I arrived at London next morning, and checked in for transfer, then I went through Terminal 4 to Terminal 1. While waiting for boarding, I looked in Duty free shoppers and called home. My mother was surprised that she could hear me so clearly. Then I tried calling hotels which were listed in my accommodations list, but there was no answer. I was at a loss for the moment, and I found a notice in frot of the telephone saying that telephone numbers had changed in June 6. I managed to understand the meanigs of the notice and called accommodation, but 'already full reserved' was the only answer I could heard. Oh! I dare say it was due to the Wimbledon time.

路線バス Norrebro駅 When I arrived at Denmark,Jesper welcomed me waving Hinomaru (Japanese national flag). After changing some buses, I arrived at Jesper's house, where two friends of hers had come. Soon after taking a break with some drinks, I got on a train bound for Northern Sjaelland at the Norrebor station. Here the train had a space for bycycles or wheelchairs in each car.
Kronborg castle After arriving at Northern Sjaelland, I ate some "hot dog", which were similar to one we eat in Japan.
At first, I went to the Kronborg castle, well known as a stage of Hamlet. Fortunately, I could see King there, though it is said that Queen actualy has the authority.
While I saw off the King, the train which I was going to take had already departed. The next train seemed to come one hour later at least, so I ate ice cream to kill time. Whipped dairy cream and jam on the chocolate and vanila flavored ice cream. They were about 20cm long and substantial; I had eaten hotdogs also when I arrived at Northern Sjaelland!
After seeing the Fredericsborg Castle, I went to the Jasper's villa. His family came to the station to pick me up.
hedgehog hedgehog I had a delicious dinner there. They had raspberry and cherry trees in the garden, and I ate a raspberry cake and cherry. In the garden, we could see many creatures,such as hedgehogs. I have never seen the hedgehog except in zoo, so I tried to take a picture of it and chased it. Jesper told me that they could see owls also in the garden.
When I asked what the owls were, she said that they were big birds. Then, I misunderstood that they were large birds like ostrich. Jesper also told me that owls fed on rats,but I got it into my head that ostriches fed on rats.
After a while,Jesper's father brought a field guide and pointed at a picture of the owl.Yes,It would be dreadful if the ostrich ran around in the garden(^_^;).

At night, after coming back from the villa to Jesper's house, we talked about my schedule. They seemed to care about me because I was going on my trip alone. I told them that,although I had to stay overnight at London becuse of the connection of the flight, I could not have found any accommodations yet. Then Jesper offered to help me. As I thought that Jesper would be trustworthy, I went to bed soon.
