Lørdag aften 1½ døgn til "take off". Mit rejseeventyr har været på trapperne siden oktober 2005. Nu er dagen nær. Vild forventning, mange farveller, knus og backpackertendenser har fyldt de sidste dage. Tøjet er pakket - papirer og bøger lagt frem. Snevejret pryder det danske land. Har netop hørt i radioen, at rigtige mange rejsende må overnatte i cph-lufthavn pga. vintervejret og dårlige landings-/letteforhold. Men........... der er lang tid til mandag, kl. 14.30, hvor jeg skal lette. Mon ikke det bliver OK til da? Næste gang I hører fra mig er formentlig fra Bangkok, hvor jeg befinder mig fra 24.-26.januar - eller måske først fra Chang Mai. Looking forward to teling You more. Love from Charlotte... read more

Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681Then New Years in Denmark was good with 3 people from Dublin, 'AnS' and 'MK', everyone has fireworks as they aren't illegal like in Ireland & everyone lets them off together at these lakes in the middle of the city & it was very impressive but bit like I imagine Beirut is! We started off on Woodstock bar in Christiana & end up in Blågårds apotek in Norrebro complete with clackers & streamers & blowy noise things, so I think you can imagine how the night went ...... read more

Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681Well its nearly Christmas .... The benefit of being from a small family means the whole shopping thing isn't so bad. I am so busy at work I haven't time to think about it anyway! Didn't even get round to sending Christmas cards but I don't think you have the year after a family member died so that's my excuse.... C. is just gone back to Ireland now - well he's in the airport as I type - so I am home alone the next 3 nights then I will go back on Friday for 7 nights. Will be in Galway 24th-26th, Mum is coming to Galway on Xmas day too we are all going to the Radisson for dinner, then I will go to Sligo with her for a night to catch up ... read more

Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681They are big into the Xmas markets here, so as my sister in law was here for 5 days we hit the one in Forum which was really good, much better than Tivoli. Also we saw more jazz in jazzhouse with her & she did even more shopping & we brought her to our fave restautant in Christiana called Spiseloppen which has about 6 meat dishes & always one good vege one so everyone is happy. And some good walks all muffled up all over the city.Didn't go to the work Christmas party as feel the language barrier would be an issue when alcohol consumed. Think it was on the work premises where I understand the meal was meat meat & more meat & ends at midnight, so no Leeson St. then ...... read more

The Little Mermaid

thehallidayinn

Rachel Vanderkruik, my ex-roomie and partner in all cape-cod related summer adventures, fortuitously ended up studying in Copenhagen this semester. She visited me in Vienna; of course I was more then happy to return the favor with a visit to Denmark, especially since my mother's cousin Bill and his wife Susanne live there! It was really exciting both to meet up with Rachel - in Vienna, we literally laughed so much our throats hurt - and to reconnect with my family. Copenhagen is an amazing city. When I first arrived, I strolled around the old city, fascinated mostly by the procession of Danes in these pedestrian, cobbled streets in the old city. I have never seen such an attractive group of people! Everyone is so well put together. And a note on the Danish language: what ... read more

Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681Went ot the hairdressers as we were going home for birthday party 25-27 Nov but they haven't a clue how to blow dry curly hair straight so looked like a frizz ball, home was good fun & brought back more clothes & books (know I am going to regret this) also got the hair done properly! Also needed to get marriage cert. so we can get our CPR nos. don't mind that but also having to get a residents permit when you are an EU citizen is a bit much!Apparently you need this CPR no. to breath yet you don't need it to sign a lease on an apt. or to buy monthly travel tickets so I'm dubious itsø all very big brother is watching you, although it defo. entitles one to free GP ... read more
