I'm really getting behind with this blog so I'm going to condense our time so far in Denmark into this one blog today. We have been enjoying the hospitality of my cousin Tove. Tove is one of 5 siblings whose father and my father were brothers. Tove lives in the most idyllic home and garden in a setting which you would swear was way out in the countryside but incredibly she lives only 9 km from Aarhus which is the next biggest city after Copenhagen. Tove has a lovely house set in a beautiful garden which she maintains all herself. Every day we eat produce from the garden, she has apple and plum trees, a sizeable vegie garden and a chook pen with one rooster and 5 hens. When we first arrived we caught up with ... read more

So, when we got to Legoland it was hot and sunny. When we went to sleep it was hot and sunny. Overnight it was not hot or sunny. In fact I, think it's safe to say it rained. We woke to raindrops on the roof, made a plan of action, it rained more, we changed our plan of action, put on raincoats, checked out of the campsite (amazingly lovely staff yet again) got wet and went to the park itself.a minor 'mistake' no my part meant a bit of cotton clenching as we turned Jason round in a very tight spot but all was well and we headed in where, everything really IS awesome. It rained still. Lots. We got wet. Lots. But who cares when you're surrounded by yellow ponchos and Lego? The minifigure store ... read more

Aarhus, in the middle of well......our time in Denmark. So The journey this year has begun (I'll get back to last years journey when I get back) We left nottinghamshire just before 12, unusually before expected, even more surprising given that about two hours prior to this, Ash took Jason for his new shoe and a bit of a check then on the way back, rang me with the opening line' are you still at home, theres a bit of a problem, not a big one but needs sorting like now' turns out the garage had noticed a new creeping crack on the windscreen which was getting bigger as the van drove. Great. Two hours before we had to leave and this happens. The insurance company were very helpful despite not being able to fix it ... read more

Geo: 56.1464, 10.2032In Aarhus they have spent about 90 years collecting buildings from various areas of Denmark and reconstructing them on this site in a manner dieting a village (DenGamleBy). There are about 75 buildings dating back as far as the 1500's. Many represented the various trades as well as the wealthier land- holders at the time. We then walked into the central city area and shopping district. Our apartment in quite central so we have managed to leave the car parked today.We ate dinner at the apartment. The local grocery had a deli area and we have kitchen facilities in the apartment. Eating out here tends to be expensive and beer seems to be a staple. Prices on beer and wine are very reasonable in the groceries as is most of the food. Restaurants are ... read more

Geo: 56.1464, 10.2031On the road first thing to get to Legoland. The parking lot was probably about a kilometre from the entrance and there were a lot of people - an understatement. The formal Lego village was great! Amazing buildings and lots of moving trains, cars, boats, etc. Legoland also has an amusement park with lots of rides - very much like a small Disneyland - very busy!Next stop was our apartment rental in Aarhus. It is a very pleasant apartment - unfortunately on the fourth floor! It is close to downtown and the owner arranged for a parking permit because the parking is restricted. The owner is an architect who has also been involved in the design of one of the Lego series. We walked a bit in the neighbourhood including down to the beach ... read more

Kære blog-følgere ! Her er sidste indlæg på vores rejseblog - som har fulgt os gennem hele rejsen, lavet og skrevet mange mærkelige steder og på mange mærkelige pc´ere. Det blev til 23 ugers rejse, 4 kontinenter, 11 lande, 34 flyvninger, badet i 4 oceaner, tilsammen læst 27 bøger på e-reader. Kun 1 langvarig flyforsinkelse, ingen udeblevet bagage, og kun et mindre tyveri fra Mette rygsæk. Lidt reflektioner vi har gjort os på den sidste flyvetur over Atlanten. - for os er verden både blevet større og mindre, større fordi vi med meget mere indsigt i de forskellige lande og kulturer nu har et mere faceteret blik på verden, mindre fordi verden med denne rejseform ikke er så uoverskuelig som man kan synes, den er faktisk "ret let" at rejse rundt i. Så til alle jer ... read more

Take care i Dannevang.... read more
