Heading home - for real

Left the hotel early in the morning. Beautiful sunny morning – a bit cold though. No problems getting to the airport, Madrid seems to be fairly quiet in the morning. 

Got to the airport lounge and had a bit to eat before updating pictures, reading emails, facebook and everything else online. Got on the plane to Copenhagen – Iberia still sucks – but it was a nice flight and we were in Copenhagen on time. Got our luggage and was a bit surprised when we left the customs area – to be greeted by our parents (all of them), Malenes sister and a couple of our friends and their kids. So we just stayed there in the airport for about an hour – talking and talking. We finally managed to persuade everybody to split up – most of them decided to head for our apartment – the next little surprise.

We’ve rented our apartment to a couple for our entire trip and apart from a couple of mails this year (stating that we would be back as planned), we have not really been in contact with them. Much to our pleasant surprise we returned to a perfect apartment, clean and even with a “Welcome home” note on the whiteboard. Given that we had a whole group of eager family members with us we persuaded them to head for the attic and help us get some of the boxes down. So in half an hour we managed to get all the necessary stuff back down – but there is some unpacking left J

Spent the evening with friends and family telling stories about our trip, listening to all their stories about the awful Danish winter this year – and just connecting. Good to be back.
