I dag er solskin! ☀️ I wore sunscreen and still a little pink. The sun felt amazing. First we headed down to Nyhavn. It is one of the most famously photographed locations in Copenhagen with the colorful houses. There are a plethora of restaurants along the street in front and the water runs along the other side. I encountered an artist painting in watercolor and left with one. I love chance encounters and art! Across the water is a little park with a little cafe, and the Opera House. We walked over and on the way back stopped at Hart (cafe) and it was SO nice to sit in the sun. It was only mid to high 50s, but it felt so much warmer. Next up was The Church of Our Savior tower. First let me ... read more

It’s really a shame that this blog site is having so many issues. Had to log in with different browser and still uploading many photos black. Going to work on an alternative option because photos are my jam. Today I headed over to the Human Library. The bus I took randomly stopped with no explanation and a bunch of confused humans retreated from the bus bi decided to walk the remainder of the way there so I could see sights and not have to worry about transport. Apparently there was a marathon this morning , which made sense one I learned that. The Human Library is a brilliant concept where you can check out books who are people and ‘reading’ them is a conversation in any direction you take it on a topic of choice presented ... read more

It’s getting harder to start up these blogs without saying the same old things. Woke early/late. Ate breakfast. Re-packed bags - blah blah….. Anyway. Woke up early, had breakfast and went for a walk to pick the car up from its car park area. Forgot to tell you that yesterday. Because our hotel was in the middle of the old city there was no parking available. The council had, however provided 4 parking lots around the town. P-Ost (east), p-Syd(south) - get the idea…. Our lot was P-Syd. A 3 minute drive from the hotel and a 9 minute walk back. When I went there yesterday arvo there were campervans everywhere. Obviously like a camp ground in the city. Even had toilets and I guess showers. The car park area was also super busy but managed ... read more

They don't get much better than today. Not quite up with the larks (and welcoming our old friends the mozzie bites 😬) we had a hurried brekkie and drove the twenty minutes to Lego land. Actually, proper danish Legoland. We had been before, nine years ago, almost to the day, Seth hadn't. I don't think it's possible to be any more excited then he was this morning. From greeting a wizard before we'd really even got in, his eyes were saucers taking in everything. Fortunately they didn't seem to take in the fact it was 'ridiculously and wholly inappropriate slogan on t shirt day' My top two were ' screw you hotdog, and ' Monday you bastard' 🤷🏻‍♀️ We started with a frog ride, headed for a mine train, got soaked in a short but heavy ... read more

Part 4 - We had done virtually everything apart from one last part of the museum/castle complex. This was the odd sounding Aero park/motorcycles museum and the Depository . I guess with an aeropark you know what you are getting . Loads of old airplanes . However all we found was one old Danish Airforce MIG fighter plane parked up outside the buildings. We never did find another airplane despite trying. Inside was quite literally a time capsule of vehicles . The lower floor was given over to motorbikes . Unlike in our country where the vehicles are displayed in date order starting from the earliest before moving up to date here there seemed to be very little order . The bikes were suspended from the ceiling and were at eye level so it was easy ... read more
