UPDATE 23/10: Link fixed, sorry about that. I’ve been in Normandy for the last 2 days and I don’t think there was internet anywhere in the village. Click on “Eurotrip 2006” for the pics on the below site.

Did I mention that I love Paris?
This is quick because I have 2.5 min of net time left and its a slow moving computer. If you want to see some photos (as some of you have been requesting to drool over…) you can get a preview of Natalie’s photos up until Nice (-ish) at her photo site here. But they are not meant to be the substitue for the real thing which you will be able to feast your eyes upon in the not too distant future (I hope).
Bonsoir!
(Oh, and did I mention that this is my 200th post ever?!)

Visiting Elly!

Posted on September 24, 2006 by Gillian

Today I took an early train out to Wolfsburg where Elly lives and we are hanging out for the day. I’ve seen the town, the VW factory, the lake with wakeboarders… and, even better, seen Elly! So hi to Victoria and all of our mutual friends there.

Do Vikings go ‘Aaaarrrgh’?

Posted on September 9, 2006 by Gillian

Hah! Today we went to Roskilde which, as well as being the former capital of Denmark like 1000 years ago, is a huge Viking area. We went to the Viking museum and… best of all… got to ride in a Viking ship! We rowed it out of the harbour before setting sail. Aaargh matey!

København Pictures!

Posted on September 8, 2006 by Gillian

We’ve been here about 3 days now, and I was able to upload some pictures using Nina’s parents computer! It was quite grey on Wednesday when we went in to town, and it rained off and on. Yesterday it cleared up around lunch, so it was nice then – we got to go up King Christian’s Round Tower from which you get a great view of town (one of the King Christians, not sure which one. Pretty much every Danish king has either been Christian or Frederik) and we saw the Little Mermaid Statue. Much cooler than the girl in the wetsuit at Stanley Park.
Today, we took the train up to Helsingør where we checked out the town and Kronenborg – the castle which Shakespear used for the setting of Hamlet! That was pretty sweet. The only thing that would have made it sweeter is if there had been one of the live, on-site productions of Hamlet on when we were there. After wandering around, we decided to take the ferry over to Helsingborg, so, 20 min later, we were in Sweden! They didn’t even ask to see passports. So we wandered around there looking at some cool Medieval buildings – a tower and a Danish Gothic Church – then took the ferry back to Helsingør and trained back to Copenhagen.
Anyway, so here are those pictures. Enjoy!

The Little Mermaid

A Canal in Copenhagen

Rosenborg Castle, where the Crown Jewels are kept

View of Copenhagen from the Round Tower – the bridge to Malmo (I think) is in the background

UPDATE: for some bizzare reason, the computer doesn’t want to upload any pictures of Hamlet’s castle, so you’ll have to wait to see them.

Mt Seymour

Yesterday, Dad and I hiked up Mt. Seymour. It was a spectacular day…

I just got this picture from Jeff and Anna. It is my new favourite picture of us on the Great Wall…

Yay for photos!

These are just a few (well, a lot) of my favourite photos from my trip. There are literally 100’s more… and you can see more on my flickr, photobucket, and youtube sites. Links are below.
