Another trip was at an end; the longest trip that Carmen and myself had been on together. It was also the longest period of time we’ve spent in each other’s company so far as well.

I got up at 08:00, and after breakfast I got ready for my long run. I’d come up with alternate routes depending on what distance I felt capable of today. Carmen decided she’d join me, so we used the ten mile route and ran to Amager Strandpark and along its entire length and out onto the road.

The road continued on to the airport, and with a small diversion we found our way onto a path around the eastern side of it. We thought we’d get a good view of the bridge from there but the fog was too thick. At five miles in we turned back and retracted our steps for the most part until we were back at the apartment.

After I’d had a shower, had eaten some lunch, and was packed, I decided to head to the LEGO store to get a souvenir that symbolises the country for us: LEGO bricks. It took around twenty minutes to get there via the M2, and we had good timing with taking the lifts to skip out several escalators. This included bypassing where they were filming what may have been a safety video at Lergravsparken station entrance.

Carmen helped me assemble all the bricks I needed into a 100 DKK box, and we were back on the train at 13:20 with thirty minutes left on our ticket for what would be a twenty minute journey back to the apartment. Just before we got onto the train we got an email from BA to say our flight may be impacted by adverse weather conditions back home. I couldn’t get on the internet properly at that point to see what the delay would be like.

We did stop for ice cream on the way back as we decided we had the time. After packing the last few bits we then made our way to Öresund station one last time for the journey to the airport.

Once there we had to find our way to Terminal 2 for the bag drop for our flight. I spotted Sandi Toksvig, the current host of QI, in the queue next to us. She was on the same flight to London as us. I think she heard me tell Carmen who was next to us, as she put a baseball cap on after that. For this one they served flavoured corn, and a small bottle of water. I’d thought this flight would be close to two hours, but we were told it would be only ninety minutes, and landed around ten minutes early.

When we arrived back in Heathrow, being at the back of the plane meant we were amongst the last off. We then took the train to Terminal 5A where we went through passport control nice and quickly and then onto baggage claims which was also quick. On our way to the car park I went to order an Uber and found that in the ten minutes since I’d prepared the booking, it’d gone up by over £20 due to surge pricing. I held off for a while longer, and then tried again, and this time it had gone down from the highest surge price to £46.83 so went ahead and booked it.

The Uber pick-up area for Terminal 5 is level 1 of the car park, at row R, so it didn't take long to find. On our way from there to Carmen’s, we noticed the traffic on the M25 was at a standstill so I decided when I drive home the best idea would be to drive across London to the M1. That wasn’t so much of a problem, but the heavy rain arrived around the same time I reached the M1, and that meant slow progress. When I reached the roadworks at Luton I was stationary a few times as two cars had been involved in an accident that resulted in an ambulance being needed.

I thought the traffic would ease off when I passed the accident, but it did not. The reason for this is that in addition to the standing water that had been present so far along the M1, there was actually a section of the roadworks that was flooded to the point of cars creating bow waves as they drove through it at no more than 10mph.

It turned into a long journey to get home from Amager, but eventually I made it.
