Here I am in Copenhagen with Anna Laura and Kevin. AL and Kevin spent most of the time at the DNA Repair Conference, but I had plently of time to wander around Copenhagen. In the picture you can see the new Opera House in the background. I also went to visit the famous Tivoli Gardens, a prototype of the modern day theme parks. You can see me and Kevin as we were watching a parade of the characters of Hans Christian Andersen's stories. ... read more

Copenhagen would have never been on our list of travel sights if some of our best friends wouldn't have moved there earlier this year. So while we enjoyed visiting this city during our travels, what we LOVED more was seeing the Giff family! The city itself was quite small so it was easy to navigate for those reasons however you had to be EXTRA careful not to get runover by a bike. For those of you who don't know about a luxury tax, get ready for this, in Denmark if you would like a luxury item such as say.....a car, you better be prepared to shell out an extra 180% tax! So needless to say bikes are the economical way to drive. We passed on the adventure of using the colorful albeit ugly public bikes just ... read more

Idag regnade det igen! Som vanligt... Vi gjorde ændå som vi planerat och åkte till Clausholm Slott Det var riktigt fint med en stor slottstrædgård med fontæner och allt. Først gick vi trædgården och efter lunch var det dags før slottet. Det var ganska intressant. Inte riktigt lika mycket att titta på som Læckø. Efter det åkte vi tillbaka till Ebeltoft før att gå ut på stan, varje torsdag i juli håller alla affærer øppna till 22, annars stænger dom redan 17:30. Imorgon tænker vi gå upp tidigt så att vi kan komma fram till Fredrikshamn i tid så vi hinner gå lite på stan dær innan færjan. Lars & Susanne ... read more

Idag har vi en stor dag i vårt liv. Vi firade vår brøllopsdag, før tredje gången. De har blivit olika varje år och det ær ju oerhørt spænnande. Tillbaka till gamla minnen. Lars har før 30 år sedan tagit sina førsta stappande steg ,ja han var ju 6,7,8 och 9 år..han bodde med sin familj i Grenå.... Tillsaken, egentligen skall ju Lars skriva detta ;-) men han sa idag ær det din tur att skriva Susanne! Jo vi åkte till Grenå idag och først åkte vi till hans villaområde, han hade berættat att det var en stor lekpark och stort staket. Nær vi hade stællt bilen och børjade promenerade så vællde hans minnen fram, -dær gjorde jag det och dær gjorde jag det, men oj vad det har førændrat sig, detta staket var inte så lågt...det ... read more

Hej, Detta skrivs efter en lång dag av shopping i Århus. Vædret var riktigt dåligt i morse, 15 grader och regn, så vi bestæmde oss før att vænta med Grenå till onsdag i stællet. Tyværr gick det inte att få in några bilder från kameran i den hær datorn på hotellet så det får bli bara text. Det verkar funka riktigt bra att skriva en resedagbok via den hær sidan.

I travelled to Copenhagen in July 2005 to umpire at the Sheep Stations Cup. But I couldn't have picked a worse day to travel - 7/7/05. Yes, that's right, the day of the tube bombings in London! I managed to finally get to Heathrow and through the nightmare security with about 15 minutes to spare. This was my second trip to Copenhagen, having been there for the 1999 Grand Final. ... read more

Hi Everyone, If you're wondering why I'm in front of the pc so much, it's not because Stockholm is boring, it's just that I've got a cold. Probably from going to too many festivals :) The pills are doing wonders though...(thanks mum!) Roskilde festival, as its name may suggest, is held in the town of Roskilde, around half an hour out of Copenhagen. It's a 4 day festival, which is probably a shade long. I think 3 days was enough for me, but that being said, I've had a stretch of 10 days where I spent 7 of them at a festival. For the benefit of all the festival-going folks back home in Melbourne, Roskilde is: - 'big day out', but multiply that by 4 days - then combine it with the camping of Falls festival, ... read more

Hi everyone, how's things? Hope everyone had a chance to catch Live8 over the weekend, wherever in the world you happen to be. After Glastonbury, I've made it to Copenhagen to begin my traverse of Scandinavia (and to attend Roskilde festival of course!). I'm kind of excited and yet still have trepidations at the moment as I'm backpacking solo now. I do know I'm being spoilt though as the youth hostel I'm staying at is all shiny and new with lots of cool facilities. I'll let you know how I'm faring after I've been to a few dank and dingy ones. Apart from having super-swish youth hostels for travellers (gee, how was that for a segue??), Copenhagen is actually a really cool place to visit. Copenhagen is very well planned out, clean, safe, they have lots ... read more

What a difference a month of travel makes. Faithful readers will recall that in June, I got "stuck" in Copenhagen's Kastrup airport for several hours and couldn't really come up with anything to do, so wandered aimlessly in the terminal and was annoyed by things like credit cards and postage stamps. A little travel experience and a positive attitude adjustment sure help! This time, I had intentionally scheduled a 5-hour layover to give me time to bop into the city itself and have a beer, at least, before the flight home. First stop: the book shop, to look for a Danish phrasebook in English. They didn't have any, but they did have an English phrasebook in Danish, which is almost as good! So I was able to pick up the aforementioned minimum vocabulary: please and thank ... read more
