Quirky, and proud of it.




Days blending together.... so much to tell...

Sheesh. It's like day 24 of my 32 day tour in Scandinavia/Russia and I've barely blogged at all.

In my last entry i did give you a bit of a description of Copenhagen, so I probably won't spend that much more talking about it. Well, maybe a little. You'll get whatever i can squeeze out of my poor little brain in the next half hour before my internet time runs out.

Firstly, i'd just like to extend a thank you to my buddy Adam for linking my way. Cheers, dude!

Right. Copenhagen. The last thing i told you all was about my first day there. On the second day (my tour was meant to start at 6 pm of the day after i arrived in Copenhagen) wandering around the youth hostel I encountered other people from my tour (not surprisingly) and we decided to head off to the city together for some general exploration. This was a really nice idea and the three of us traipsed around the city making jokes and getting to know each other. In the course of our travels, we visited many sights including the palace and as well as going into an erotic museum along the way. The erotic museum was very very funny and i'll post pics if and when i feel like it - there's up in my room on cd for the time being. Don't have time to get them.
The erotic museum was an eyeopening experience. It seemed to have everything from random porn magazine covers through to a 10 by 10 wall of television screens showing porn non-stop. It even had a shock section, with beastiality and really enormous women. Shudder.
For any of you visiting the city of Copenhagen, at least go into the foyer of the erotic museum. it's filled with hundreds of tiny figurines in a million different suggestive positions. It's very cute and interesting. And free to look at. And really funny because you'll often find tourists like me zooming in for macro shots of the most disturbing things like... er... donkeys....

Clearly, the erotic museum made an impact on my little brain that day.

Other highlights from the day included hiring one of the free bikes available around the city. Now, please bear in mind that i had not ridden a bike in at least 6 or 7 years. I was never particularly good at it back then anyway. Also realise that I have never EVER tried doing in general traffic, let alone amongst many other riders.

Add those three facts together and you get me riding along in a very wobbly fashion. :) I was the source of great mirth for my fellow travellers, one of whom had to veer off into a side street because she was laughing so hard when she saw me almost tip over a man on a bike beside/in front of me who was going waaaaaaay too slow. He didn't look very happy when it happened, i can tell you, and although i speak no Danish, i'm sure a few swear words were flung my way.

That evening, we headed back to the youth hostel to meet our tour manager, cook and driver, as well as the rest of the 43 people on my tour.

But since time is running out, I'll tell you all about them and Stockholm tomorrow. :)
