Friday morning upon arriving in Copenhagen, we headed straight for our hotel to drop off our luggage. Luckily they had a room ready early for us. After leaving our luggage in our room, we headed to a bakery at the train station for crosants. Then we took a walking tour of the city again guided by Rick Steves. We walked along the Stroget, a long pedestrain only street. We also took a rainy canal cruise, ate ice cream in fresh waffle cones, and gazed at the statue of little mermaid. We dragged our tired feet back to the hotel for a quick nap. Later we ate dinner at Wagamama, a new trendy Asian noodle place. The food was great! Then we headed into Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagens 169 year old amusement park and Walt Disney's inspiration for ... read more

We jumped ship this morning at 9.58am. At 10.00am it rained!! Viewing the little (very tiny) mermaid in the rain all added to the ambience. The infamous statue was so nothing that we didn’t even bother with the obligatory photo. However, we did take some shots of the other most photographed attraction in Copenhagen - Nyhaven. The brightly coloured rows of houses/cafes either side of the canal was also slightly disappointing. I guess you must have to enjoy a Carlsberg in the sunny outside cafes for it to live up to the vividness of the tour books. We sat on a bench in St Nicholas’ churchyard to enjoy a strawberry danish pastry before heading out towards the free loving world of Christiana. A hippy commune - intriguing but a little uncomfortable. Much of its appeal for ... read more

Hi guys, so it's been almost forever since I've updated my blog. So much has happened that this is probably going to take me a couple hours to write. Over the last two weeks I was able to visit the park, the harbour, and the beach (beach yay!!). Each of them made me feel like as if I was part of some movie because they were so beautiful. First off the park in Copenhagen is like no other park I have ever seen. It's really big and spacious -- like two Horlacks put together . There is a lake, a waterfall, and you can go paddle boating. Ducks and swans (well I think they're swans....looks like them anyway ha ha) roam around, and there are beautiful bridges that connect to the other side of the park. ... read more

I joined Lara on a trip around the Baltic sea. We started out in Copenhagen, where we visited the little mermaid and I enjoyed a ride at the front of the metro train (which has no driver). When we left Copenhagen, we drove down through Denmark to Gedser, passing lots of wind turbines on our way. Gedser is the most Southerly town in Denmark! At Gedser, we caught a ferry over to Germany - the photos are of me at the port, waiting for the ferry to arrive.... read more

Efter 10 dages warm-up på en særdeles varm, syngende og graffitiduftende dyrskueplads i Roskilde er LilleFinke & StoreFinke i fuld gang med forberedelserne til deres Rail... Vi tager afsted mod Amsterdam onsdag aften - hvis alle bookingsystemer kommer op at køre igen. Vi pakker videre og krydser fingre, for alt kommer jo som bekendt til den, der venter. (Tak for en fantastisk festival, guys) ... read more
