The Pig and Old Square

 

This double page layout is actually about two different subjects but they are facing each other and in this type of album I like the facing pages to be similar. So because of that I've used the same materials but made them with different looks.
You might recognize this pig from the first page of Praque and here it is again - we really liked this pig and had a blast taking these pictures! And for those of you reading the journaling, Møffe is sort of a pet name for a pig in Denmark - and Peder always uses it when he encounters a pig!

  Page 1: From the Charles Bridge we followed the huge crowd of people towards Old Square - just about a billion other people had the same idea so it wasn't at all hard to find it; if you stopped walking you were almost carried along, so many people walked this way..
  At Old Square we sat down at a cafe right across the astronomical clock, ordered pie and something to drink, got the tripod ready so we could get picture in the dark - and then waited for the clock to strike. We were so totally ready - and then nothing! Suddenly the clock stroke - and nothing moved anywhere at all... Complete anti-climax!
  On the other hand a bunch of spanish students in capes and with guitars and everything song and played for people in the different cafes and that brought back some of the mood. But we were still very disappointed!
  Page 2: On our way back from Old Square to the tram stop we passed our friend from the mornig, the pig, Møffe. We had to take supe pictures in the dark - they may not be perfect but the laughs we got because of Møffe was definitely good! Jump Møffe, I'll catch you!!!
  When we had said goodbye to Møffe, we walked the last part of the way, got on a tram (without paying because the machine was broke) and got back to the hotel at about 11 pm - end of day one.

  Side 1: Fra Karlsbroen fulgte vi menneske-masserne op mod Old Square – der var cirka en milliard der havde fået samme idé, så det var ikke svært at finde vej; hvis man holdt op med at gå, blev man nærmest båret frem, så mange mennesker var der…
  På Old Square satte vi os på en cafe lige overfor det astronomiske ur, bestilte tærte og noget at drikke, stillede stativet op så vi kunne tage billeder i mørket – og ventede på at klokken blev hel. Vi var bare så klar! – og så ikke en skid… Pludselig ringede uret – men intet bevægede sig nogen steder, overhovedet… Total antiklimaks!
  Til gengæld var der en flok spanske studerende i kapper og med guitarer og alting, som sang og spillede for folk på de forskellige cafeer og det gav lidt stemning igen. Men vi var stadig meget skuffede!
  Side 2: På vejen hjem fra Old Square til sporvognsstoppestedet kom vi forbi vores ven fra om morgenen, grisen, Møffe. Og så var vi da nødt til også at tage et par billeder i mørke – de er måske ikke super, men de grin vi fik pga. Møffe, var helt klart gode! Spring Møffe, jeg griber dig!!!
  Da vi havde sagt farvel til Møffe, gik vi det sidste stykke, tog en sporvogn hjem (uden at betale, for automaten virkede ikke) og var tilbage på hotellet kl. ca. 23 – slut på første dag.
