Sunday 23 August
Fell asleep after a full course of lovey-dovey text messages to Jamie at 5am, and got some shut-eye till around noon when Anna called me up and summoned me to Christiania – perfect execution. Knocked back some orange juice, hopped on my bike and was back in the alternate universe within minutes. Sat down near some greenery while tourists walked by and waited for Steve to find me – it didn’t take long. Sat by the lake with a couple of beers then took a relaxing ride around the area. Our second resting spot was directly opposite “Probably the Most 24 Jam Location in the World”, the single-storey brown buildings that Kevin says are ex-submarine bases and house some of his video games clients – thankfully all I could make out on this sunny afternoon were bikini-clad international youth diving into the harbour. Boom.
Rode back with Anna through the village, listening to The Arcade Fire from my handlebars, and noticed that it wasn’t as happening as Thursday afternoon – perhaps it was too early. Made it back to the hotel so Anna & Steve could get their flight back to London and prep for the wedding they were to attend the next weekend in Detroit – decided to spend my extra time kicking back in the Tiger lounge with a bucket and wishing the remaining peeps farewell.
Did a super-efficient pack at five to five, checked out and took the flight via Frankfurt back with Crystella, Antz and Kenny. Feeling very human, balanced and realized, I dozed gently for the 12 hour flight back, without any need to resort to sleeping pills. Layer upon layer upon layer...
