ok, i put some of the pictures we took in denmark here. the files are large, so be warned they might take awhile to load but the thumbnails should be ok for a quick view.
it was a pretty fun place. the weather was not great but it was ok. we saw some castles, with moats and all. we even went to the castle where hamlet is set. not many vikings, unfortunately. we even went to a viking festival, but it was pretty disappointing. i was looking forward to that.
an interesting thing is that people kept speaking to us in danish, and then we would sort of stare at them and say "we don't speak danish" and they would seem genuinely surprised. its not like we were the only tourists around or anything. so i guess we can pass for danish, if that is a good thing i don't know....
things danes like: ice cream (cones, bars whatever), bicycles, sandals with socks, baby strollers (there were about a million kids, all over, and we only witnessed one tantrum), walking.
things danes don't like: sunglasses (most of the sunglasses-wearers were tourists, no idea why)
the natives didn't seem to think that a high of 60F was cold, but i did. especially because it was also windy. not natural for late june, if you ask me. especially when its daylight for like 20 hours a day. actually, i'm not sure how many hours of daylight there were, except that if i was awake it was daylight. i didn't manage to stay awake past 10 pm any night, i just lost all control of my eyelids and fell asleep. didn't matter where i was, in the bathtub, a chair, the bed, i was out like a light. the jetlag wasn't awful, but then i/we spent hours every day walking around so it was pretty exhausting.
and now, i have to go pack for thailand. next post will be from the tropics!
email me your address if you want a postcard.
