Day 5

These last few days have been fun. I went to school with Freja, but the only subject I have understood is their maths. Last night I Freja's section night, where we were getting ready for this weekends event. They are like our Rovers with most of them being over 18, they are just heaps more fun to be around.
So when we get up in the morning, to walk tothe the bus it is still dark, it doesn't get light until around 7:30 and is dark around 4pm.
This morning was different though, it was still dark, but there was ice on the glass, metal and some on the roads and footpaths which were then covered in salt. Me being as smart as I am, I got my fingers stuck when I grabbed a metal pole with a wet hand.
After school we headed home for dinner and to make Christmas decorations.
We decorated around a candle that will be lit everyday in December before Christmas.
I got a photo of mine below.

It has begun.

So, we arrived on Monday at 12:20 pm all getting our first taste of the Danish cold when we stepped out of the plane. We zoomed through customs to meet our host families after baggage pick up.

For me it was straight to school so Freja (my host sister) could do some experiments for an assignment.
After we headed to the shops and then home where we had dinner then headed to help out at the beaver section which is like our Joeys. They did some games then I would start counting in English and they would follow along as far as they could. I also said some animal names and they would try to translate to Freja since I had no idea if they we right.

The photos below are the seat back TV screen when we landed and  some of us at Copenhagen airport.

Flight Day


The day is now here, it is not long now until we fly out. First up for the day we had a family photo shoot at 9:30. Then back home to say good by to the cousins and grandparents. Next stop, the shops for some last minute items, and to get some Danish Krone. A repack of my backpack, before heading to the airport at 4 to meet up with the other Qld venturers. They were hard to miss. Then the checking  process began. We made through check in fast after finding out Jacks flight from up North would be delayed. At 8pm Jack made it to us,so we had to race through security and customs to make it to the flight 15 minutes before take off. We are now safely on board with everyone here.
