Where are you going on holidays?

I feel like I’ve been digesting a full 10 K sack of Pedigree Pal!! Got out of bed waaaay too early this morning (you get out of bed too early, when your alarm clock only goes off while you’re in the shower) – but I managed to get to work at the usual hour, as I just can’t speed it up in the mornings, and when I see I have loads of time, I’m definitely NOT making an effort to meet earlier at work (are you crazy??!). Oh no, I have all the time in the world to get ready now. And just exactly who gets in too late? Again?
Anyway, holidays are approaching.

These days the most popular popped question is; when and where are you going on holidays?
First reaction when I answer Denmark “Ah, nice! ...And then you go where?”
When I am actually serious about spending my summer-holidays in Denmark, people seem to try hard to hide the massive question mark in their forehead; But for TWO weeks???!”
Now, after 5th time explaining that Denmark actually ain’t that cold, and ‘no, you can’t ski there during summer either’ (and for you guys who might not know, you can’t even ski there in winter time. Yeah, it’s true, you can’t – we don’t have one single mountain, and actually not even that much snow) But when I ask how many times people has been in Denmark it’s not really that many either. You guys simply don’t know what you’re missing ;o)

I can recommend two things one should try at least once in a life:
1. To stand on the top of a snowy mountain and take a deep breath. (And this is strongly recommended, btw!)
2. Go and see Denmark - just to know that it’s not always that cold ;) (for me, pleeeeeease)

I can say a lot about Denmark but I just want to make one thing clear once and for all. It is hot in the summertime! Mwahahahaha, ok, of course not as hot as like Spain or somewhere (and I can hear everyone goes “brrrr” ;)). But still, I guess we have like 20-25 in average, but in the last couples of summers we’ve had periods even up to 33-38 degrees (wauw!). And that too makes the sea around Copenhagen, and up and down that coast that follows Sweden, quite hot too! And some years ago a new park was also build along the Copenhagen canal, and today you can lie in the grass and go swimming in the canal, it’s brilliant! Because of the water in the canal is actually that clean it is now allowed to go swimming in the canal. But as ships still sail through here, you obviously have to stay only in the like closed-off pools – unless you like a challenge – and a remarkable high fine. These places are super popular of course – and mostly in the summer... I think they’re planning to build a third (or fourth?) one. And as far as I remember the second should be out at the new shopping-mall! Awesome ladies!!! “Pjew, I feel like a break! Let’s go to the pool and have a drink, before we continue to fourth and fifth floor”. Squeeze-me, but that is pretty cool, if I should say so myself J

Anyway, that’s also why I’m going to Denmark, but first things first. Family and friends. Amazing how much you miss them when you’re living abroad. And especially when you sometimes feel you really just wanna be home. Not even because you’ve had a bad day or anything, you just wanna be home – like that. The first picture posted below on this blog is from one of the good spots to go to if the missing gets too much...

So if I’m not gonna post anything here for a while, you know why.
Cos I’m on holidays! At home!! ...in minus 10 degrees! On NO maountains!!! Weird, I know!!!!! ;)

I hope you will enjoy your holidays, and go somewhere exotic as Norway or something!! ;-p

Later ppl





Wonderful Copenhagen!
