Copenhagen, Denmark


So i left London in a haste and didnt have time to meet up with everybody, but that's ok, it's only a stone's throw away from the Scandinavia and a return ticket cost you next to nothing.

Got in to Aarhus before noon and quickly realised how expensive it is to live in Denmark, in recent years it has become one of the most expensive countries in Europe, on par with the UK and Russia.

I jumped on the bus headed to the city to meet with Joe and Louisa, and their new born cute as a pie baby Marius. When i got there, they have already prepared a nice little room up in the attic for me, with a million dollar view and an en suite bathroom. What more can u ask for?

for the next couple of days we were just cycling around town doing what a dane does best, having danish pastry in the park, went to the woods and the beach, having dinner parties, and getting to know people.

I then moved on to Odense, a city where Hans Christian Andersen was born. Deniz and Lars hosted me, and we also have visitors Emilia and Andrew from France and Canada respectively. They say the more the merrier, we cooked, we dined, we drank, we had long walks in the countriside and we slept in. Isnt summer just great?

Today i hitched two rides to Copenhagen and im staying with Jan. He's a vegan so we had lotsa vegetables and tofu, and we talked about sustainability, a subject in which he's really passionate about. It suits me since i'll soon be taking up that discipline but i doubt i'll be able to live without heating and to reuse my shower water. Again, thank God it's Summer!

Will be getting to Sweden this weekend.

Those last two pics really look as though it could be in Malaysia. But they seriously look sedap!

Enjoy your Danish jaunt and have a safe arrival in Sweden xxx
