On the weekend we went to Copenhagen to hang out with Bo and play the first event in the Danish National Tour.

There might have to be a part 2 to this post, because I still have some photos on my camera to upload. The news is that we finished 3rd place, and got to do all the cool stuff like stand on the podium, get a big fake cheque and play a few good games of beach volleyball.

All together we played 7 games in two days, getting knocked into the losers bracket by the 3rd seeds in our second game on Saturday. We won three in a row to get into the semi-final, but lost in a close 3 setter to Martin Siig Simonsen and Jakob Due. We made easy work of the bronze game 21-10, 21-15.

Copenhagen was really nice, and we stayed in a pretty ritzy ‘design’ hotel on the first night (we had no idea where else to go). There is a real culture of design and quality in Denmark and Duck and I both thought that it would be a nice place to go and live – except during the long, cold, dark winter. After the first night we stayed at Bo’s mum’s house which was very homely, and camped on Saturday night at the beach where we played, Feddet.

We got interviewed for TV twice over the weekend, and you can see one of the interviews here at TV2. Also there are a few photos from our semi on picasa. Only the low res photos that I ‘borrowed’ from the photographers website are up until I can buy the high res off him. There are heaps more photos from the rest of the event if anyone is interested in checking out Bo and Anders in the final or the Danish girls comp.

We are now in Brno, Czech Republic and play the qualifier tomorrow for this challenger. If we don’t make it though to Saturday here we will travel to Vienna where there is an Austrian tour event for the weekend. The promoter there offered us a wildcard as well as a hotel and food, so this weekend is looking good either way.

More soon!
