So its 10:18pm and the sun has just set – the sky is still blue. Last night – got home at… 6 am. I saw the sunrise as I boarded the train… Something about a Bermuda Triangle. Not too sure what it was. Today was spent walking around the city – found me a Timbuk2 supplier here and bought a couple accessories for my bag. Of course, not colour matching, but its a whole lot better than paying the $50US for shipping to Aus!

The went through the 2 main streets of shopping – Stroget and an adjacent street (hopefully I’ll think or look up the name later). Its a really long stretch of road, and it always seems like no one is at work. The streets are crowded all the way till about 7pm.

Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to Hillerod to check out Frederiksborg Castle. So that’ll be early in the morning, head back here to pack and sort out a few trip details, and then out to a football game FC Copenhagen vs Cliftonville.

Slept at about 3am last night. Possibly because of the time difference. Woke up at about 8 am, and again at 9 am, and finally at 10 am. I’m currently in a town called Allerod. Its a 10 minute bike ride to the station, and about 20+ minutes to get into the city. Had a tour from Olivia – since Nick had to complete some application forms for internships. There was a huge loop which took about 6 hours. So places I’ll hopefully upload pictures for: Town Hall, Nytorv Square and the Court Building, Christiansborg, Stroget, Nyhavn port, Amalienborg Palace, Opera House, Marble Church, The Little Mermaid, King’s Garden, Rount Tower and declined entry to Rosenborg Castle – because it was 10 minutes to closing time. There was just so much colour in the buildings – all pastel like colours – just beautiful. It’s so much nicer than the grey and brown in Sydney. Many spots I know Vince would be jealous about for formal wedding shots.

Just had dinner with the whole family here, and tonight will be a very long night – for Nick’s birthday.

So I’m now in the comfort of a home. I’ve showered, and wide awake. I had a brief stroll through the main town, and my first meal was…. asian buffet. So after the hour long wait, we headed off for dinner on the metro – which ran really smoothly. Then we walked down Stroget where it was kilometers of shops. The buildngs look amazing, and I hope to get some good photos tomorrow of the town. It is such a relaxed town. I’ll end up heading into town tomorrow and check out a couple castles as well.

I’ll let you know how everything goes.

Landed in Tokyo a little while ago now. I’ve just been walking around the airport, checking out the shops to see what hilarious things I could buy / take photos of. I found it. I’ll upload an image when I get the chance. I even bought it.

I was amazed that at counters, the people count the money 3 times before handing it back to you, and when you pay, you are supposed to place the money on a tray. The place is spotlessly clean. It’s amazing. The travellators power down when not being used as well, which I’m not sure if Sydney does this. Most people at the airport speak english which is great, but of course, if its just slightly more complicated theres no chance.

Currently I look up and there are kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and an australian flag being posted on the TV. I’ve no idea whats going on there. It seems to be Australian wildlife.

The 4 hour wait hasn’t been that long, especially since I’m now trying to get the internet working on my machine. I just found out my multicard reader isn’t working, so I’m now using the D70 as my reader.

Landed in Danmark and it process of collecting my bags through to exiting took about 10 minutes. At the moment, hanging out at Burger King. Yes, fast food, what would I ever do without it – apart from lose the weight it has given me. I’m waiting for Nick, since it seems he is late. He’s still on the train abuot 20 minutes away. The airport here is pretty organised and modern. Lack of security it seems. If there was nothing to declare, you can walk straight out! It’s extremely hot here. This plane ride wasn’t so bad, even though it was a smaller plane. I’m just can’t wait to get out of this airport! I guess theres just a bit too much english around to have me feel as though I’m not lost.

I better just get all my stuff together and make sure I haven’t lost anything. I’ll write soon!
