BACK

So today was my first day after my short one-week-and-a-day-holiday. And I was lucky enough to have a training in my schedule, that had me driving to the centre of Brussels... Well, the driving isn't the hard part. Finding a parking spot is much more of a pickle...

So I didn't really have to care about those 256 unread emails in my inbox, and those 589 spam mails... until tomorrow...

Oh yeah, Denmark was great! 9 people in a Land Rover Defender... cosy. Here's a short report.

We left on Friday-evening (10PM) with 7 guys in, as said before, a Land Rover Defender.

This car isn't made for long highway trips as it's maximum speed is about 110 km/h if you don't want to get yourself in a car crash.

So we drove to Aarhus. Where we arrived around 9AM Saturday morning. I didn't sleep for more than 1 hour in this freakin ship.

After we arrived and finally found Karoliens appartment, we had a small tour around the city. In the evening we all went to a party of interational students. Pity I don't have pictures about that, because it was a 'dress-up-for-haloween-party'. We brought a not so scary soccer team outfit with us. At the party they had KARAOKE!! And yes... let's just say we're now known as the belgian singing soccer team.

Next day plans suddenly changed and we took of to Göteborg, Sweden to visit a friend of Karolien. Nobody of us guys knew her, but she was quite excited having 7 total strangers sleep at her appartment, so of we went. To the north of Denmark, and with the ferry to Göteborg.

That evening we had a few drinks and in that night some more.

The next day we set off again to Lund. One of us knew a guy there that he had studied with in Wales. So we called him if we could put us up for the night... 9 people... of whom he only knew one... he was a bit less enthousiastic as the friend of Karolien, but eventually it worked out.

After Lund, we visited Malmö and crossed the bridges back to Denmark (yes... we drove a lot...) The weather was really bad now... and the wind was pushing us from side to side. Everybody was awake.

Later that day we visited the Guinness world records museum. The picture left is a real life statue of the tallest boy (he died age 22) ever alive. I don't remember just how tall he was, but let's just say he didn't have problems dunking (I'm almost 2m tall...). The museum was a bit of a disappointment... boring and out of date... we almost broke the world record drumming actually.

After a walk around Copenhagen, we set off again in the direction of Aarhus. It was now Tuesday, and a few of us had to go to work on Thursday. So we actually wanted to go to bed early, but ended up talking, drinking and having a laugh until 6AM.

The next day we left around 5PM, and so we were back in Achel (North of Limburg) around 3.30AM Thursday morning.

If I get some more pictures from my friends I'll try and upload them bit by bit.
