To get from Skellefteå to København on my round the world ticket I had to fly from Skellefteå to Stockholm with SAS, then back Helsinki in Finland – the home of Finnair – before the final last leg to land in København in Denmark. Luckily for me I scored free accomodation thanks to a friend working for IBM who had since moved to Singapore. So after calling his mates looking after the apartment in København I got in, grabbed some grub and crashed early that evening. The next day I headed out to DONG Energy for a meeting to discuss all things regarding “smart grids” and the distribution network.
With the sun remaining up till quite late I took the opportunity to head out to the docks for some photos and a bit of sight seeing before heading back to base for a home cooked meal.
The evening was spent out with my hosts at their favourite cocktail bar for the weekly Wednesday night catch up the guys have. Many a mojito was enjoyed plus a few new drinks that I definitely cannot remember, but don’t think were bad by any means. I ended up staying till closing time and having a rather enjoyable night with a few locals. Unfortunately I was due to depart the next afternoon – otherwise I would have had a couple of tour guides for a bike ride around town that Friday!
Thursday morning, the last day I had in Denmark, was spent with a mammoth hangover (all good things and all that jazz), however undettered I headed out to explore København before grabbing my gear and moving out to the airport. Like Stockholm, København is a place that I’m going to have to revisit. The blooms in spring were stunning and the place just had such an awesome feeling to it. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later!

Need I say ‘great photos’?
