Second wedding *****





Yet another wedding, and quite a funky and beautiful bunch of people I doubt the people participating resembled an average sample of the Danish population! Old traditions were celebrated, such as the men kissing the bride when the grome leaves the room and cutting off the socks of the grome. It was one of those nights you never want to end. ... I would defenitely rate it 5 stars out of five.

First wedding





The first wedding in 17 years - what better way than to witness two people (a dutch and a dane) confessing eternal love in an old British castle surrounded by people waiting on you and catering your every need... no words are needed the pictures tell the tale.

home sweet home




It really beats me how they can call it 'airport arrival service' - I mean it can't be argued that the 'airport arrival' part of the word is correct but the 'service' part is rather doubtful. Returning home from Spain my luggage was left in the bermuda triangle of travel bags, a place no airline or airport seem to know anything about. One week of imagining my bag drifting off in the stream of nameless bags never to return home finally came to an end Saturday - I felt almost 100% happy when bringing the bag home and seeing it on my door step - maybe there just is no bag bermuda triangle or maybe my bag just got away in time, but thank God it is back

surf adventures=teenage holiday







Our intentions were pure, however what was supposed to be an active vacation learning how to kite surf ended up a more a teenage holiday than any vacation I have been on the last 13 years. But can you do when the weather doesn't allow you to kite surf and you somehow forget to eat because the drinks somehow are more compelling and tastier?! I didn't think I still had it in me to sleep very little and go out every night but apparently it is not that difficult when you have fun. I still really would like to learn the art of kite surfing and in our case we only got to the point of playing with the kite not actually trying it on water but until next year I will have to dream about those long exotic nights with a steady stream of malibu-coke and warm days at the beach admiring the tricks made possible. In those dreams I will leave out the bloody acidents with people getting their ears or other body parts cut off due to the strenghts and speed of the strings when the kite falls to the ground..
