We went to Denmark for ten days, visiting old friends and playing tourists. It was Jokull Logi's first trip abroad, at the age of 6 weeks. Two of his older sisters were even younger when they went abroad for the first time, only eight and ten days old. Our youngest daughters first international flight wasn't until she was three weeks old though.
Denmark is a very family friendly country, but as the course of your Euro is, it’s not the cheapest one these days. We lived in Denmark for 6 years and wtayed at a friends house. There are not many friends that both can and are willing to invite a family of 7 into their home for 10 days. Thanks, dear friends. They even had a car with seven seats that we could borrow once in a while.
Copenhagen is very easy to get around without a car. The buses drive every 5 minutes on all major routes and they have an excellent train system. So a car is unnecessary in Copenhagen but may come in handy if you’re planning on visiting some of theme parks that are to be found on every other corner in Denmark. You see, there is not much to attract tourists in Denmark – nature wise. They have no mountains to climb, no gorges to cross and no rivers to sail. But they have a history and additional to that, they have created a number of great theme parks, some of them the oldest in the world. The most famous of them is Legoland which can now be found in Germany, UK and the US as well. We didn’t visit Legoland this time though, but we weren’t bored. Not at all. In the next few days I’ll posting some of our adventures in Denmark.
