Aalborg Football Stadium

After Hamish talking nicely to a very helpful security guard and telling him they had travelled all the way from Scotland in a boat and that he knew Brian Laudrup when he played for Rangers, he managed to get tickets to the Denmark v Iceland game for free.  Logan couldn't believe his luck.... 8 rows from the front!!

Busy day ahead

With all the laundry done and the weather brightening up they have a full timetable for today.
They are going to visit the Aalborg Cultural Centre which is an hour and a half journey by train, they also have to change trains mid-way.......hope they make it. 
Tonight they are going to see the Under 21s Denmark v Iceland football match, which they will all enjoy.

Rainy Denmark!

With Denmark being so cold and wet yesterday, they stayed on the boat for lunch and had tomato soup all round served up by Disco.




They then ran a card school to win mars bars which Shaun and Stevie won, much to the disgust of others.  Even Logan sulked and had a strop, he really wanted that sweetie.




The 'Windshift' Song

While on watch on the way to Denmark, some of the crew wrote 'The Windshift Song'.
Here is a video of them singing it, hope you enjoy.











They are thinking of handing the video in to Simon Cowell for the next round of X Factor.

Arrived in Norway the early hours of this morning. 

Tye, Danny and Shaun were all sick.  Stevie and Logan managed a bit better.


Saw an oil rig while crossing the North Sea, also saw dolphins which Tye was really excited about.



Busy playing cards.

Danny caught his first fish which looked a weird colour.

Having an early night so ready for going to zoo and theme park in the morning.
