just a little breaking news...

Well, school's back, the weather's Danish, family is good and Daniel is happy. A more detailed report of the current life situation will come shortly, but there was one big piece of news that I thought I'd break first....

I'm going to Tunisia!!!

There's a trip with my language school, which is really a school for 13-16 year olds, and those who wish to learn Danish (ie, exchange students and newly arrived "ivandrender", or immigrants) that had been organised for efteraar's ferie (Autumn break). It was booked out long ago, long before I knew that the school was organising it. But I found out about it from a very friendly lady from the school, Dina, who said if there was a spare place she'd make sure she let me know.
So then, just last week, I got an email saying a girl had pulled out, and would I like to go to Tunisia? Of course I would! I asked Rotary and back home to see if there was any issue with it and it's all ok! So, from the 13th of October til the 19th of October, I'm going to be in the North African country of Tunisia. The program includes a night at a 5 star hotel, a night camping in the Sahara, a 15 kilometre camel trip, African markets and a history of the WW2 campaign through northern Africa.

Just in case you were like me and are not entirely sure where Tunisia is, here's a little map:

Can life get any better?

more to come soon...

Wasn't parts of Star Wars filmed in Tunsinia?

Anyway, it sounds VERY exciting.

What an adventure!

Spitting camels, bedouins and a very big beach volley ball court! I'm sure Tunisia will be yet another highlight...
