56°N 10°E: Denmark in a Pea Pod

Another vaycay in another country I know nothing about. The places stepped on were 2 schweet lodgings (cottage and hotel), 3 oosome theme parks, 2 craptastic zoos, and 3 insane historical exhibits; plus, random pitstops along the super highways and a pretty beach. Travel time totaled to over 40 hours, both via cruise and drive. Distance travelled totalled to over 2000km (1243mi); excluding the cruise. Approximately 6 days of fun and partypooping (details follow) in one country, Denmark.

We took a ferry from Oslo, NO to Fredrikshavn, DK. Thank you, Stena Line, for the cute bunk rooms, the Tax-free Shopping, and the pricy Breakfast Buffet. The closed-on-Sundays Disco and the boring C-View Bar, except the drinks, were disappointments.

We stepped away from the itinerary I made and stopped by 3 spots before checking-in at the cottage.

The tip of the iceberg: LEGOLAND! I can't believe I wore heels and carried a duffel bag for a day. (Ch-yeah, it takes a day, even more, to experience the whole thing.) Carrying the bag, I regret, not wearing the heels, JSYK. Although this was the highlight of the trip, I give it 3 out of 5. Disneyland Hong Kong is still way better.

The next day sucked the most. Apart from seeing just ONE place, because of a certain fun-sucker, we wasted hours driving around with no destination in mind and stopped by the most ridiculous excuse of a mall to rest. The best part was getting home.

The next day was pretty cool. The museum was kinda boring but the CASTLE... Now THAT'S what you call a castle! It's like 10 times as big as our house!!! 5 mazes, about 10 gardens, and the landscape...oh my God. The castle interior was a killer. I want a castle to live in, seriously. Not every part was granted access but the study was enough, everything else was just a bonus.

At this point, we were in the middle of Denmark's area of responsibility. Instead of driving back to the cabin, we drove all the way to the east coast, COPENHAGEN! The original plan was make a pitstop at those thingies along the super highway, but we checked-in at a hotel anyways. Thank you, Hotel Niels Juel, for the cable TV, the lovely shower, and the free breakfast.

This time, I was the pissed one. Fun-suckers just don't know when to quit. I'm not talking about me, BTW, I was infected.

ANYWAY, the Tivoli Gardens was/were the main idea. I did NOT want a multi-ride ticket, but was bought one anyways. I did NOT show any interest in riding anything. I seriously did NOT want to. It took about an hour until I was forced to ride a small roller coaster with my brothers. NO challenge. Not even the bigger roller coaster, the drop, and the twisty thingy. I did NOT scream in any of the rides. I left with a smile, though. Prolly coz o'the bumper cars. I guess I enjoyed somehow. We took out some KFC before heading to the cabin.

(Oh right, the Little Mermaid, her ugly twin actually, was there while she was at some expo in China.)

Another thing! There was this long bridge, The Great Belt Bridge (in fact), between Nyborg and Korsør. We wanted a photo op at one end. We got lucky that it was a beach.

On our last day, I felt homesick. I was really excited to go home, especially because we had a sleepover and a trip to the beach waiting for us! I'd love to post photos but the uploading eats up the bandwidth and my dad and brother are already pissed because their game keeps lagging.

AWRYT! IT ENDS HERE!!!
