Quick weekend in Svendborg, Denmark!

- We spend a quick weekend on Fyn and stay in a wonderful AirBnB just outside of Svendborg on the island of Tåsinge.
We caught boats finishing the Silver Rudder race, explored Danmarks Museum for Lystsejlads, and walked around the shore of Thurø. Brisket had an absolute blast!! It was a nice and relaxing weekend.

So delightful!
Brisket seemed to really enjoy himself.
:)
Those crates are highly collectable. My dad has quite a few and he keeps some of his vinyl records in them. They are called "Øl kasser" (beer crates). You can usually find them at second hand stores, thrift markets (loppe markeder) or even online. Some are more rare than others. The best thing would be to go to a second hand store or a thrift market - otherwise the crates can be very expensive. I know you are located on Sjælland, so I don't know the go to place there. But there's a store that I like to go visit in Vejle whenever I'm there, called "Fundstedet". So if you ever come to Vejle I'd recommend taking a look there.
(Edit: there might be a place called "Blå Kors" on Sjælland, where you might be able to find some crates. I remember seeing some in the Blå Kors store in my hometown.)
Nice to see you really enjoyed your stay in Svendborg. The SB crates are from the now closed down Svendborg Bryghus , or Svendborg Brewery. You really nailed the pronunciation of "hygge". Keep traveling and stay young.
What a nice and calming video, thank you guys so much! Looking forward to the livestream
A trick to see Delle is to wait for the Ærøfærge to leave Svendborg. Just wait near the ferry and you’ll see him 😉
Svendborg aqua vitae, not to be forgotten... 😆🍻
Really nice video, thanks - I guess Brisket just loves hearing the magic sound of his tiny feet galloping all over those echoing floor boards? 🤗
Wow, pronouncing "hygge" exactly correct - I am really impressed 🤗
Not very many English speaking folks have mastered that one yet, even though this word has recently been borrowed into British English ( after the success of several Danish TV series in Britain during the past decade ).
It usually becomes pronounced [ hoog-ga ] or [ hug-gaa ] or similar instead in English (🙄), even though Old English actually did have this "Scandinavian" y-vowel - for instance in the word "sky" = cloud (!!!), which it still means in Danish etc.
Or borrowed back into English, I should say, since OE did have the verb "hycgan", meaning "to think / reflect on things / recall", which was also the original meaning in Older Danish and Norwegian ( from Old Norse ).
Couple goals
Tåsinge's pride, Valdemars Slot is worth a trip if/when you visit Svendborg & area again
The place where Elvira Madigan and Sixten Sparre commited suicide is also worth a visit (beautiful walk in the woods)and their last resting place in Skt Jørgens churchyard...
If you want to see a romantic movie, Elvira Madigan is a doozy!! 💕
hello from Hundested 🌸🌱
It is actually called Valdemars Slot.
Joshua, Mirinda, Maya and Brisket. U make my every daily day complete. I adore u. Keep up the splendid work! I hope u stay here forever. And ps, Maya, force your friends to spreak danish to you, u already nailed the fluency, the grammer we couldnt care less about (ull get there eventually)! Get told in danish, reply in danish, and within a year, ull happily speak danish instead of english with your closest friends, trust me! (Sorry mom and dad, u are obviously doing insanely good as well, but your daughter is slamming it! As a saying in danish, "its hard to learn an old dog new tricks" its prolly gonna be a greater challange for u, but keep in mind, we dont care! Grammer or what not! Can u communicate, its good) It might sound offensive in it self calling u "old dogs", but thats not the case! U are doing brilliantly! Congratulations on the second module finished! I should go to bed, just got home from a party and its like 06.00, and i dont feel like im coming out the right way! xD (What i mean is that Maya is a sponge and she'll pick up the rest rly quick, if she kinda force her friends :P)
One of the most beautifully located towns in Denmark.
You should come back to Svendborg on a Saturday, and you’ll see a completely different city. The market on the town square is lovely 😊
I hope my husband & I still go on adventures like this together when we're you're age 😊 Have you ever done a video on you two's relationship? Would love to hear your backstory together! It takes a very strong relationship to move to another country together, travel together, etc
We haven't done a video about our relationship yet though I guess we could some day! We got married super young (even by American standards). Josh had just turned 24 and I was 21. It's definitely not a path for everyone and people who get married so young often don't stay together. We have been very lucky though. We have been a team right from the start and have been together 23 years. He's the planner and I'm the runner (to get things) and we both enjoy and embrace those "roles" in our relationship. As for travel, we have always traveled and love doing that together. It also helps that we both love the same kind of travel (where you visit eleventy billion churches and museums wherever you go :D). Our honeymoon was to Egypt in the days before internet travel planning was really a thing. We decided if we could survive that we could survive anything! - M
@@TravelinYoung Oh wow, thanks so much for that thoughtful reply! I can so relate - I was 21, husband was 23 when we got married 🤭 Definitely agree that it's not for everyone but we've also found what "roles", as you say, work for us, which helps. Great you two have so many shared hobbies, including working on this channel 😊
@@TravelinYoung Heh is that young? I was married at 20 (almost 21 though) and hubby's 8 years older than me. It didn't feel early at all. When you know, you know. We've been married for 35 years now :)
And the old guy :P is starting his retirement next week ...
Are you guys going to do a collab video at some point? Erin and the Youngs?
Brisket seemed to enjoy Svendborg 🤗
7:09 This is a beer box. It holds 50 standard 33 cl beer bottles. They were very heavy when full. SB most likely means Svenborg Bryggeri. They were replaced with plastic frames some time in my childhood. The new frames, still used, hold only 30 bottles. They are much easier to lift. I remember this well, being a grocer's son.
It was Svendborg Bryghus. Famous for its Bock beer. It was taken over by Albani Brewery, and closed around 1986-1989.
Hej Youngs. 😁
Vil i være søde, at skrive hvilken musik, i har brugt i jeres film.
Jazz-nummeret i jeres Svendborg "tour",
var helt fantastisk.
Det er rart at opleve Danmark fra en udlændings øjne. Tak, tak. 🤗
Josh, considering you don't like the Great Nightmare Bridge, you seem to be crossing it a lot ;)
It's not *that* much larger than the Golden Gate Bridge, you know. Doesn't it degrade to a mere dream eventually? I work there and I know the guard rails will hold - and then it's just a small hill on the motorway.
Anyway, great video as always. Keep it up, guys :)
Only by around 25 % 😉
Lystsejlads, heheh… You are good sports - provided a wholesome chuckle 😄
Hyggelig video fra Svendborg - thank you, Youngs! Wonderful town, people are very friendly there. I was trying hard not to be all envious - because I live in Odense, but then you said there’s gonna be a video on Odense too, so now I’m looking forward to that, although I know Odense is both dirtier and busier, especially on weekdays! My great grandfather was born in Svendborg, he became a blacksmith and settled in Ringe, in between Svendborg and Odense.
Was right in front of you joshua. In fakta today ! Love your Channel 🙏
Ha, you should have said hello! :). Thanks!
I enjoy your videos every time.
I also admire the fact that you conquer your fear of the Bridge when driving to Fyn and Jylland. I don't know for sure how many vehicles have fallen off, but I'm guessing it's close to zero, so you should be okay.
Thinking, since you love beer the both of you, might be a good idea to reach out to 'Danske ølentusiaster', and join them for their Tour De Biere (35 beer places in 8 days)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh this is dangerous information :D - M
@@TravelinYoung I've seen them once while on vacation in Denmark and they looked like they had a lot of fun.
Love you
Also,u should visit Ringsted at some point. We have the first cahtederal built in bricks, and the second most royals burried, the first being Roskilde Domkirke. A city under rapid development!
It IS a nightmare bridge...LOL. I un-voluntarily, changed lanes near that first span. Scared me. I was ready for the second though!
Josh... you'll end up liking the nightmare bridge with the number of times you guys are crossing it :D
Very nice soundtrack to your good video from Svendborg :-)
You were in svendborg?? 😳 god daaaaang it 😅
would've loved to meet you guys 🥲💕
Feel the same way....
My Dad was born here
It is a very nice town
Jump to 9:46 to see the actual town. This is a video about a boat museum and the place they are staying, only last 3 minutes are in town.
I probably won't be able to watch the live stream live, as it's on my birthday ;) So I'll just watch it afterwards, probably at Miranda's birthday then. So in advance: Happy Birthday to Miranda and as always, it's great to see your videos and watch you seeing parts of Denmark, many Danes haven't even bothered to visit :D
Josh: boats 😂😂😂😂😂 Jeg føler med dig.
Question for the live stream, Sunday evening:
(This question is for all of you 🙂)
What are your current long-term plans for staying in Denmark? Do you want to keep living here, or do you want to try another part of the world? Or maybe even move back to the States again?
And for Maya too of course, when she moves out at some point, to start her own adult life and career?
And it Maya wants to find a good place to rent when she does move out, make sure to be written up to several renting places. And do it sooner rather than later.
The wait times can be very long in the greater Copenhagen area.
Both for student housing and for normal apartments...
Loose salad.. looseslad - Lyslad! :D :D Lystsejlads. Say it fast 3 times haha ;) Btw. Danes just say "klokken 8" (Eight a clock) and ad "om aftenen/om morgenen" if theres any doubt when we´re talking about :)
My home town💚
How cool you went to Svendborg. And I can see that you crossed the small bridge to Thurø. I could recognize the woods from your walk with Brisket 🙂 (I have lived here my whole life). Did you go to Smørmosen and play minigolf (or just see the course)?
Hope you enjoyed our small island. I have been told that it is the second most populace/km² island in Denmark. Only Amager is denser populated 🙂.
Did you visit “Svendborgsund Bryghus”, when you went looking for beer? They make amazing beer and lemonade and have a nice collaboration with other local producers of food, sweets and alcoholic beverages 😊
You should do a tasting video of some of their beers 🍻 🇩🇰
hej i am danish but live in the philippins 14 years now ,i dont know if it still is in assens on fyn ,any more but if you like try to look in to fulton (a ship) i think you like it :)
i was on it 1985-1989
I have a question for you: if the Great Belt Bridge triggers your akrophobia, how do you like the Vejle Fjord Bridge?
I live in Svendborg!
I think we need to team up with Norway and build a brige across Skagerrak, just so Josh can get to conquer that fear too...
Hi! Loving the videos. My wife is from Silkeborg, I’m from a couple hours south of Chicago, in Indiana where we live…but we live in Aarhus 1 month out of the year every year (we are here now actually). Would love to know what brought you guys to Denmark? Do you have a video on that?
We are at CEST and not CET. At the moment.
Great videos. Any plans on visitering Bornholm anytime ? :)
I am living in Svendborg.
You were at Lystbådemuseet? How cool is that? :-) Then you must have seen the special "Havnens Frie Fugle"-exhibit they're having at the moment. And you must have seen my contribution. I made two portraits for that exhibit. The exhibit focuses on the harbour's people of the past.
Yes! Did you do the portrait of the boy who robbed the ships and then I think it was one of a woman? They were very nice :)
@@TravelinYoung Yes, Ta'. Gustav and Johanne. :-) Photos were not available so the museum asked me to interpret them both from descriptions.
how to thin in bo work in Denmark? how much do you spend in speaking / reading Danish today? only in good things you and stay in Denmark? what is the most difficult thing you have to experience when moving to Denmark? greetings Michael the happy from Jutland.
Many people from Jutland call Sjælland the Devil Island (Djævleøen), so we call Storebæltsbroen the Devil Bridge (Drævlebroen), at least in my social circle... I don't know if that's a tad more blasphemous than the nightmare bridge, but still funny how two similar names come from separate reasons
Regarding the Danish 'hygge'.
Are you guys starting to get a real feeling what it's all about?
Gengbrugsbutikker kan have de finde trækasser :D
You seem to struggle with the 24h clock. In Danish we'd say "klokken 20" so I think that you could just say "20 o'clock" in English and not sound too awkward. Anyway, people still use 12h format in daily speech in Denmark, but we use "om natten/morgenen" if it's AM and "om eftermiddagen/aftenen" when it's PM...
Which gets me to think about what's most difficult to understand about AM/PM as a Dane when learning the system... Why does it go from 11AM to 12PM and vice versa? Then it's just easier to learn how to count to 23.
Edit: my English teacher taught me to say good morning, before noon, good day, until 6, and good evening between 6 and bedtime, when it's good night. But what to say if you're out late and want to greet a passerby at 02:30? In Danish we just roll back and say good evening, until the sunrise comes.
It's act. from Latin -
AM = Ante Meridiem ( before mid-day ),
PM = Post Meridiem ( after / past (!) midday ).
The "Danish" / Continental European ( and US military! 😅 ) system makes it a lot easier to figure out how long some activity will take, or when you will arrive, if the clock happens to pass midday during your activity or travel. ( just count on from 12 / noon - and then subract 12, if you absolutely need to 😉).
@@Bjowolf2 I know the origin of AM/PM it just seems silly to go 10AM 11AM 12PM... Call it 0PM if you must. But having 2 counting systems that are not in sync... That's just silly.
@@BenjaminVestergaard Ah, now I see, what you mean, yes 😉
Many people also think AM means After Midnight btw. 😅
@@Bjowolf2 yes, after midnight, past midday... Good way to remember.
But it bothers me that 12 seems such an odd hour in that system.
Love you
