And welcome to 2013! Wow, another year is over. But actually for once, I have to admit that 2012 was packed full of so many good things and fond memories. We got married and had brilliant celebrations in Aarhus, Copenhagen and Dublin (!), travelled to Africa, went to really good music festivals, got to know Aarhus better, made new friends, (I) learned more Danish and Esben's cooking just got better and better. It really was a fun-packed year, and I'm hoping 2013 is the start of many more good years to come!
We had a lovely New Year's Eve in Odense with our lovely friends (and family), Aine, Troels and Alexander. Alexander celebrated his first NYE, and wore a lovely selection of hats before retiring to bed at 8pm. We had a seriously yummy dinner and enjoyed the firework display which was on for about 5 hours in total.
While we were in Copenhagen for the Christmas period, we visited Tivoli - it has kind of become a tradition that if we are in Copenhagen around Christmas time, we have to go there at least once. And so while we were wandering around enjoying mulled wine and eating spanish churros, Esben spotted the shooting range and suggested we have a (friendly) re-match. The previous encounter resulted in Marian 1, Esben 0, so I think he was trying to win back some street cred. And so we played one round. It is the best of 20 shots. On the previous visit I scored 19/20, so that was going to be difficult to match or beat. I ended up with 14/20 this year. I'm clearly a little rusty at shooting targets. Esben finished with 4/20 (and I kind of shot 2 of them, because he thought his rifle was broken). Oh well, so it now stands at Marian 2, Esben 0. That said, Esben did beat me in the horse racing...until next time for our re-match!
Before leaving Tivoli, we enjoyed the fireworks display which is held every year from 26-30 December. It is really impressive, and it looked amazing as the fireworks shot up behind the Russian/Danish themed Tivoli 2012.
