The journey to Copenhagen was pretty straight forward (more so than I expected). My flight left and arrived on time and I was able to negotiate the train journey to Koge. The ship is immediately visible on arrival at the train station – it dominates the skyline and is brightly lit. Paul was waiting to greet me in reception, after I had climbed up the gangway. I was pleased to discover that there was a cabin waiting for me – I was expected!
After a quick coffee and run through of the essential safety stuff (what to do if the ship catches fire or someone falls overboard) it was time for bed. Breakfast at 0700 and then a chance to see round the ship…

Due to my recent change in employment status, I thought that instead of moping around and generally feeling miserable, I ought to get out and do some stuff. To that end, I got in touch with a friend of ours and asked if I could pay him a visit.

Paul has been working for an organisation called Operation Mobilisation for a number of years now and most recently has been working on the Logos Hope project. You can read more about OM here: http://www.om.org/ and specifically about Logos Hope here: http://www.logoshope.org/

I’ll be flying out to Copenhagen this afternoon, and then (hopefully) traveling by train to Køge to the docks there. I’m very excited to be able to do this, because the Logos Hope project has been an amazing one – a real story of vision and faith, and they have achieved so much. The ship is nearly ready to sail, so these are really exciting times for the crew and team.

I shall try to keep this blog updated as often as I get the chance, and will certainly be taking lots of photos to share with people when I get back.
