Goodbye Copenhagen




Yes, the last lot of Copenhagen goodness. A trip back there is a must, but for now, one nice, big, old building with a very cool roof. They used to build ships (little ones) in here back in the day, now it's an artist hangout, antique market and storage area. The big hall where the main construction took place now houses some shipping containers, a couple of little sailboats, and a guard living in one of the boats. For some reason the door was open (Cheers Copenhagen!) again, so me and Shining did some serious ninja stealth manouvres behind some shipping containers, and up some pigeon shit encrusted stairs to survail the supposed survailer. He wasn't asleep but he wasn't walking around either, excellent. Plastic cups are so god damn loud when stepped on its ridiculous. But it's all good, so we go back down the stairs and climb a 3 metre wall to look into the antique market. Back down and back outside, we head for the main objective: the roof above. The climb was fun, 7 or 8 metres up a blank wall, monkey style on a I beam that was slightly sticking out of the wall, but at least there was a fan unit 4 metres up for an extra foothold and a quick rest. Then the roof, shitty old wooden ladders and catwalks, and the roof sagged and wobbled in some dodgy spots. The roof was biiiiig, lots of spaces to explore, and some apartments that would be seriously cool to live in. More beers, more photos. A very good night, cheers Shining!
