Going under

Okay this is a little dream coming through. For the last year or so I have wanted try out diving. My initial though was a diving trip to Thailand – but with Annemette being pregnant this is probably not going to happen the next couple of years. So I decided to go for it anyway. This week I started a PADI Open Water Course at Amager Dykkercenter. Just in the middle of us moving to a new apartment one could argue that this was perhaps a little to much – but I chose to go with passion instead of sensibility. This week the course have been from 17.30 to midnight Monday, Wednesday and Thursday – and the we have been diving in Øresund today and will continue this again tomorrow.
The water is not very clear and there are not reefs or exciting wildlife. Well sometimes you cannot wait for the perfect opportunity – it has been great fun this week and I have had some good times with some cool people. Especially Morten Dyk – the diving instructor has been a real experience. And isn’t that what its all about! Correction/addition: Øresund has been very exciting!


Today we went to ‘Kanonvraget’ at Saltholm. This is an old canon boat that sunk near Sweden during ‘Slaget på Reden’ several hundred years ago. The wreck is lying at 12 meters and it was so fantastic. The visibility was good and we could just se everything….the bronze canons…the sides of the ships…and a lot of wild life…..Wauv!!!

Moving to the new apartment

Moving to New apartmentThe first week back from the holiday ended with a little moving project. It turned out that we could have apartment by Thursday – so we made it quick and dirty. Started moving Friday afternoon, and was finish with all of it by Saturday evening. Søren and Annette did a great job of helping – thank you. Marie and Frederik was over for the weekend – and we thought that it would be good for them to be involved. So they pointed out there new rooms and did their own ‘decorating’ of the rooms. It was nice to have the new150 Kvm with 2 bathrooms and a dishwasher apartment rather than Annemettes 50 kvm apartment – it is really nice but not really suited for 4 people. As I’m writing this we have been living in the new apartment for one week – and we are just so happy about the place and the fact that the moving project is now DONE.

Holiday ends…

Okay holiday is over….but there are still a few things that I would like to share from the last week. We spent a good week at ‘Lendrup Strand’ a beach area close to Løgstør. We were really looking forward to spending the week 100 meters from the beach and just go swimming every day. BUT because of the hot summer the water was disgusting – so we had to find some other activities. We had a few good trips ‘Rønbjerg Feriecenter’ where we enjoyed the indoor waterworld with the kids and I had some good games of Squash with my brother Søren (again result will not be commented). We went to some of the local museums – it was quite funny to do that in your hometown.

Anyway what I’m coming at here is the real highlight of the week – a guided horseback riding at a plantation a little north of Løgstør. We went out riding icelandish ponies with the kids one afternoon. It was so much fun for all of us – even Frederik was riding his own horse for more than one hour….god job son.

We also enjoyed some of the good seafood of the area. One night we had ‘Stegte ål med nye kartofler og persillesovs’ – the kids just loved it (for som reason) and the 4 of us ate 2 Kg of ‘Ål’ which is…a lot…We ended the week with a perfect night together with Ole, Lena and Nicolai at ‘Kunst torvet’ in Løgstør where we just chilled out with some live music and some of Løgsørs famous muscle dishes. Thanks for a great week to everybody in Løgstør.
