Denmark Cycle

Hey everybody,

I have just gotten home from my week biking trip around a part of Denmark. I biked a bit over 400 km over the time so a far whack, but at an easy pace. The route we followed was mainly along coastline with beautiful beachs or through the bush, either way it was usually very pretty although the bush could be hard going with some difficult paths. We started in Helsingor and our first overnight was in Frederiksvaerk. Then it was to somewhere im not sure of the name is then to Holbaek, then roskilde for two nights and later copenhagen for the weekend where I met up with my Helen and Aiden. I went with my host grandfather and a group of his friends, my friend Alana also followed along but not until the second night. The first two days were great for my swedish being with the swedes obviously, as i didnt need to bother using english allowing me to just think and speak in swedish and was very satisfying. The week was really fun and was great spending time with alana who lives an hour or so away from me. I have my photos pretty chronologically ordered so will just write about the pics for you to explain my trip....

On Friday night in copenhagen we met jacquelyn and Samantha for dinner






Then Saturday morning I met my sister and her boyfriend at the train station in Copenhagen and had a lovely day together. It was nice meeting somewhere else and being tourists together, I think it was a great way to do it before going to my home in Sweden. We were just on holiday together doing a boat tour on the canels in copenhagen, walking through the commune of Christiania which was very interesting, shopping, dinner and then going to the 160 yr old theme park Tivoli.
It was nice to be in copenhagen before Sweden because i have such a different life in Sweden that doesnt include my life in New Zealand. It sounds harsh when i describe it like that but it is difficult to explain. I have a swedish family and a swedish school and friends and fave hang outs etc so I was unsure how I would feel when I brought the two lives together but it was lovely to show Helen and Aiden around my neighbourhood and introduce them to my host family and take them to a favourite cafe for lunch etc.

I was really lucky to have great weather the entire week and got a bit of a tan. Today I had a lovely day hanging out with 3 girls who are at my next school. I have changed schools as many of you know due to the fact that it just wasnt working out at my old school. i am looking forward to the fresh start in august when school returns after the great summer holidays that have started.

I have a lot to look forward to over the next few months and just want to go go go! hahaha

On the lighter side,
