Our Denmark Road Trip

We had a week before our flight to Prague. We were trying to decided whether to zip to Norway or Sweden - but in the end decided that we'd love to just rent a car and take a roadtrip and see the rest of Denmark since we'd only seen a very small part of it.

We went to this area where there are chalk cliffs at the ocean edge - gorgeous! - stayed in an old country b&b - drove across the huge bridge over to "Fyn" - then on to "Jutland" - up to Arhus for the day & night - love it there! - the next day made our way to the little Port town of Hals - where my great-grandfather is from - this was the main reason we wanted to trip around Denmark - we thought it would be really cool to visit that little town and get some pictures that we could pass on to my grandma & dad. The next 2 night we stayed with Lone's Aunt and Uncle on their farm - super experience to get to "feel" Danish life! Made a day trip to the moving Sandhills (they move about 2 m. a year) - and to Skagen where you can see the waves clashing together from the 2 different bodies of water meeting together at this point. Then all the way back to Copenhagen in one trip - it only takes about 5-6 hours to drive the whole country - spend the night downtown Copenhagen - had lunch the next day with Maria & Tomas - then off to Prague....

And this is the last Denmark post! MAN taking pictures is fun - we get a little carried away when we are both going at it and everywhere is new and so gorgeous! :) Next up : PRAGUE


























Hals : Perhaps the reason I love the rainy coast so much....is because it's in my blood! Such a cool little town & as if by fate, we found our possible "dream" house ;)

I have really enjoyed viewing your photos. They are gorgeous and really tell the story of your travels. If I had to pick my favorite out of this bunch it would be DSC_0344. Your expression is so beautiful and the photo is superb. I also love DSC_0470. Wishing you a great weekend and rest of the trip!
