Thursday, July 23, 2026 New shoes came to the front door for Keith today. We really like color around here. I think he needs yellow socks.

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 It was almost a very standard morning from hotel to plane. It was all good until we were almost ready to get onto the plane. “The entertainment system on this flight will not be available. It is not working.” I actually didn’t panic, but I did wonder about changing to tomorrow’s

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 We didn’t even see any Danish. Breakfast at all of our hotels seemed to be very savory oriented – no sweet pastries at all. Anyway, we flew back to Amsterdam this evening and are ready to go home tomorrow. Ready? Hmmm. Packed? Yes. We headed toward Odense, Denmark, this morning. It

Monday, July 20, 2026 Last night, Keith mapped our route for today. He found 8 trolls, our northern destination in Skagen, and back to Vandel for our hotel would take 9.5 hours of driving. We figured we’d have to add time to find and visit the trolls, stop for food, and time in Skagen. We

Sunday, July 19, 2026 We got up for hotel breakfast (no danish. No sweet pastry at all. Weird) then crawled back in bed. We are staying right downtown Aarhus so we can walk around and see the cool. Keith mentioned there is an art museum with a big glass rainbow thing on the roof we

Saturday, July 18, 2026 We left our little apartment and headed for the rune stones of Jelling. Outlets here seem happy. Driving through Denmark is very pretty. We are usually the only car on the road until we actually get to a town. Then there are as many as 3 or 4 cars. King Gorm

Friday, July 17, 2026 We just woke up around 7am. Alarm wasn’t until 8! We must be adjusting to this time zone. I had a burst of brilliance and suggested we look for laundry facilities. Found: right down the hall. We washed a few things and we are set for the rest of the trip.

Thursday, July 16, 2026 Last year, I read that there was a Lego display based on the Yellow House at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. We were flying through Amsterdam and I considered changing our flight so we could visit the museum. I checked the dates it would be there and read that when

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 The best part of breakfast was the hagelslag I found. Hagelslag is a Dutch word for chocolate sprinkles, which the people around there put on buttered bread. I just took the sprinkles because they are so incredibly cute in their tiny little box. We said goodbye to everyone heading back to

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 Just after 3am I woke up rolling downhill toward the floor. We made our room reservations with twin beds for this trip, because it is cooler and European A/C isn’t always quite as cold as we like. My mattress somehow fell off the bedsprings – the nightstand kept it all from
