a simple and uneventful flight into amsterdam via Sterling.dk. the airport at CPH has had some changes. a larger security walk though area, as well as a big new shopping area that you have to walk past to get to the gates.
landed in once piece and went to pick up my bag, then meet up with Chantal and![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ropemarks. x5nder had also just flown in from somewhere and mirja was there to meet him so we all jumped into the car and headed to the houseboat i was staying in with fd_midori and sfracerx. The bags were dropped off and then a walk to dinner at a restaurant that was quite tasty (forgot the name). i ended up with the lobster half and slightly spicy tomato and red pepper soup followed by a chocolate bombe thing with choc macadamia nut ice cream. yum yum yum!
the next day we walked around looking for an internet cafe without the pot menu. ended up walking all the way up to the Dam but the Irish pub we ended up in was kind of nice. Finally, i headed out towards Geuzenveld to see Louva and Anton as well as D (not seen her since right after she was born). Only had a little time for a visit. Back to the houseboat to meet up with M n K and get our butts over to DasArts n set up for our show thing.
I didn't get to see the other performances as we were dressed up and in costume butsfracerx did. i think her reports were that the stuff was kick ass (not her exact words though). Our show went off nicely, and as usual, i have some bruises n bumps including one on my left boob that ostanine noticed. Ended up finding a bottle of vodka (one of the students' bday) and we drank from that a bit. then back to the houseboat. i headed out to the corner bar where i started to get my drink on. ended up talking to guys in from Denver. I told them they reminded me of DJ Jazzy Jeff. I dont think they took it as an insult, as they bought me a drink. I told them they should head up to the RedLight and get laid before the city cleans itself up. fd_midori and sfracerx showed up (they had to have food or something) and then we jumped into a cab and got our asses to the ARC bar where we hung out with bootyful gay boys watching fashion tv.
Cab, stumble to houseboat. drunkeness. woke up too early. hangover. owie. finish packing. ink all over skin from show still. cab to airport (worth every cent of the 40 euro i spent). head in pain. check in desk lady asked me if i wanted window or aisle. i requested window. get chocolate at fancy store forostanine then liquids for me. drink drink. get on plane and realize i got shafted with a center seat. (BOO! Olympic Airlines). fuck.
so uncomfortable. and it's a 3+ hour flight. oh well. i lived. must make certain that doesn't happen again. (nor the vodka followed by jack daniels part).
Very smooth landing (yeah Olympic Airlines). didnt even noticed we touched down. back in Greece. during the flight i had a blanket rolled up and i used it for a neck cushion. at the baggage claim area a lady came up to me with it and said i forgot it on the flight. ooh nice. but i explained it was olympic airline's blanket. i still thanked her though. got bags and saw John right away. so many people flying in last nite. a ton of tourists too. i guess the tourism ads promoting winter travel in Greece is working!
