Day Nine: There are beaches in Denmark too

Although I would have normally added an update and uploaded the photos from the party the saturday after, I didn't really feel like it until today, so this is going to be a quick recap. The parties here are rather expensive, the guys really go for it and the girls leave them to it, as it usually goes with all Erasmus parties. The beer costs almost the same as a rum and coke and the bartenders have to do a balancing act with all the glasses. The worst part though was the trip home as the very nice bus driver of the N95 forced us to get off a few stops earlier than I thought, conclusion: walking for an extra 50 minutes to get home. Great.

Highlights of the rest of the weekend: we went to the beach of our marvellous town, where everything is concentrated into just a few kilometres from where we live (Only 5 minutes by bike! ).

Then we discovered that that today was the perfect day for the beach, as the people here make the most of the sun when it comes out by heading to the beach and spending the day having picnics with their families, sitting on the grass which almost goes right up to the seashore.

The big discovery of the day though were the ice-creams. They weren't cheap but considering the size of them, it's definitely worth it. Ordering them was a bit like an epic journey, as the system works by 'scoops', and they fill the cone to the brim! Nothing like the tiny scoops and hollow cones you get in Spain. Adri was smart though as when he saw mine he just said "the same for me". The best part though was that for an extra 5 DKK they added some sweets on top. The result was this:

Dutch lessons: "Milk" : Mælk. The odd thing is that here they have four different types: Sod (Whole), Mini (Semi-skimmed), Let (Skimmed) and another which is called 'Skummet', don't ask me what it is though, I guess it's like the halfway between two of them. Funnily enough, we bought a couple of cartons where the milk was sour so perhaps Skummet is a kind of milk which is already 'sour'?

Weird!
