The trip so fair (Saturday to Sunday)

It was an early start on Saturday morning. 5am. The flight to lubeck was grand, snoozed a bit and we arrived 20minutes early – which is always good. Mr Limerick (his real name shall be kept a secret to protect the identity of the real person) said we should go to Copenhagen. We booked our train ticket to Copenhagen for the afternoon so we dumped the bags and looked around lubeck. Its nice place, I must return to visit. So the train trip was 4hrs 30 minutes, but time flew (playing poker, going for a walk around the ferry – yupe the train rolls onto a ferry and rolls off again, working on slides for gandalf and the WAR workshop). So we got into Copenhagen. No accommodation could be found (we had nothing booked). Mr Limerick and I walked for ages to find a place. There was nothing in the centre – we eventually found one 10miles outside the centre – it cost a fortune and looked like an ikea store!!

Sunday: had a stroll around Copenhagen. Mr Limerick wanted to see the little mermaid, so the stroll lasted for 4 hours or so. We had booked a train to Aalborg on Saturday for the afternoon so we got a chance to catch the match (Liverpool v Man utd), disappointing game. The train to Aalborg took over 5 hours. It gave me time to type up stuff, look over slides, read deliverables, play & win a poker tournament, and get some sleep.. got into aalborg at 9ish. One funny thing about aalborg/denmark is that the restaurants all close at 10. We eventually found a place open – so we ordered a big meal and big bottle of wine… Monday brings the meeting.
