ID cards and letter

lots of updates today! Got my id card and a nice introductory letter, however, it does state:

"You might be able to attend job training between 8:00 and 11:30" -does that mean its optional?? ;-)

Tired, but at booking in.

it seems to be a a tent oi n the middle of nowhere?! Check in, then to the site, pitch and SLEEP!!!

The eagle has landed....

welcome to sunny (well very rainy) copenhagen.

Next stop, jamboree check in, then to the site.

He jumped from 40,000ft.....

This news update is from the plane somewhere over the north sea. 

Actually when I send this we should have landed in copenhagen, but we will have to see.

I'm sat near the group from Albania and Leicester. 

Campfire songs seem to be being sung, however, I query the appropriateness of "John Brown's body". Incase you don't recognise the name, the song goes:

He jumped from 40,000 ft without a parachute (x3)
And he ain't gonna jump no more!

Glory glory what a hell of a way to die, when you're hanging by your braces and you don't know how to fly,
glory glory what a hell if a way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

They scraped him off the runway like a lump of strawberry jam..... Etc etc

My phone is currently in "fly mode" and is hovering around the cabin, quite an interesting feature!! ;)

Done my first badge swap, bit sad, but shey ho!!

Due to land in copenhagen in about 40 minutes, then I need to work out how I'm getting from there to Rinkaby (and the jamboree site).

Time to either join in the songs or pretend to be asleep.

Great! We're flying in a microlight!!! ;)

First international scouts!

Just met my first foreign scores of the trip. These are from Armenia and have been staying with british scouts for the past few days in Ho-Ho (Home Hospitality) in leicester.

I've also met scouts from leicester, wales, lincon.

Boarding now .... Up up and away!!!!

And they're off.....

right, time to leave parents for the trip to the airport and we're on our way!
