We are off to a little town called Ebeltoft today. This was on the recommendation of our masseur, Bruce who has spent quite a bit of time in Scandinavia. The weather started off fine but extremely windy. Rain started as we got closer then the blue skies appeared again. Just like home…. Found our village but missed the first turn. No drama, next turn then into tiny little cobbled streets. Next thing I am going down a street with no cars anywhere. Chris asks if a circle with a red line through it means no entry. Ooops. Bloody tourists. Never mind. No one was injured in the enactment of this driving experience. Got out of there quick smart and back to a large car park where there was the museum of glass. They had an exhibition ... 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

It’s hard to believe that another year has passed. I reached the milestone of 70 years old, and somehow Jody just keeps looking younger every year. After last year’s post-Covid hectic pace of 2 Caribbean cruises, a week in Sanibel Island, a trip to Spain and Portugal, and a River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest, we decided to slow things down a little. Though we did take a Caribbean cruise in March, and plan to take another in September, our only major trip this year is this current trip, using Insight Vacations for the third time, to Spectacular Scandinavia and Its Fjords. The trip begins in Copenhagen, Denmark, passes through Stockholm, Sweden and ends up in the Fjords of Norway ending 15 days later in Oslo, Norway. The weather here is cooler than last year’s trip ... read more
