Travel Writing - Going to Congo with Mogens Glistrup!

Just arrived in Congo after 12 hours of flight, we unpacked and ate a bowlful of Kellogg's Froot Loops. On the way to our bungalow we passed a sign that said: Caution - Do not enter! What a lovely start to the vacation. At around noon we ate Daloon, and after we settled we thought that it might be a good idea, to invite Mogens Glistrup over nice cup of tea, with cucumber sandwiches. So we called him: "Hey Mogens! We were wondering if you were up for a nice cup of tea?" He answered: "Hvorfor er der altid nogen der foreslår ... Jamen er vi så enige om det?". Very nice, now we had an appointment with Mogens in the land of the Muhammaddanere!

So we had to go hunting before supper (which incidentally happened to be Mogens' last!). We packed our hunting gear to go searching for something eatable. We had been told by our guide Mahribmi, that they had several different species of birds including: eagles, ostriches and penguins. We decided to go for an ostrich, because we knew that Mogens liked a well cooked egg.

Sooooooo after 7 hours of intense hunting, we finally found our target. An elderly, lonely ostrich which would be a perfect kill. So, we killed it. With our brand new Remington R700 rifle!

Back at camp Mogens Glistrup had arrived, and was busy keeping the muhammaddanere in their caves. So we said: "Hey Mogens! Why don't you chop some carrots, eh?" - "Tjaaa, det kan da godt være" he answered. When dinner finally was ready, we had made an enormous omelette out of the egg. Unfortunately, Mogens choked in a eggshell. All honour to his name (and deeds!).



^^ - The last thing he did, before he passed away: Complementing our delicious omelette!
