Single use plastics are used for everything nowadays and have grown on society as something so convenient and taken for granted. We all know they are practical and being the couch potatoes that most of us are we fell in love with how easy "disposable" feels like. Worse, we have become slaves to a pathological consumption world and often forget that "the best things in life aren't things" and for what? was is that void we are trying to fill? everything we need to be happy is already inside us. What bothers me the most is how people fail to understand that it is <b>not our right</b> to live on Earth but it is our <b>PRIVILEGE. </b>As such, we should live with the most respect and compassion for other beings and the planet in a balanced lifestyle. Disposable plastics are overwhelming our planet, causing some serious damage on ecosystems, particularly when it comes to marine life. As nice as beach clean ups sound it doesn't really present as a solution if we just keep using and discarding them again.. So you see, we must act <b>NOW</b> and solve the problem at it's root. Try to think how you can change your own consumption ways, these are some of the tips I use myself to cut off or avoid plastic</div>

<span style="color: #990000;"><b><br />1. Menstrual cups & reusable pads</b></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Menstrual cups are one of the best things to have happened to me!! I made the change around four years ago and have never felt better about being on my period. It is estimated that a woman will use around 8 to 17 000 disposable pads or tampons in a lifetime and some of the plastics used in them can take up to 500 years to decompose.. Let us remind ourselves that this issue basically concerns half the human population and therefore the impact is very significant.</div>

I use the <a href="http://www.meluna.pt/melunaweb/index.php" target="_blank">MeLuna </a>cup which I <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">LOVE</span></b> and seriously recommend because they are made in TPE (hypoallergenic material); come in several shapes, sizes, models to suit every body type, age etc. and aren't tested on animals, yay!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We use toothbrushes on a daily basis and switch them out every three months or so, the most common is to buy a plastic one from a supermarket or pharmacy but there are plastic free options! I started my bamboo toothbrush journey last year and have been using <a href="https://thebamandboo.com/" target="_blank">Bam & Boo</a> and <a href="http://www.babueco.com/" target="_blank">Babu</a> brands and I love both. As for toothpaste I have been using Georganics natural toothpastes (charcoal & spearmint).</div>

<span style="color: #990000;">3. Solid shampoo and other unpackaged goods</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Why are soaps, shampoos and lotions enclosed in unnecessary plastic? usually for publicity and marketing purposes, which is really annoying.. Also some exfoliating products contain plastic microbeads which is a big NO. </span></div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">I absolutely love stores like Lush, its like walking into a fluffy rainbow dream of color and perfumes. One of my personal favourite products is the solid shampoo Seanick. One thing I really want to try as well is doing some DIY for soaps, shampoos, deodorant, toothpaste and lotions.</span><br />

4. Shop at local markets</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love going to local farmers markets because you usually find the real "bio/eco" products. Lettuce with some snails? carrots with tops and dirt? unpackaged free vegetables and fruits? yes please!<br />
This is not always easy to find in the big cities.. When I was studying in Faro (Algarve, Portugal) I used to buy weekly fruit and vegetable baskets from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dasuahorta/" style="font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Da Sua Horta</a>. In the past few months I was living in Roscoff, a very small town in Brittany (France) and I went every Wednesday morning to the local farmers market in Roscoff and every once in a while to the Saturday market in Morlaix, it was my vegetable heaven.<br />

5. Reusable things</span></h4>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glass jars or containers for pantry storage, drinking bottles in glass or stainless steel, bee wrap for sandwich wraps. While living in France I noticed that they take very seriously cutting down plastic, you rarely see plastic bags in supermarkets, stores or local shops. Almost everything goes in paper bags, which is amazing. Try to choose paper bags or bring your own reusable bags to stores, you can even get a vintage or trendy tote bag! </div>

6. Refuse straws</span></h4>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Did you know that plastic straws take around 200 years to decompose??</div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">There are of course exceptions, but for most of us straws are really just not essential at all. I know they look nice in juices and cocktails but luckily they make reusable straws now! So unless for some medical reason or disability you need a straw (which I completely understand) go straw free :D</span></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">In Portugal a group of girls founded this movement: <a href="https://movimentoclaro.org/" target="_blank">Claro Cascais</a> that is fighting plastic in Oceans!</span></div>

7. Clothes, clothes clothes!</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Quality clothes vs cheap clothes| </b>The problem with synthetic cheap clothes is that they contain microplastic fibers (also questionable man/child labour situations!!). Microplastic fibers get washed into wastewaters (currently they aren't removed from wastewater treatment plants), end up in the ocean and enter the food chain.<br />

I personally still struggle with this one since I'm young and juggling finances. I am not at all a shopaholic and don't care too much about fashion but I still enjoy a little shopping for myself. I am starting to avoid cheap clothes with synthetic fibers and investing in more local craft or brands that produce sustainable clothing.<b><br />Donate & use second hand</b>| Passing down your clothes to younger siblings, family, close friends or to people in need is a great way to reuse clothing! One of the advantages I have found of always being the smallest is that a lot of my friends have given me clothes that don't fit them anymore over the years. This statement is still true at 25 years old, I know right, so weird but I love it!! Every time it happens it's like a mini shopping spree. Vintage shopping is quite trendy, I have seen some amazing markets and stores for this in London, and also vintage kilo sales and trade markets in Copenhagen.<br />

<h4>
<span style="color: #990000;">8. Presents</span></h4>
Why buy that lovely wrapping paper for 5 seconds of ripping lust? <br />
I like improvising wrapping gifts with fabric, ribbons, and totem or paper bags and I usually reuse the wrapping paper that I get in presents for somebody else.<br />
<br />
Offer more meaningful gifts something useful, lasting, of good quality, an experience or maybe something symbolic. Children don't need a million plastic trinket toys that they loose interest in weeks and end up loosing at the beach or the park. Give them something that defies their mind and creativity: puzzles, books, wooden toys, science kit, arts & crafts, sewing kits, camping gear, sports stuff!! If you give your kids less but more quality things you have the chance to teach them to value, appreciate and take care of their things and at the same time the planet.<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: small;"></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
There are so many possible ways to walk and enjoy beautiful Copenhagen. On Sunday mornings I always had a lift to St Alban's Church and Gefionspringvandet, which is close to the little mermaid and so I started there and have come up with some walking suggestions. I made this very outdoorsy but i'll write a post on rainy days and museums later.</div>
<h3>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: small;">1. The Little Mermaid selfie</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you're lame like me, you want a selfie with the iconic Little Mermaid statue from Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale. You might need to wait your turn it's usually crowded. If you just want to see it quickly, know that the netto boat tours usually pass right by it. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Walk along the canal or Amaliegade to Amalienborg square. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In alternative, you can take </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">a ferry bus boat</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">to Cristiania </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">at</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> the Nordre Toldbod (Københavns Havn).</span><br />

I've written about Nyhavn before <a href="https://detskovfryd.blogspot.pt/2017/08/nyhavn.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It is a very colourful tourist classic spot in central Copenhagen. Closeby is kongens Nytorv and Charlottenborg Slot.<br />

I suggest that you take the Netto guided boats tours in the canal (1h = 40dkk) it's really fun because you get another perspective of the city and learn something from the guides.</div>
<br />
It goes something like this: <br />
Nyhavn to Little Mermaid, round Christiania, under the Trangravsbroen bridge, pass the Vor Frelsers Kirke, under the Cirkelbroen bridge christianshavn canal, det Kongelige Bibliotek (if its sunny you'll see it shine hence the name "Black Diamond"), into the canals again pass Christian IV's Bryghus, Christiansborg Slot, Holmens Kirke, Břrsen, Christian IV, gamle børssal and under all these bridges: Prinsens Bro, Marmorbroen, Stormbroen, Højbro, Holmens Bro and Børsbroen.<br />

Guess what Denmark has trampolines in the middle of the street - it's so cool! Be a kid again and bounce that everyday stress off. This set of trampolines is in Havnepromenade in front of Café Malmo (35). Another place I saw trampolines in the street was around Kronborg castle.</div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: small;">6. Cross the Inderhavnsbroen bridge</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">This bridge is very modern and cool. Whenever tall boats need to cross it slides open like a butterfly.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: small;">7. Papirøen</span></h3>
The Paper Island is the Copenhagen Street Food and it used to be a navy warehouse but it closed December 2017. Leave a wish at the Copenhagen Art Center tree of wishes (probably it's not there anymore).<br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: small;">7. Christiania</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Stroll around within the main streets and respect people's privacy. You can admire the cool artwork</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span>but you aren't allowed to take pictures.<br />

At night there is a light and </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">water show be sure to </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">check for other activities in the website.

On my last weekend in Denmark (June 2017) we had a girls day out and set north to Helsingør and after crossed the ferry to Sweden. The gardens of Sofiero Slott were fully bloomed and a spectacular view. Many shapes, colours, some vibrant, some soft and oh the perfumes! It was a wonderful photography day for a macro lover: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96866722@N03/albums/72157681727758462/with/34968288351/">Blomster Flickr</a>, and as for us girls we had a blast with photoshoot session. I was sporting some braids and my Totoro backpack because I'll Never Grow Up!</div>

My little fluff ball is strikingly handsome and has now done two modelling jobs, for Voke Swimwear and for <a href="http://www.jumbomoda.pt/os-reis-do-carnaval/" target="_blank">Jumbo Moda</a>. He loves to explore on set and is obviously bribed to stay in place so you don't have to be concerned, he is extremely well cared for.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love discovering life in tidal pools, i've done it ever since I was little. It's the vibrant colours of seaweed, the smell of sea breeze and excitement of what i'll find hiding underneath rocks, sand and anemones: <span style="text-align: start;">cheeky hermit crabs, baby shrimp and fish</span>. I'm a shell and sand collector and sometimes I keep other ocean treasures, nowadays I mostly just do it digitally.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I booked the <a href="http://www.sulaboattrips.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sula II Boat Trip</a> to Bass Rock (15£) online (probably best so that you guarantee a spot). It's a beautiful sail boat and the owners are so nice they even lent me a pair of binoculars! The boat ride was shaky because it was a windy day and the waves were picking up. I saw a few Puffins, OH MY GOD the cutest birds I have ever seen with their little feet spread open, but also <span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16px;">Guillemots, Cormorants and Shags.</span> Closer to the Bass Rock it gets very load with bird calls and a very strong smell of guano and of course Gannets, Gannets everywhere! this is what makes it look like a white iceberg from a far. It's Britain’s largest single island colony of the North Atlantic Gannet which returns every year to breed and lay a single egg.<br />

Last year I had an Erasmus experience, and although it wasn't my first time leaving "home" it was my first time living out of my home country. It was extremely exciting but I also remember feeling a little bit anxious. I have always been fairly independent, thank you parents for not being overprotective 🙏. Truth be said, kids are better off when they are left to fend for themselves, through first hand experience they will learn how to face challenges and solve them in their own way.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Take it easy, give yourself time to explore these new and foreign lands. Locate the closest supermarket, walking route or public transportation to your study/workplace. Figure out all the bureaucracies you need to take care of. At first you may feel lost, alone and even homesick, both mentally and physically (why intestines..?!) this is completely natural, you are adjusting to a new life and you don't know anyone yet.<br />

<br />
Make yourself get out of your comfort zone shell and <b><span style="color: #990000;">do things</span></b>. Time flies so don't just sit around and wait for life to happen, so lame but so true. It doesn't matter if it's a crazy night out, volunteer groups or a knitting club, as long as you are doing what makes you happy and meet new people along the way. If they share your interests and hobbies it's a plus. Sometimes we forget the basics of human interactions: a big smile and a "hello!" should start it off. While you're off discovering the world why not start a blog or journal to track these new adventures? and remember to explore not just as a tourist but as a local, there is a big difference. Home will always be home but if you open your heart and mind to it you will find that home can be anywhere in the world and it is so worth it!<br />

I love photography and recently made a photo album book with some of my favourite pictures from this past year. I am in LOVE with how it came out, the quality of the printing is EXCELLENT! Thank you so much Saal Digital for the opportunity! With the digital era everyone takes so many more photographs but rarely does anything with them. I love looking back on memories from old photo albums before everything was archived away in drives and many times forgotten or lost. I also think it makes a really nice gift idea.<br />
<br />
Main points from my experience:<br />
I personally chose a 19 x 19 album with 28 pages (I added 53 photographs).</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Making the album</b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - They have a software for editing your personalised album with many design possibilities. I found it super easy to work with and having the option of automated layouts is a huge advantage for me because i’m not much of a designer/editor person. You add the number of photographs per page you wish, so full pages or make collages. You can choose to add background colours, text, frames (i believe) i kept mine pretty simple because I wanted it more as a portfolio style.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Customer service</b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - I personally didn't need to contact them but they were 5* in the emails following my order, providing every information necessary and being very attentive.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Quality</b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - I chose the mate photographic paper and the photographs came out excellent - the paper is thick and the colours/printing were perfect.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Esta é a minha opinião honesta sobre um produto da <b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="http://www.saal-digital.pt/" target="_blank">Saal Digital</a></span></b> (empresa de produtos fotográficos) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Adoro fotografia e recentemente fiz um álbum fotográfico com alguns dos meus momentos favoritos deste ano. <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">ADOREI</span></b> o resultado final, a qualidade da impressão é EXCELENTE! Muito obrigada à <b>Saal Digital</b> pela oportunidade! Com a era digital, todos tiramos mais fotografias mas é raro fazermos alguma coisa com elas. Gosto muito de reviver memórias em álbuns como antigamente antes de tudo ser arquivado no disco rigido, muitas vezes esquecido ou perdido. Também acho que um album deste género dá um presente mesmo giro. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Desenhar o álbum</b> - Eles têm um software para editar o álbum personalizado com imensas opções de design. Eu achei o programa acessível e fácil de trabalhar. Gostei do facto de haver layouts predefinidos, uma grande vantagem para mim porque não tenho skills de design/edição. Pode-se adicionar o número de fotografias por página que se quiser, desde páginas completas a colagens/montagens. Dá para adicionar cores de fundo, texto, molduras (acho eu), eu mantive o meu mais para o simples porque queria estilo de portfólio.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Atendimento ao cliente</b> - Não precisei de entrar em contacto com este serviço mas foram 5* nos e-mails após a encomenda, deram todas as informações necessárias e foram disponíveis.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Qualidade </b>- Escolhi papel fotográfico mate e as fotografias saíram excelentes. O papel é grosso e as cores / impressão ficaram impecáveis. Parece um livro!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Custos</b> - O meu álbum foi 26,15 € | O envio para Portugal foi 4,95 € (empresa Alemã). Contudo, a <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Saal Digital ofereceu-me este álbum.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Envio</b> - Muito rápido o album foi produzido no dia seguinte à encomenda e demorou 7 dias úteis a chegar. Dá para acompanhar a encomenda online, alterar a morada, factura, etc. O álbum vinha bem aconchegado em espuma protetora.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I didn't exactly plan a specific country for my Erasmus. I knew I wanted to do my master thesis abroad and I knew that I wanted to study seaweed because I love algae. I began to contact researchers that were working in that field and one of the positive replies was from DTU, so in a way I feel that Denmark chose me. Sometimes it seems that life points you to certain places and times exactly as if it was meant to be.</span></div>

It was an exiting time for me, a lot of new experiences, different weather, food, schedules and culture. I am so lucky to have had a family and a place I could actually feel like home. I stayed in a beautiful yellow house by the Jægersborg Dyrehave, which I like to call the enchanted forest. The garden was visited by spiders, newts, squirrels, and cheeky birds, including our dearest "Frederik" aka Fred the woodpecker. I enjoy naming animals for fun and since finding out that Fred means peace in Danish it was a popular one for me. Sometimes the garden lights would turn on during the night and wake me up because of sneaky cats and foxes prowling, I always liked to think it was a fox but I never actually saw any. As a nature lover and biologist all these encounters were of course a delight for me! </span></div>

I love going on trains because of the scenery you are able to watch: yellow flowered fields, lochs, forests and hills. I found Oban to be a really beautiful, quiet and peaceful town. I finally tried the famous Scottish Irn Bru and really sorry to offend but whyyy do you drink an orange super sugary, fizzy, medicine tasting thing..?! As for food I went local and obviously ended up eating quite a lot of chippies and seafood, The Green Shak was really nice. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about seaweed, currently my main research interest. Here are some of the things and places I discovered during that lovely week.</span><br />

Out of the ten days I spent in Scotland, only two were rainy, <i>tapadh leibh</i> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(thank you in Gaelic)</span> sunny blue skies! I loved this trip: getting to visit my childhood best friend Kiki, the beautiful Scottish landscapes, the medieval feel and immense stories of Edinburgh old and new town, the people and the accent! I really advise taking a free walking tour specially if you're travelling solo. I loved mine, my guide was an enthusiastic Scott with lots of stories to tell: Deacon Brodie locksmith by day, burglar by night; the first "anti burglar" system/alarms; the heart of Midlothian; the tale of Greyfriars Bobby, where JK Rowling got some of the Harry Potter names from.. and lots more. I also did the Edi underground historic tour at <span style="text-align: start;">Mary King's Close, it was extremely cool.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">We hiked through Holyrood Park towards the cliffs of Arthurs Seat, it's a beautiful walk plus super cool in terms of geology. It was spring at the time and the green hills were covered in meadows of yellow blooming flowers. It was a pretty hot day, but way up there the winds were blowing strongly. There are many paths to climb but we were feeling rather challenged and took the steepest and hardest one up. We reached the top, with its reddish sandstone, and had crows circling above us. There it was, the vast blue sea to the east, far away you could see the forth bridges too.</span></div>

Bobby belonged to a nightwatchman named John Gray and the pair were inseparable. After his owner passed away he spent 14 years by his grave in Greyfriars kirkyard. When Bobby passed away he was also buried in Greyfriars grounds. Sometimes people still leave sticks on his grave. A statue of this loyal pupper was put up and everyone rubs his nose for good luck making it shiny over the years. </div>

When arriving at the airport, before you head on to Tórshavn or wherever, why not first explore Vagár Island. To the east lies the largest lake in the Islands, Sørvágsvatn, falling into the Atlantic ocean through a waterfall, Bøsdalafossur. To the west a nice little town called Sórvagur with a beach. The weather in the Faroe's is very unpredictable and you can expect four seasons in one day. It was extremely foggy when I first arrived and a rainbow emerged from the mist.</div>

I walked to the beach at Sórvagur, the island is filled with green mosses that find themselves covered in dewdrops many times. On the dark volcanic sand lay giant razor shells, long sponges and whelk eggs, treasures brought by the ocean. Spring time has just begun and the seabirds gather in couples, sing and chase each other in flight.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One morning, I went out hiking in the kaldbak mountains, keeping me company were the lovely Faroese sheep, that range freely everywhere. Mountains, meadows, cliffs and even eating seaweed on the beach. The rule is to fence the house and land from the sheep instead of the other way around.</div>

On top of a hill rests a traditional house with a grass rooftop. They look so cosy and rustic they could be pulled out of a storybook. They absorve the many rainfalls and give a really good thermal insulation.<br />

I lasted about half an hour with wet suit, head piece, socks and gloves. The underwater world is beautiful and colourful, shades of yellow brownish, green and red everywhere I looked. I was too cold for explorer mode and finding interesting biodiversity, but I did come across this cute pink starfish, and yes I do look like a chubby seal.<br />

Tórshavn, or Thor's harbour, from the viking age norse mythology, is the capital of the Faroe Islands. It is a very colourful town and is probably the busiest place in the islands.

As isolated as they are, the Faroese are highly dependent on resources they obtain from around their environment: hares, sheep, birds, whales, fish.. Some of the techniques used by the first settlers for storing food live on until today. Around Tórshavn you can find suspended fish being air dried, this is a normal sight and is a part of the fermentation process, it is called <span style="text-align: center;">Ræstur fiskur.</span></div>

A little bit North of Tórshavn I came across the village Hvítanes, a nice, quiet and quaint spot. It was very windy that day. I walked towards the ocean passing by quacking geese that proceeded in a line, they weren't too happy about my intrusion.

Most of the sheep in the Faroe's were either afraid of me or didn't really care, except for Liam's sheep. He must have mistaken me for somebody he knew, or was very curious, because way up from the hill top he glanced at me and decided to approach me, bleating all the way. He was very friendly and let me pet his nose but was disappointed that I had no food for him. His sudden interest made the remaining flock sheep curious, but they all kept their safety distance.</div>

Nas ilhas Faroe existe natureza agreste lindíssima. Verdes, amarelos e tons escuros envolvidos no infinito atlântico. As montanhas chegam às nuvens com os seus cumes cobertos de neve.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vagár |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ao chegar no aeroporto, antes de se dirigirem a Tórshavn, por que não explorar primeiro a ilha de Vagár. Para leste encontra-se o maior lago nas Ilhas, Sørvágsvatn, caindo no oceano Atlântico através de uma cascata, Bøsdalafossur. A oeste uma pequena vila chamada Sórvagur com uma praia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O clima em Faroe é muito imprevisível e você pode esperar quatro estações em um dia. Foi muito nebuloso quando eu cheguei e um arco-íris surgiu da névoa. Caminhei até à praia em Sórvagur, a ilha tem muitas vezes musgos verdes vestidos de orvalho.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Uma manhã fui fazer uma caminhada nas montanhas de Kaldbak, ar puro fresco na companhia das ovelhas. Corajosas, estão em todo o lado da ilha, a regra é pôr a vedação à volta das casas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Na areia vulcânica escura, estão navalheiras gigantes, esponjas longas e ovos de búzios, tesouros trazidos pelo oceano. A primavera acaba de chegar e as aves marinhas vão namorando, cantam e brincam em vôo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Funningsfijourd |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Passei doze horas num barco no meio de um fiorde, num dia de sol. Conseguia ver o Slættaratindur, a montanha mais alta das ilhas, coberta de neve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Há florestas de algas debaixo de água, kelps gigantes que dançam com as correntes, Laminaria digitata, Sacharina latissima e Alaria esculenta. As algas são habitadas por peixes, poliquetas e pequenos crustáceos, caranguejos e camarões - é mesmo uma floresta tropical oceânica.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kaldbak |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Uma manhã, fiz uma caminhada pelas montanhas em kaldbak na companhia das queridas ovelhinhas Faroesas que andam livremente por onde querem. Montanhas, prados, penhascos e até mesmo a comer algas na praia. A regra é vedar a casa e os terrenos, em vez de vedar as ovelhas, eheh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No topo de uma colina, descansa uma casinha de telhado verde. São mesmo queridas e rústicas, parecem saídas de um conto. Elas absorvem as chuvadas e dão um excelente isolamento térmico.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Snorkeling nas florestas de algas |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nadei nas águas geladas do Atlântico, rodeada de extensas florestas de algas que se emaranhavam nas minhas barbatanas. Aguentei cerca de meia hora com fato húmido, capuz, meias e luvas. O mundo subaquático é muito bonito e colorido, tons de castanho amarelado, verde e vermelho para onde quer que olhasse. Estava com demasiado frio para me aventurar e encontrar biodiversidade interessante, mas por acaso encontrei esta estrela do mar cor-de-rosa amorosa, e sim eu sei que pareço uma foca gordinha.</div>

Kirkjubøur |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Esta é uma das aldeias mais antigas das ilhas, e, como tal, vem com muitas histórias. A catedral Magnus vem da época medieval e há uma família que vive há 17 gerações na quinta kirkjubø.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tórshavn |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tórshavn, ou o porto de Thor, da mitologia nórdica e era viking, é a capital das ilhas Faroé. É uma cidade muito colorida e provavelmente é o lugar mais movimentado nas ilhas. O parlamento está instalado na parte antiga da cidade, as Tinganes, casas vermelhas de madeira com janelas brancas e telhados de relva.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Por estarem tão isolados, os Faroeses são muito dependentes dos recursos que obtêm à sua volta: lebres, ovelhas, aves, baleias, peixes ... Algumas das técnicas utilizadas pelos primeiros colonos para preservar os alimentos chegaram aos dias de hoje. Em Tórshavn é comum encontrar peixes pendurados a secar ao ar livre, faz parte do processo de fermentação, e chama-se Ræstur fiskur.</div>

Hvítanes |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Um pouco a norte de Tórshavn, está a aldeia Hvítanes, serena e pitoresca. Estava imenso vento naquele dia. Caminhei em direção ao oceano, passando por gansos resmungões que seguiram em fila indiana, não estavam nada contentes com a minha intrusão. Os habitantes tinham os seus carros, mas também os seus barcos, estacionados ao lado da água.</div>

Fui recebida com ronrons e festinhad do gato mais fofinho de sempre, ele fazia-me lembrar o Fígaro do Pinóquio, com botinhas brancas e casaco preto. Ele lá se sentou-se nos degraus da sua varanda.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A maioria das ovelhas eram medrosas ou não me ligavam nenhuma, com exceção da ovelha do Liam. Ele deve ter me confundido com alguém que conhecia, ou então era muito curioso, porque viu-me do cimo de uma colina e decidiu aproximar-se, balindo todo o caminho. Ele era muito querido e deixou-me dar festinhas no seu nariz, mas ficou desiludido por não ter comida. O seu interesse súbito despertou a curiosidade do resto do rebanho, mas todos mantiveram uma distância de segurança.</div>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">The language</span></li>
</ul>
</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Over the summer, before I even got to Denmark, I obsessed with learning the language. I used <a href="https://en.duolingo.com/" target="_blank">Duolingo</a>, only the greatest app ever and it's completely free. It was so much fun, most of the vocabulary I retained was of numbers (<i>en, to, tre, fire, fem, seks, syv, otte, ni, ti.</i>.!), <i>dyr</i> (animals), <i>mad</i> (food) and then, small sentences or key words.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Hej</b> (hello)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Hej hej</b> (good bye)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Jeg elsker dig</b> (I love you)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Fred</b> (peace)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Velbekomme</b> (well you will become - like good appetite say before a meal)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Tak for</b> ___ (thank you for) - It is always polite to thank someone for whatever they are giving you like mad (food) or kage (cake)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Jeg snakker ikke dansk.. Jeg taler en smule!</b> (I dont speak danish.. i speak a little bit!)</span></div>
<h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">Kor (choir)</span></li>
</ul>
</h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love to sing so I was very excited to join the university choir! At my first rehearsal, they had a name tag for me. Peter, the maestro, hugs everyone and cheers for new members, it was a very warm welcome. I made so many friends and it made my Erasmus experience extra special. In danish we sang: <i>For Evigt</i>, many danish christmas carols (<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Nu tændes tusind julelys, på loftet sidder nissen</i>..), <i>Jeg Tænder på dig</i> and even <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.24px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Grøn Er Vårens Hæk</i></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.24px;"> </span>for the crown prince at the anual DTU ball.</span><br />

</ul>
</h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had danish <b>oats for breakfast </b>'the bears porridge'. I'm not usually a big fan of oats, but I really enjoyed their variety. I had them with almond, soy or rice milk and then added honey, raisins, berries or cacao. It was the perfect breakfast, specially during those long winter months.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I joined the <b>salad club</b> at my research group, and there was also a bread and cake club. I think it's fantastic that they have all this to promote socialisation between peers and contributing to a positive work environment. About salad, danish people eat EVERYTHING raw: raw peppers, raw cauliflower, raw mushrooms...! </span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had the traditional <b>smørrebrød (</b>danish open sandwiches) with the classic rye bread and butter, smoked samon and the special mustard; and the one with rosbeef and remoulade. It is very common for danes to eat a light meal at lunch, such as smørrebrød, they have it with boiled egg, tomato, avocado, cucumber and canned mackerel. I also tried their fiskerfillet with remoulade sauce and a bunch of other danish foods at conferences and university events.</span></div>

One thing I love about danes is their constant celebration of anything: birthdays, reaching a goal, overcoming obstacles, promotions, goodbye parties... and anything happy really. It's a joy and always cause for someone to bring in a cake or bread to share with everyone. Bread is shared with all of the choices, butter, cheese, jam, chocolate spread and the yummiest: <b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">p</span></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>ålægschokolade </b>from Galle & Jessen, they are</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></span>chocolate sheets.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I cycled to and from work, and around the area where I lived. The busy streets of Copenhagen can be scary, far, and uphill to cycle back where I lived. But mostly, I'm a scaredy cat!

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Danish people make plans calendar wise as weeks of the year ("uge") something you would never do in Portugal. It puts a different perspective on time, a full year has 52 weeks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Between travelling, choir concerts, going on tours, hanging out at Bastard café with my friends and volunteering at CPH volunteers, I had my hands full. Danish people always need an early heads up because they have extremely busy schedules.</span></div>

I myself dressed up as an itsy bitsy edderkop. I painted some spider webs with my eyeliner, made the bun with a hair doughnut, added goggly eyes and four long fuzzy wires that were pinned on each side to make the eight little paws. I bought everything from Tiger and had the inspiration from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTlGb_Z1i9c&t=198s" target="_blank">Sweethearts Hair</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Almost nobody carries around money in Denmark and it's really hard to find an atm.

The app is </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">basically linked to your card and is the easiest way to pay off friends and small businesses.

Nyhavn ("new port") is a beautiful place in the heart of Copenhagen. The northern side has brightly painted townhouses, cafes and restaurants, and many times the colourful sight contrasts with the gloomy weather. This is a tourist classic location, whether to have drinks, take selfies or stroll alongside the water. There are sailboats parked on each side of the dock. I went on at least three <a href="http://havnerundfart.dk/" target="_blank">Nettobådene</a> canal tours it is the perfect plan on a sunny day. They have regular outings and some very funny guides, the tours last one hour and cost 40 dkk (adults) pretty cheap for Danish standards.</div>

Nyhavn ("novo porto") é um sítio lindo no coração de Copenhaga. O lado norte tem casas, cafés e restaurantes pintados com cores vivas. Muitas vezes esta visão colorida contrasta com o clima cinzento. Este é um spot clássico de turistas, seja para beber uns copos, tirar selfies ou passear ao lado da água. Há barcos à vela estacionados em cada lado da doca. Andei em pelo menos três passeios de canal nos barquinhos Nettobådene, é o plano perfeito em dias de sol. Eles têm passeios regulares que duram uma hora e custam 40 dkk (adultos) mesmo barato para os padrões dinamarqueses, os guias têm piada.</div>

I like Berlin, it is a very big city with lots to do and see. I have been so lucky to visit twice, in Winter (January) and Spring (April), both short trips. One of my best friends for the past nine years, my <b><span style="color: purple;">Little Potato Pipa</span></b> is doing her master thesis there. She is a biologist just like me and is studying probiotics and cool bacteria in fish to make aquaculture better and ultimately save the world.</div>

Public transportation |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are very efficient, and with a ticket you can use trams, u-bahs, s-bahns and buses. Consider a day ticket if you are doing more than 3 travels in a day, starting in the morning and ending at night, just because it really is a big city, (a single ticket can be used for 2 hours with transfers).</div>

Flixbus |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I traveled from Berlin back to Copenhagen with Flixbus on a direct route (7h20). It cost me 19,90€ including the ferry boat ride that takes 2h. The buses are super comfortable and have everything you need (wc, electricity plugs, wifi, movies), drivers are always extremely nice and attentive and the roadtrip goes through some very lovely country sites. I love and recommend Flixbus!</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Mormors (Granny's) is the sweetest little coffee shop, with a cosy atmosphere, delicious danish pastries and sandwiches. It is very close to the Amalienborg royal residence, at </span><span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.87);">Bredgade 45</span><span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.87);">. </span>The decoration style is the best: floral wallpapers, vintage objects and bibelots, from dollies to tins, tea sets, porcelain figurines.. oh yes.. and ever so weirdly naked dolls literally hanged from the ceiling. The <a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/aarhof/playlist/746cWZLf4X5j2wYF133xFn" target="_blank">music</a> playing is danish and cheerful and they add little danish flags to your <i>kage</i>. The tableware is old fashioned and granny like and you can sit down at a table, couch or at the counter. It is a mix of kitsch and cute and I love it!</span></div>

Bastard Café is one of my favourite hang out places in Copenhagen (Rådhusstræde 13). It is a giant library of wonderful boardgames where you can relax with your friends while drinking a nice hot cocoa or eating fries. There is plenty of space but it is always full, so better get there early and look out for those seats. My personal favourite games are Dixit and Carcassonne; others I recommend are Sushi Go, Secret Hitler, Bohnanza, Red7, Spy, and of course Cards Against Humanity which is always fun in a large group. There is a wide selection of free games but you can also pay to play the others or support the cafe with a membership. And if you don't know what or how to play a Guru game master will give you a hand.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
They make an amazing hot chocolate (40dkk), you can choose the kind of chocolate (dark, milk, white); soy milk (+5dkk), and they top it off with whipped cream, marshmallows and chocolate pop rocks 😍 they even make it with lakrids (and other options i can't remember).</div>

Studenterhuset is a volunteer based café in the center of Copenhagen Købmagergade 52. Sometimes it can be calm and quiet, perfect for studying, there are rooms on the first floor tu use for meetings, study groups, reading.. but they also have a lot of events planned out (very danish of them 😀) specially during weekends when it tends to get busier. They organize concerts, sunday flea markets, themed movie nights with free popcorn, and free tours. It's a very friendly and chill place and cheap for Danish standards.<br />
<br />
<br />
O <b>Mormors</b> (d'Avó) é um café muito querido, tem uma atmosfera acolhedora, deliciosos bolos e sandes. Fica muito perto da residência real de Amalienborg, em Bredgade 45. O estilo de decoração é mesmo giro: papel de parede floral, objetos antigos: bonecos e latas, bibelots, louças, figurinhas de porcelana ... ah sim... e bonecas nuas literalmente enforcadas a cair do teto! A música que se ouve é dinamarquesa e alegre, e eles adicionam pequenas bandeiras dinamarquesas nos bolos. Os serviços de mesa são antiquados e mesmo de avózinha, podemos sentar-nos à mesas, nos sofás ou ao balcão. É uma mistura de kitsch e amoroso e eu adoro!<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">O <b>Bastard Café</b> é um dos meus lugares favoritos para sair em Copenhaga (Rådhusstræde 13). É uma biblioteca de </span><span style="color: #274e13;">maravilhosos </span><span style="color: #274e13;">jogos de tabuleiro </span><span style="color: #274e13;">gigante,</span><span style="color: #274e13;"> onde se pode relaxar com os amigos ao sabor de um bom cacau quente ou comendo batatas fritas. Há bastante espaço, mas está sempre cheio, então é mesmo melhor chegar cedo e andar à pesca de lugares. Os meus jogos favoritos são o Dixit e o Carcassonne; Outros que recomendo são Sushi Go, Hitler secreto, Bohnanza, Red7, Spy e, claro, Cards Against Humanity, que é sempre divertido num grupo </span><span style="color: #274e13;">grande</span><span style="color: #274e13;">. Existe uma grande variedade de jogos gratuitos, mas também se pode pagar para jogar os outros ou apoiar o café com uma cota mensal. E quando não se sabe o que ou como jogar os mestres de jogos ou gurus dão uma ajuda.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">Eles fazem um chocolate quente </span><span style="color: #274e13;">incrível </span><span style="color: #274e13;">(40dkk), dá para escolher o tipo de chocolate (negro, de leite, branco); Leite de soja (+ 5dkk), e eles ainda metem chantili, marshmallows e pop rocks de chocolate. Eles até fazem com sabor a alcaçuz (e outras opções que não consigo lembrar).</span><br />
<br />
<b>Studenterhuset</b> é um café que funciona com estudantes voluntários, no centro de Copenhaga Købmagergade 52. Às vezes, está calmo e silencioso, perfeito para estudar, há salas no primeiro andar para usar como salas de reuniões, grupos de estudo, leitura ... mas também têm imensos eventos planeados (muito dinamarquês 😀) especialmente durante os fins de semana quando tende a ficar mais cheio. Eles organizam concertos, feiras em segunda mão ao domingo, noites de cinema com pipocas e passeios guiados gratuitos. É um sítio muito simpático e barato tendo em conta os padrões dinamarqueses.</div>

A great way to get some extra cash and organize time during an Erasmus experience is to get a part time job. Not every job requires you to speak the native language. Usually you can find one at universities or student cafes because they already have an international community.

For me, it was babysitting. I found a Portuguese/Italian family, the perfect fit. In this case, knowing different languages is exactly what international families living in foreign countries are looking for. Through facebook groups of your natives living in that country ("Portugueses na Dinamarca") or through friends of friends you can get so many contacts, <b>networking</b> is extremely important and useful for everything in life.</div>

Babysitting is so much fun, and there are many things you can do with the kids depending on their ages. I had dinner with the family; braided the little girls hairs; we did art activities like drawing, colouring, and origamis; we sang Disney's Frozen, played with their toys; watched Pipi Long Stockings about 10 times, and read bedtimes stories, it was always Anita.</div>

In babysitting, I would say clear everything you need to know with the parents: routines, bedtime, allergies, what activities are ok with the parents.. etc. Having a whatsapp group with them is a good idea, to contact them in case anything comes up, and i really advise you to get some basic First Aid training.</div>

<span style="color: #274e13;">Uma boa forma de arranjar algum dinheiro extra e organizar o tempo durante uma experiência Erasmus é conseguir um part time. Nem todos os trabalhos exigem que se fale a língua nativa. Geralmente, consegue-se encontrar um em universidades ou cafés de estudantes porque aí já existe uma comunidade internacional. Na Dinamarca especificamente, os municípios locais ajudam imenso, uma amiga minha chinesa trabalha como chef de Sushi.</span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;">Para mim, foi babysitting. Encontrei uma família meia Portuguesa meia Italiana, foi perfeito. Neste caso, conhecer diferentes línguas é exatamente o que as famílias internacionais que emigraram procuram. Através de grupos do Facebook, por exemplo, "Portugueses na Dinamarca", ou através de conhecidos de amigos, arranjam-se tantos contatos, criar uma boa rede de networking é extremamente importante e útil para tudo na vida.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Babysitting é muito divertido, e há tantas coisas que se pode fazer com os miúdos dependendo das idades. Jantava com a família; entrançava os cabelos das mini princesas; fazíamos atividades de artes plásticas como desenhar, colorir e origamis; Cantávamos o Frozen da Disney, brincamos; vi a Pipi das Meias Altas umas 10 vezes! e antes de dormir, líamos as histórias da Anita.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Em babysitting, eu diria esclarecer tudo</span><span style="color: #274e13;"> em antecedência com os pais: rotinas, horas de dormir, alergias, se estão de acordo com as atividades... etc. Ter um grupo de whatsapp com eles é uma boa ideia, caso surja qualquer coisa, também aconselho fazer um curso básico de primeiros socorros.</span></div>

Northern Sjaelland Castles</span></h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the weather is nice and sunny in Denmark, it is almost mandatory to go out and about, this time, for a full day trip to see castles. We drove up the coast from Kongens Lyngby and passed through Karen Blixen's house and Louisiana first. The morning was spent at Kronborg and after lunch, Fredensborg and Frederiksborg.<br />

Kronborg</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kronborg sits by the sea in Helsingør town, located north east of Sjaelland and neighbour to Helsingborg in Sweden. See if you can find the little mermaids statue in a male version "Han" (him), he is extremely shiny. When passing through the main entrance you start to hear military recordings and get in the spirit of what it used to be like as a stronghold. It is possible to visit inside the castle, but just walking around and in the courtyards is free and still lovely. There are miniature models showing the evolution of the fort throughout the years.</div>

You will find Holger Danske statue "sleeping" in stone. He is a national dane hero and according to legend will wake up to protect Denmark in case of threat from enemies, Hans Christian Andersen was the one to place him at Kronborg in a fairy tale. This castle was also an inspiration for Shakespeares play Hamlet.</div>

There is a ferry from Helsingør to Helsingborg (Sweden) which gives a nice view of the castle and you also get to visit a new city. A two way ticket costs 57 dkk and lasts about fifteen minutes long to each side. In Helsingborg, I walked a little bit around the centre passing by the Kärnan and climbed up to the Slottshagen.</div>

I love the feel of Notting Hill. At Portobello road you are overwhelmed with different colours and smells, from vegetable and fruit markets and multicultural food stands. There are picturesque antique shops, with clocks, old photography equipment, and forgotten teddy bears. Seeing familiar books, such as Beatrice Potter, Roald Dahl, Paddington Bear, and Harry Potter bring back so many childhood memories. Street buskers brighten up the atmosphere whether its with saxophone solos or adorable old ladies singing.<br />

| Camden town</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Camden is a really hipster, freaky and awesome place. All the stores stand out, with the typical decorations jumping out of the walls. There are a mix of different markets: the Camden lock area and the Stable markets, from jewellery, to hipster clothes, to trinkets you don't need. The freakiest shop in Camden is definitely Cyberdog. You can find anything alternative there, including the people who work there, amidst neon lights, electronic music and pole dancing girls.</div>

I personally love going to see the Big Ben at night, because that is when you can see it illuminated. Then I like to walk East alongside the Thames river and zigzag crossing over the many bridges until the Tower bridge.<br />

Hamburg is a port city, expect to find many boats, bridges, canals, and hear passing seabirds. I caught it on a very grey and rainy weekend which unfortunately set a slight gloomy mood.</div>

The journey from Copenhagen is nice because you get to go on the ferry. Transport cost me 19€ each way, first on the Flixbus and to return on the DB train. Travelling by train is 100 times better and I suggest it if you can. I had my phone, food and knitting to entertain me on the way. Public transport daily ticket in Hamburg is 6,20€. </div>

The Elbphilharmonie is the new modern concert hall in Hamburg. It has a free viewpoint of the city from the plaza, but you have to book it on the day and in the machines they have there, whilst online you pay for the reservation. Get there early, or it will get fully booked, and choose a time slot to visit throughout the day. </div>

We did not plan this but as we were walking in the urban park, Planten un Blomen, we heard the music from the ice skating and decided to give it a try. This was my first ice skating experience and I loved it. I was so exited and went all confident into the rink, but it all got crushed when I put my first foot in and felt myself slipping like bambi. I then tried to skate a little bit, but felt no control whatsoever, so for the first half hour I held on very tightly to the rail refusing to let go, because I have a fear of falling and getting hurt, I was so disappointed in myself. Luckily I got a little help and was so happy when I got the hang of it, I was setting longer and longer goals of skating each time I let go.</div>

We crossed the river from underneath in the Alter Elbetunnel, which is a really long tunnel (426.5m long and 23.5m deep), the way down is located on the Landungsbrücken. We took the stairs three times, and when returning back up, the elevator. On the other side you get a nice view from the harbour and city.</div>

Catch Ferry 62 instead of harbour cruises. It is included in the public transports system so just hop on and off like a water bus and enjoy the ride. It departs from Landungsbrücken (pier 3), and some good stops are the ‘Dockland’ station where you can climb up to the top of office buildings and Altona (Fischmarkt), we didn't have time to go much further because we had a train and plane to catch.</div>

Overall it is a nice city and I enjoyed my stay. However, I don't feel like I need to go back, even only have stayed for a short weekend. I'm exited about visiting other places in Germany, and I like Berlin much more, for sure.<br />

I think it's time to say goodbye to the white winter, although you never know what you're going to get with Denmark! There was a snow storm this week, the kind that I arrived home like a snowman after walking and getting into some serious snowball fight with the clouds. Take a look in the video.<br />

It felt like the last one, let the rain begin, and wash away the snow, gently waking up the sleeping forest. I can't wait for the bugs, slugs and snails, frogs, snakes, and all the other dear animals. Spring I'm ready for you!</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">After the snow, we have seen some really sunny days, and it's all just dripping away from tree tops and melting into the earth. The ice cap in the lakes is getting thinner and starts to crack beneath the ducks feet, it is so funny to watch them unexpectedly and clumsily slip into the water.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Acho que chegou a altura de me despedir do inverno branquinho, ao mesmo tempo, na Dinamarca nunca se sabe! </span><span style="color: #274e13;">Houve uma tempestade de neve esta semana, daquelas em que eu cheguei a casa tipo boneco de neve depois de andar numa guerra de bolas de neve com as nuvens. Eis uma amostra (ver video)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Senti que seria a última, que comece a chuva, que leva a neve e gentilmente acorda a floresta adormecida. Mal posso esperar pelos insectos, lesmas e caracóis, sapos, cobras, e todos os outros queridos animais. Primavera, podes chegar!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Depois de nevar, temos apanhado dias de sol, e a neve vai pingando das árvores ao encontro da terra. A camada de gelo que cobre os lagos está a ficar cada vez mais fina, e começa a quebrar por baixo das patas dos patos, e eles deslizam surpreendidos e trapalhões na água, tem imensa graça. Encontrei um tronco caído e decidi abraçá-lo, bem porque as árvores também são hyggelig.</span></div>

You catch the bus A on the left side when you leave the airport and not the flibco buses in front of the arrivals. If you are under 26 you can use a Gopass to travel in between stations in Belgium: Gopass 1 (6€ per trip), Gopass 10 (52€ 10 trips) but you can also get a discount on the normal tickets on weekends (8,60€ two way ticket) so you have to see what is cheaper for the amount of trips you are planning, <a href="http://www.belgianrail.be/en/Default.aspx">more info here</a>.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #990000;">Random things</span></b><br />WC - Every public toilet is paid in Belgium, except in the trains so always go during travel time.<br />Mondays - a lot of museums are closed!<br />Every city I visited seemed to always have something under construction.</span><br />

Very close to St. Salvators kerkhof you can find The Old Chocolate House, at Mariastraat 1. It is a really nice chocolate shop with an upstairs tearoom. They have the best hot chocolates, and if you don't want dairy there are plenty of organic vegetable drinks (soy, rice almond and coconut). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you're curious about where the name Antwerp came from, it originated from a legend and means hand + to throw. There was once a mythical giant named Antigoon who lived near the Scheldt river and taxed boatmen passing by, if they refused he would cut off their hands and throw them in the river until a Roman hero named Silvius Brabo came along and defeated the giant. Then he cut off one of his hands, and threw it in the river, and that is the statue you see in front of the stadhuis (Wiki).</span></div>
