The last few days of the trip seemed to pass very quickly, and in somewhat of a blur – and not just because I was drunk for most of them. I spent the remaining time in London seeing a few friends that I hadn’t managed to see the first time round, including catching up with Andrea and going to see Hairspray (the musical) at the Shaftesbury theatre. It was really good, despite the nose-bleed seats, and reminded me just how good the shows in London really are.

So after 48 hours back in London (during which time I hung out with Bec & Craig and reacquainted myself with the delights of Harrow on the Hill, a throwback to when I lived nearby a decade ago), it was back to Gatwick for another charter flight to the Greek islands – in this case Kos, on the Aegean side.

Several months ago, while stuck in Christchurch dreaming of places far, far away, I bought a bunch of Lonely Planet’s to aid in the inspiration process. Once of them was for Copenhagen, for no particular reason other than that I’d talked about going somewhere in Scandinavia for ages and Denmark seemed to get rave reviews from anyone that had ever been there. Long story short, that’s how Dean and I ended up on Easyjet flight 3465 from Stansted on Friday afternoon.
