If you want to take unreal pictures...
You'll need an 'un'-real camera;-)

Quite interesting to read about your rental, sight unseen, experience. Asalways, i love the detail that you provide in these blogs. Can anyone tell me if I can email this message to a mutual friend of Merry Jo and mine. I tried. She may not want to sign up for the blog, but she really would enjoy reading this.

Hello
Yes, you can cut and past the address in the bar at the top of the page and send it to her. I will send it to you via email and you can forward it to her.

I reckon the pedestrians should have to wear helmets in Copenhagen. As for airbnb, we've been using them all over the place. We are actually in a sensational apartment in the old town of Annecy right now. The major issue we find is what you pointed out, communication and having someone to let you in on arrival, particularly as we aren't carrying a phone. However there are so many positive trade offs, most importantly price. Read the reviews carefully and then you should be able to read between the lines of the owners spin. Keep having fun

Hi Penny and Gary
The one we are in currently in Berlin is excellent. Far better than the one in Copenhagen. I think this is an excellent way to have that home feeling and live in a neighborhood instead of in the middle of the tourist crap. We are very happy with this decision. Thanks for the feedback as we are still very new at this.

Loved your reaction to Plymouth Rock. When I was a kid we would hang around it and listen to similiar comments from tourists who had driven from Iowa or other distant places. I had the same reactions when visiting The Alamo- especially when learning that most of those who fought were mercenaries from NH, MA, or Germany. Loved your blogs and pics. Carolyn

Hello Carolyn
So good to hear from you again. Yes, it is funny when we hear about something and then go see it and wonder what the big deal is. At least with Plymouth rock it used to be bigger before people chipped pieces off of it. Agree about the Alamo. Where will your travels take you next?

Yummy time as usual!
I always get hungry looking at your photos--you do know how to enjoy a town! AIRbnb seems a great deal for couples, and I have friends who found a great mountain cabin. However, you do need to check the location on google maps. Here in Santiago, those offered in my price range would have required using the expensive metro, so I stayed where I only have to walk 45 minutes to town. Looking forward to Berlin--one of my fave cities.

Hi Tara,
We've landed in Berlin and it looks like our apartment is in a good location. We are going to buy the three day bus pass. I've never had a strong interest in coming to Berlin and can tell in the few hours we have been here that we are going to love this city. I'm glad that we will be here for a week. Glad you enjoyed the Copenhagen blog. We had a nice time. Glad you enjoy the food photos. Who knows what we will find in Berlin.

I spent some time living in Copenhagen some years back so read your blog with interest.
Though I have to be honest my jaw drop[ed when reading this: “Point and shoot” cameras are really quite good these days, but let’s face it, if your really going to take some quality shots, a real camera is a must". Yet, having never owned a "real camera" I guess I'll never know.

Hi Jason,
We've seen some amazing photos on travel blog taken with a point and shoot. I will only speak for myself...and I love a faster camera. I'm not sure if you read our blog where I dropped our D90 and broke the lens. I had been so used to it that camera that I was having trouble readjusting to the point and shoot that we bought. The comment was more of a reflection of my inability to use the point and shoot rather than the camera itself. Re-reading that line I see how it could be interpreted. Your photos are wonderful and I am surprised to hear you use a point and shoot.

Gud vad dejligt :)
Håber att du havde det sjovt i København :) Min danska är faktiskt ganska dåligt, men jag hoppas att ni förstår ändå ;)

Ok funny man
Looks like I need to find my dictionary. Maybe I'll go to one of those translation web sites. Love it. Good hearing from you again.

Sounds Like You are Still Having a Great Time
I loved the silly signs, as well as the runway that crosses the road. That reminded me of Gibraltar. Have fun and know I am with you each stop you make. And I am happy that you are able to take advantage of the off tourist season.

Off season
It is amazing how many more people are willing to chat with you when it isn't busy or crowded. You know how we love to talk and ask lots of questions. We learned a lot about music and fiddling.
