Typical, isn’t it? Just as I’m about to go away for a much needed weekend break with my gorgeous girlfriend Hels, I catch a cold. Still, there is only one thing to do when you have a cold – yes, that’s right, try to infect as many people as possible, with bonus points for infecting people of other nationalities. Fortunately Hels is unlikely to catch it as she has already had it.
I’m really looking forward to this weekend. Any tips from people who know the city would be welcome. We’re planning to nip over to Malmo on Sunday too, as Copenhagen seems to shut down on the sabbath. If you’re very lucky, there may be photos. If you’re really lucky, you may even get a photo of Hels. If you’re unlucky, I’ll be in it too.
Hels, nice name, is it pronounced hells or helse?
Hells, rhyming with Bells. It’s short for Helen, and not a Scandinavian name as many people imagine.
It’s been a while, but I seem to remember that the Tivoli was very attractive, and there was a christmas market over in the hippie area – sorry I can’t remember many details, my head is befuddled. Also, just wandering the streets is pleasant – very colourful, very very cold. Mulled wine and ginger biscuits. Have fun.
