If has anyone noticed, I've been away the past week, on a trip to the exotic country of Denmark, home of the red pølse and Lego. For those who like reading then here's a long scripture of what I've been doing and whre I've been during my holiday. Not interested? Then simply exit the thread
Day 1
In the afternoon we went to our cousins in Malmö to celebrate our youngest cousin's (in Sweden. Got the youngest one in Brazil) birthdayparty. Instead of leaving in the evening, as we usually do, we slept there over the night, scattered in the house. Me and my brother (aka The Forest Man) in the basement, mom and my youngest brother in the guestroom, my sister in my cousin's room and dad in a room alone - because he snores, and because he's got great pain in the back.
Day 2
We woke up early and had a quick breakfast before getting in the car and driving to Denmark. First over the Öresund Bridge, then the other bridges and onto Jylland, the mainland. Had a stop at McDonalds for lunch and then headed away again, for Billund and Legoland. We arrived at a camping and had to wait a little less than an hour before we could get access to the cottage. The cottage was very small - one tiny kitchen combined with a small table and chairs, and two small rooms with beds for five people. I slept in the bottom right corner, pushed in between a ladder to the bed above me where my brother slept. With aprroximately one meter to the roof of my bed, the bottom of the other one, I smashed my head several times.
Finally at Legoland, for the third time in my life, we went to pretty much everything. The structures here are amazing, amde up of millions of millions of legopieces. It's a marvelous sight, with cars, airplanes and skyscrapers made in legopieces, ships and castles, japanese buildings and the Göta Channel, and lots of other fantastic creations! The rollercoasters are another thing, of which I liked the canoes best (I'm afraid if heights)
Day 3
The second day in Legoland, and today the rain saved us from enourmous quees. The rain poured down pretty much all the time, driving off many of the visitors. It was a gentle rain most of the time, so we could still enjoy eveyrthing in there. The 4D movie "Spellbreaker" was great. With legomen made in 3D, and with the 3D-glasses' effects making object flying outside the screen, and winds, snow, lighting and heat coming from the effects, it was a true pleasure to watch, for anyone of any age.
After a whole day at Legoland we went back to our cottage and enjoyed good danish bread and ham, before going to bed, hearing my dad snoring the walls off
Day 4
We left Legoland and Billund after having a painrich for breakfast, and headed for Sæby, in the northern part of Denmark. The youth hostel we stayed at looked like a remade sports arena, and it was quite low-class. It was coazy, but the kitchen was a mess and the beds weren't all too comfortable.
This first day we wandered about in the center of Sæby, looking at restaurants and walking into shops and such. Then we headed home, had some dinner, a low-budget pizza from some cheap place, and went to bed.
Day 5
Today we went to Skagen, the most northern city in Denmark. We went to museums and the sanddrowned church, a church with only the tower left above surface. The rest is covered in sand. We had a great dinner at an italian restaurant, who served marvelous, chili-spiced pizzas, and went for a walk in town.
We finally went to grenen, where the two oceans - Kattegatt in the east and Skagerrak in the west - meet, with waves crashing into each other. It was a beautiful site, and you could stand with one foot in each ocean. We stayed here for two hours, then went home.
Day 6
The last day of the vacation. We went "downtown" Sæby once again, walking throughout most of the town. There were lots of small shops and museums to enter. My favourite it the Rav Sliberi Museum, the Amber Polishing Museum (which sounds like something completely different in swedish). They had jewelry made of amber, and an arsenal of small polished stones for people to buy. I bought a tigereye, a golden and black stone that shifts colours when you turn on it.
Had dinner at an italian/mexican restaurant and the continued roaming the town. I bought a swedish book, in english, called The Long Ships, or Orm the Red, by Frans G Bengtsson. I'm reading the original, swedish version, and I wanted the english one as well. I really reccomend it to everyone, and so does lots of others as well - both people I know and those who wrote the comments about the book, like Anders Östling, and reviewers from New York Times and the Daily Telegraph
Day 7
Being today, we went home via ferry from Fredrikshavn. It took two hours to get to Göteborg (Gothenburg), and well there we went to a brazilian shop (Casa Brazil) and bought some brazilian brown beans and Antarctica Guarana, the best drink in the world, one of the few soft drinks not owned by the Coca Cola Company! We then went to a toyshop, and to a gamestore before leaving for home. A little less than two hours we went by car down to Scania and Tyringe, bought some food sicne our fridge had been emptied before we left, and then home to eat even more danish bread, which we bought in Sæby.
So overall it was a good vacation. Short but very enjoyable. I wish I could put up some pictures, but I dont have the camera accesible right now. I might add some later.
Well, that's it.
