We Arrived!!!



Ally, Speedy and Petina are currently sitting at Spejdercenter, Holmen (The Danish Scout/Guide Center, pronounced Spider and Holmen is the suburb an artificial island). After numerous hours traveling, multiple security checks and trying to navigate the Danish transport system we finally arrived at our destination.

Nellie and Petina managed to get some decent sleep while on the plane from Thailand to Switzerland. However Ally only managed to doze for a few hours from Singapore to Munich (there was a guy snoring behind her).

Petina managed to get stopped at each check-in point with a 'Stand over there please' type comment each time. However she did make it through each time without too much trouble.

Petina and Speedy got the opportunity to watch big trucks with really big hoses, spray the plane. They were removing the ice from the wings of the plane. They then proceeded to spray the plane with a weird green substance. It was awesome to watch.

We then got to fly over the snow caps of the Swiss Alps. OMG !! what a sight, it was simply stunning. Neither of us got photos because the seat belt sign was still turned on, but we will hope to take some photos on the way home.

As we flew in to Copenhagen we got to see the wind farm out in the ocean. This is truely a place with some forward thinking. Also confirmed by the massive amount of bicycles that can be seen everywhere. Park and Ride has taken on a whole new meaning with bikes parked outside bus and train stations.

We are almost settled in now and will head out this afternoon for some sight seeing adventures. Till next time - Nellie, Petina and Ally :)
