Copenhagen

Well well well...not sure what to say about Copenhagen...I had some high expectations of greenery, rolling hills. romancing with Frederick and Mary....and its just a disappointment really! ITs heaps expensive here...dirty...and not green at all! There are a few nice places that we have checked out but overall its certainly not a highlight and not a place we will come back too which is disappointing really! We did spent yesterday at Carlsberg Brewery which was a pretty good place and you get 2 free drinks which the boys thought was great!!! We went out of Copenhagen today and headed to a town called Roskilde and it was quite nice there - on a harbour with lots of expensive boats and was good for taking nice photos which we did! We havent really done a lot here but just walk the streets actually! Our hotel is downtown...so its a bit scary at night so we dont venture out too late haha :-) Dave and Scott did on the first night and came back scared...but thats not a story for the internet so have to save that one for later but its a laugh now!!
We are on the home stretch now...we have 4 days in Amsterdam with the guys, then Scott and I finally get to spend some romantic times together in Paris for 4 days before heading back to reality and I cant wait! Im looking forward to wearing some new clothes-sleeping in a decent bed and having a nice shower!! No kidding...its the small things that you miss!!! Even getting a TV is a luxury haha!! Its pretty hot here as well - Amsterdam where we are tomorrow is having a heat wave and its sitting around 37 degrees!
Anywayz - keep sending those emails as we enjoy reading about what is happenign at home and we will be seeing you all in 2 weeks! For those that dont know we get back on Thursday 4th August about 6 or 7am :-)

OH! I have realised I have forgotten to mention a few things - firstly in Prague Jas and I ran into Daniel Johns from Silverchair so we had our photo taken with him. And secondly...on our first night in Berlin the Love Parade was happening which is a MASSIVE event with DJs from all over and its like a mardi gras...but with a million more people and Djs around! We spent a few hours here and it was just a laughing fest for us to see so many freaks wearing out-there clothes...one chick was just wrapped in gladwrap...some old man had some sexy leather outfit on..you get the drift! So that was entertaining for us! Also in Czech we headed to the Pilsner Brewery and this alone was quite an adventure...we caught about 4 wrong trains to get there...and when we got there...it had shut! We had one of those days but it is funny now..but at the time we were all pretty peeved off!!!
So there you go...my blogs havent been all that detailed so I apologise...Im generally tired after a long day of walking when Im writing them and everyone knows how shocking my memory is that when Im doing so much its hard to think of what I did this morning let alone a few days ago!!
