Et voici comme promis les petits films pris à Legoland... Cela vous donnera un peu plus encore une idée de ce que c'est ! et qui sait l'envie d'y aller un jour... En réponse à Liliane qui mettait en commentaire qu'ils n'ont pas de Pollux : avis aux amateurs nous avons vu pas mal de société d'aviation passer tout à côté vu que le parc se trouve juste de l'autre côté de l'aéroport... Ryanair, Turkish et j'en passe... Ceci dit amusez vous à découvrir les mouvements des camions, des trains, des bâteaux, etc... mais surtout PRENEZ DU BON TEMPS ! 1 : https://youtu.be/SKNzClg19dM 2 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KGP9_aoKwE 3 : https://youtu.be/Fg_krf_AiwY... read more

Nous y voila... Nous avons un peu hésité à y venir... On nous disait que cela ne vallait pas la peine... Sans doute un conseil d'une personne trop blasée... Nous avons bien fait de ne pas en tenir compte car nous avons été enchantés de notre visite... La réservation d'un emplacement pour Pollux sur place avec l'achat d'une entrée (qui incluait deux nuits et même deux jours de visite), était à un prix très abordable. Nous avons donc accepté cette offre et c'est en pensant à chaque enfant que nous avons un jour vu un Lego à la main que nous avons passées nos deux journées... En ce qui concerne les photos il y a bien entendu de quoi en perdre la tête... C'est pourquoi vous me permettrez de ne pas renommer les photos... chacun lui ... read more

2 April – 15 May 2019 After returning from the Caribbean we did the usual annual jobs and visited friends and family. We collected Astrid 2 and stayed with James's parents for two nights to get to grips with her controls. It was very kind of Maria and Martin to let us have a couple of nights in a real bed, also giving us time to check for faults before we left the dealership area. Until we drove back to Anna's in Wantage we did not have the bedding and cooking utensils to sleep in her so it was lovely to have some luxury before we moved into Astrid. The four of us went to a quiz which turned out to be a speed quiz, a new experience for us all. By the end of the ... read more

Early yesterday morning we accompanied our guest, Cindy, to the Copenhagen airport via the metro, and everything went according to plan...until it didn't. After we said our good-byes, and not long after Cindy proceeded through the security checkpoint, we received an e-mail message from her with the startling news that she had left her cell phone back in our apartment! Apparently a kind-hearted soul had allowed her to use his mobile phone to relay the news to us, and to her husband (John) back in Florida. But all's well that ends well, as today Dee and I were able to make arrangements with a Fedex agent to send the phone to the states, hopefully to be back in its owner's hands in a few days. After seeing Cindy off at the airport, we spent the rest ... read more

This morning we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the weather forecast for overcast skies and intermittent rain was off the mark. Although cool and a little breezy, we would enjoy some sunshine throughout most of the afternoon as we toured the Rosenborg Castle and nearby gardens. We managed to get a slightly earlier start than usual, walking to the Christianshavn metro station at 11:00 AM, and arriving at Nørreport station shortly thereafter. From this station, we had about a 20-minute hike before reaching the castle grounds. Rosenborg Castle (Danish: Rosenborg Slot) is a Renaissance castle that was originally built as a pleasure palace in the early 1600s, and is an example of King Christian IV's many architectural projects during his long, 59-year reign between 1588-1648. He is remembered as one of the most popular, ambitious, ... read more
