Gone soft in Denmark

Ahh yes, the van of ill-health became too much for us (well for the ill part of ‘us’ which was everyone except me) and we took the soft option in Denmark by staying in accommodation without wheels.  Actually in Copenhagen we took an option so soft it came with a bath   We absolutely loved Copenhagen but sadly we only spent a few hours there and again the best sightseeing we could muster was a bus tour around the city (and even then hubby slept for half of it).  It is definitely on my list of places to revisit one day.

Here are my cheeky monkeys in front of the Little Mermaid:

And here’s the Legoland version!

That’s right – we could only spend an afternoon in Copenhagen because we had to rush off to the far more important Legoland. Actually with my trusty tour organiser so sick we worked out far too late that Legoland is in fact nowhere near Copenhagen which in part explains our short stay. If anyone has ever wondered where Legoland is then I would say imagine heading for the end of the earth, and then stopping a few hours before you get there. When we did in fact get there, after what seemed like weeks of driving, and saw a few odd Lego creations outside the front of a deserted entrance gate on a summery 14 degree day in the rain, hubby and I got a little nervous about the wisdom of our treck. Thankfully Legoland turned out to be every bit as good as we had hoped, and honestly just seeing the smile on Hamish’s face would have been enough. Here are a few photos of the little man and his lovely grin:

There are no pictures of Zoe smiling because she managed to develop a fever the morning we arrived and she hardly made it out of the pram that first day. She rallied for the second day which was good timing as the driving rain also stayed away the second day and we had a great time.

After a full day at Legoland we got into the van and drove back to Germany where we have stopped shortly on our way to Amsterdam. More updates soon!
