Timon is looking at me grouchily over the laptop screen as he is apparently way too trendy to have a blog. But I thought, if for nothing else, it will provide us with a comprehensive record of things we've done, people we've met and stuff we've eaten while trekking around the northern hemisphere for the next year or so.
I don't want the word 'trekking' to give the wrong impression. We are by no means roughing it, camping, hiking or cooking things on an open fire. We are in fact lazing around a stylish apartment in Copenhagen, drinking glogg and elderflower and occasionally stepping out into a beautiful winter wonderland covered in white powdery snow. We've been in Denmark for just over a week and the Christmas fetivities begin today with Julehygge, a party organised by our host, Ida, for which she has prepared soups, breads and snacks for 20 of her closest friends. I would like to say that T and I will test out our Danish language skills but they are limited to 'Tak' (thank you) and....that's about it.
We've booked our hostel in Berlin for the 28th - 2nd Jan. To get there we are facing a 7 hour bus trip from CPH leaving at 6.30am. Bleugh. Once in Berlin we are meeting up with Ross! who has been in London since January 2010. It should be one hell of a party - just me, Timon, Ross and 1 million others ringing in the New Year.
