Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681Boarded the bus this morning and choose a seat for the journey. It is a small group, so we get to have a seat each and spread out! Only once did we have to listen to the Hoff's 'Im looking for freedom', which was a relief, considering last time I was in Berlin we had to hear it many times and loudly. We drove for a while until the port of Rostock, where we caught a ferry to Denmark! While we waited to board we ate our lunch in the car park. The ferry ride was fun and a great change from driving. Just under two hours later we arrived. We continued driving to the capital Copenhagen. The next two nights we were staying in cabins at a campsite out of the city. There ... read more

I have just returned from a very enjoyable few days enjoying the sights of Copenhagen with Barry. Despite being the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen is not necessarily at the top of everyone's holiday hit lists. I must admit that it does not have the same charm as other cities, and certainly not as many sights as Rome or Paris. But having said that, it still provided us with a very enjoyable 3 days away from hectic life in London and provided plenty of entertainment. However, one word of warning... prices! Copenhagen is expensive - more than London - which certainly limited what we were able to do. However, there are ways around these things, and we still managed to eat and drink plenty. Read on to find out how..! We left for Denmark very early on ... read more

Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681We had friends (KnB)over for a week in May who are Opera buffs and we went to 17 hours of Wagner over 4 nights & it was amazing - it was staged like a full play not just singing. Very interesting experience & the Opera house here is new & has some super dooper acoustic technology made by same people as Sydney Opera house. Also went to Kronburg Castle which is where Hamlet is set & its called Elinsor in the play but the town is really called Helsingør. And up there too is the Modern Art Museum Louisiana - I was there in the winter but I didn't see the gardrens and they are so cool in summer - even has a massive slide adults can go on. Met some Irish people through ... read more

After a year of studying humanities at university, it seems like it is time to once again grab my bag and leave home. This time my journey takes me Southwest to La Peninsula, where I will study a semester in Madrid. I will be gone for seven months and two and a half of them will be on the road. I wont leave until the end of June, but I wish to give a little acount for the feeling of once again travelling abroad and what travelling means to me. But first let me say a few words about the year I had, after leaving my beautiful Ljubljana. I went home to start university five days after I returned to Ljubljana from my trip around the Balkans and felt pretty strange in having left the magic ... read more

Well, just in case you were wondering, we are still alive and have arrived safely in Copenhagen, Denmark. Actually, that was a couple of days ago, and we have since moved onto Sweden today, but thats a whole nother blog, so will inform you of denmark first. We're having heaps of trouble finding a decent internet cafe that will let me upload the photos, so for now you're gonna have to do the boring thing and read, instead of just looking at the pictures til we can put them on. Which is a bugger, cos we've seriously got some great photos, but anyway, shouldnt be too long. Okay, we started our 21 day Contiki in Copenhagen on Saturday night. Our group is made up of 44 crazy people, with the majority being aussies once again, and ... read more
