York

Pretty ruins in York, the little tower was just outside the entrance of our hotel.

Had a great time with the vikings and crazy nights out at the metal club and the 80's bar Reflex. Managed to get a severe case of hat kleptomania in the 80's bar which resulted in many weird pictures. I blame the huuuge cocktail drinks!

Halden

Back after viking invasion of Norway. As the picture displays I have the helmet-of-eternal-noseguard, but it's actually quite good that way - keeps steel weapons on a good distance from my teeth. It does not help my poor arms and legs though. I still look like a dalmatian, and the huge blue mark on my upper arm could probably be displayed as modern art. Shapewise it looks a bit like Africa... it probably would be the same size as well if it wasn't limited by the size of my tiny arm.;P

Summing it up, having a training weekend with 150 fighters was really fun. Will have to do it again next year.

Because I'm tired after fun and drinks yesterday, song of the day is:

D-A-D - Sleeping My Day Away

A viking abroad

Quick visit in Copenhagen after passing by Lund. There's a continous buzzing of tattoo machines in the background, it's quite a nice sound but would probably be a bit annoying in the long run. Don't think I'd make a good tatto artist.;)

Visited some friends in the Rock n' Gold shop... tried to convince them to do paintball tomorrow but they were too busy (staying on the couch). At the moment I'm now waiting in Kunsten på Kroppen for them to finish so we can go and have a beer.

(Sunday)

Apart from me being quite lost we had a great time with pool and way too many shots. I'm quite happy we didn't get the others in on playing paintball today... a hangover day with the full season of "An idiot abroad" and dinner at Alex's was much nicer. Good friends makes a good day.;)

Paris vs Top Hat

(Notre Dame, photo from Mels phone)

Yesterday me and Mel took a look at Notre Dame during the mass and listened to weird songs. My top hat with goggles turned out to be completely out of place here - since no one is really wearing anything unusual - but it seems to cheer people up and make them talk, which is awesome (even if I don't understand most of it). We bumped into a painter who was completely taken by the weird look so we're visiting him again tonight. In the evening we had a nice night out with good company and an evil slice of pecan nut pie which refused to be eaten. Paris is a lovely city.

Right now I'm heading for the catacombs...

They turned out to be awesome.;) Completely crazy amounts of bones... built into a structure!

Unfortunately I have no pics of me and CM at the Notre Dame in the sunset (went there for the organ concert). Pink/orange towers with the moon hoovering above - very pretty!

Scotland

After two failed attempts the aircraft finally took me to Scotland (6 days later than planned).




Went to Edinburgh - found Saurons holiday home, Sexton and my body guard.



After exploring the inside of the cannon the asian guy in the background took pictures of us... maybe he wanted to display the behaviour and features of the weird Europeans when he got home.




Frost of Scotland - the new national anthem?


... and tomorrow: Paris!
