Scott's Adventures

After the time in Stockholm, I took a flight to Malmo before crossing the border to Denmark. Though the flight wasn't without excitement, halfway through it the oxygen masks fell down! Was a bit of a shock to say the least. Though thankfully it was a mistake and they didn't need to be used - quite a relief! Anyway.... I eventually arrived in Copenhagen at close to midnight, where I was met by my local Adelaide friend there Steph and some friends of hers. Despite a 6am wake-up call to look forward to, we still went to the student pub to catch up for a while.

Yes, we got up at 6am for a 6.56am train from Copenhagen to Horsens, on the other side of Denmark. The reason for our visit was to see our first taekwondo tournament! Our friend Jeannie was competing there so we went along to cheer her on. Which went well since she won her division! So that was exciting, plus I learnt a lot about how taekwondo as well so that was really interesting. In the evening we went to Århus, Denmark's second-largest city, to catch up with a couple of Danish girls I met four years ago during my strawberry picking experience. We had a nice dinner and wine, before taking the 3 hour train back to Copenhagen, getting in at 1am. Though the night wasn't over yet, we went to check out a cool little club for a little while, was fun. So 23 hours later, got to bed at 5am, but was an excellent day!!

After a nice sleep in, had a lazy Sunday afternoon before heading out to meet the latest taekwondo champ again. We relaxed for a while at a cool cafe, where I managed to slip while going down the stairs with a coffee and two plates with cakes on them.... luckily managed to hold on to everything and just spilt a little bit of coffee. In the evening, Jeannie and I went for dinner at Wagamama, then went to see the new movie Borat. At some times I couldn't believe what I was seeing/hearing, but overall it was quite funny!

Headed back to Sweden on Monday, not without a stop in Lund in the south of Sweden. Caught up with the lovely Sara who was my local guide, we managed to see all the sights of the city despite the rain. There is a great old cathedral which should be seen by any visitors to this nice little town. Had a relaxing afternoon practising my Swedish, before taking the train back to Linkoping in the evening.

Only been back for a few days before we will embark on the next adventure, a road trip to Norway! Heading off in a few hours, so will let you know how it goes next week. Was a great time over the past week in Stockholm, Denmark, and Lund, so looking forward to this weekend as well!!
