While we were loading the houseboat I saw a lady on the dock I
recogonized. It was Lousie from Winter Park and she was also setting
sail today with Graham, Heidi and family. It looks like you missed
this trip Allison but I'm sure you are doing something equally cool.
Good job Jeff. This boat rocks.

Besides the pickpocket, my trip was great. Denmark and Sweden are
great countries and I would love to come back. But if I plan to ride
my bike or camp I will wait till summer. We were super lucky and
experienced the warmest, sunniest and driest weather Denmark and
Sweden have seen in 100 years. And today as we prepare to leave the
weather is cool and overcast for the first time in a week.
The lack of useless gift shops is ironic and maybe a fitting
farewell. I don't know if it was hard to find gift shops and tshirt
shops because summer wasn't yet here or because it's something the
Danes and Swedes don't do compared to Americans. I think it's the
latter but either way I hit the airport hoping to find a tshirt and
some other gifts. But to my surprise I couldn't even find a gift
store at the airport.
Instead the international departure terminal was full of alcohol,
perfume, clothes and even a nice lingere display. Why worry about
worthless junk when you can look and feel good with good drinks and
nice clothes.
Hi Hi, Maan Tak (goodbye, thank you very much)
Thanks Katrine for the tour and worlds best hot dog.
I didn't know what Legoland would be like for an adult but I thought
it was awesome and so did many other people of all ages. Legoland
itself is a combination theme park and model brick heaven. Everything
is based on Legos and if possible made from Legos, including life size
people and minature cities.
My favorite part was the minature cities. Using cities from around
the world, the Lego engineers would reproduce cityscapes in Legos.
Just that in itself was awesome because some of the cityscapes were
huge and included millions of Legos. But the Lego engineers even
brought the cities alive by incorporating sound and moving Lego
trains, ships, cars... One of the most impressive things was a series
of ship locks in which ships were raised or lowered as they moved
between cities.
So what's my conclusion. Legoland is a MUST SEE!!!
