Best Western Torvehallerne Vejle

... the birth of the nation of Denmark. Of course squeezed in LegoLand which is done very well. Folke Ferie house/bungalow in the beach woods at the Middelfart Kursus centre by the fiord overlooking the island of Faeno was very pleasant for kids to play & walk. Overall recommend this little country with a big heart to other travellers with children who want a piece of living history & a relaxed time.

Stayed in Aarhus as our sleep over stop, mainly becasue Billund has no hostels! Didn't do anything on our night there, as it had taken us about 8 hours to make it there from Berlin, many change overs on trains!

Went to Legoland on the second day. It was ace! Though many children running around, & they seem to think that Criel as an amazing city in Scotland. We eventually got water rides, something whcih we have been looking for since we started!

... pickled herring, breadedfish, pork, salmon, cheese and grapes, freshly baked bread, Danish rye bread,liver paste, potatoes and pork, meatballs, and some whipped-cream/chocolatebits/jasmine thing, among others. I tried the liver paste on rye bread for the first time... and it'll probably be the last.  The final leg of the journey was rather slow but I was so glad to have signed up for both the Legoland and rock-climbing trips!! 

... World the ride operators would tell you exactly which cart to be in and where to stand; after maneuvering through the lines at Legoland you got to pick where you wanted to be stationed for a ride. Being an American in this environment initially caused a little anxiety because I was used to being told where to wait, where to stand, and when to get on. At one point in the day we were in the front of the line and hesitated before strolling over ...

... until today when they move to their school accommodations. Thomas is here for 5 months so that he can improve his English. He's in marketing and he believes knowing proper English is a pre-requisite. His other choice was England but he said that there are so many French people there that he'd end up speaking French instead of English. He chose Denmark as it was a country he knew little about and they speak a lot of ...

... drove with him back Fredericia a 2 hour drive. Up till about 10 years ago when they built a bridge you had to take a ferry across '"Store Baelt", which from memory took a couple of hours. Had a drink and a chat with Julia when we got there and then off to bed. Peter had taken the day off so we could spend it together. We started with a walk in the forest. Only a 10 minutes walk from there house, but with Peters sore knee we drove there. We took ...

... den anden side var terminalen, så det havde japanerne nok også selv fundet ud af, men hva'. Jeg fik med det samme øje på mine forældre. Jeg sagde hej til dem og gav dem hver et knus og bagefter et sammen. Jeg var lige ved at begynde at græde og jeg fortalte min mor at jeg havde grædt i bussen, da jeg kørte fra Hamilton i Seoul dengang. Hun svarede at det havde hun kunnet se på mig, at jeg ...

... I especially enjoyed sharing his thoughts about how he can begin to extricate himself from his current job, which although he enjoys it is not what he really loves and is passionate about. Echoes of course of my own corporate role sooo many years ago now - and I am thus always so keen to help in any little way from my own experience, to give friends the confidence to take that seemingly scary jump OUT of the comfort zone, and into ...

Me in DK! My first blog Okay so I have now officially been here for 4 months and, like I'd been warned, I have had my fare share of ups and downs. I have been in my second family only one month but I am so glad for the change. My new host siblings are 17 and 19 so I'm in the middle. It's like living with friends. Since being here I have travelled with my class to København (the capital) and spent 3 days shopping, going to the theatre and just having a good ...

... run by a delightful woman, Karin. Karin is a walking encyclopedia of information about Ribe. Bob also picks up some stamps as well. Karin tells us we can pick up amber on the beaches near where we are going, but we have trouble finding access to the beach, so don't have any amber to bring home. As we continue visiting in Ribe, we climb the tower of the church, shop a little ...
