I was in bed around 2:30.
