Princesse Benedikte of Denmark!

Today was a very relaxing day. We woke up late after having gone to bed late. Yesterday was the Youth Party! It was alot of fun! The place called 'Vega' was crowded with people. All the rooms on both building floors as well as the dance stage and arena were packed with youth that had been participating in the COP15 through out the week. It was a good way to take off all the stress from last week and refresh oneself for a new start for the coming week! We, WAGGGS team are all relaxed now, slept well and feel very excited about the coming week! GO GO

Today had 2 peak points. One was meeting Princesse Benedikte of Denmark.

She is a very elegant young lady (almost 60 of age) who is the official supporter of the scouts/guides in denmark. She and the Olave Baden Powel Society is also the reason why I and several other of the WAGGGS delegation are able to attend these important events in Copenhagen. A BIG THANKS TO THEM! We had the opportunity to have a little chat with her Royal Highness and I got to know from her that she enjoys Campfire songs alot (she is one of us =D).

The second event today was meeting the Scout for Climate people who came today to Holmen (the scouting place we are staying at) and who will be participating with us in the coming week in the COP15 and other activities. Very interesting, funny, intelligent people. This is what I have seen so far. Can't wait to get to know them more. Kaya, Luiza and I (the Action group) also prepared for the new commers a couple of welcome games. In the end, we celebrated together SANTA LUCIA day! (the 13th of December is the memory of St. Lucia. It is a very popular feast in the nordic countires. And since we have Sara Linea, Emily and I who speak Swedish as well as other guide/scout members, we sang two Lucia songs to the whole group of 60 along with some candle lights. - really nice =) )
As for now, it is time to go to bed. Tomorrow is a start for a new exciting week.
Will post photos and videos when I get the opportunity (soon!)
