I took my wife and kids there two weeks ago. The biggest takeaway for me was how genuinely friendly people were. Even the border guards let my 5 year old stamp our passports. Denmark is recommended by me! 🇩🇰
Dane here. Fun fact: The guards at Amalienborg is top trained soldiers. They look goofy and harmless but they don't mess around. They will take action if a situation arises. 🤫
Fun to see the family visit Copenhagen, sorry it was in the middle of the winter. This is when Copenhagen is in hibernation, if you come in the spring or summer, the city is a lot more fun and the kids can go swim in the harbour, visit Tivoli etc.
Thank you so much for coming the long way to our little country. I am incredibly proud to be a Dane. I am so happy to hear your reviews about our capital and the things it can offer. next time you are here. then come and visit Jutland. Best regards, Michael
Thank you so much for visiting our beautiful country. I think that Denmark are most beautiful in spring and summer. Our winter can be very grey.. Come back another time. Sweet family :)
I'm from Denmark and have visited Copenhagen a few times. To be honest, I also think it's awesome, but I find it challenging because of my social anxiety. What I loved most about the video is when you guys visited the museum because it was filled with information about the history and vikings that was so cool! I would also suggest visiting the Moesgaard Museum, which is a huge place with a mix of histories. I may travel to Copenhagen this year and the zoo is such a lovely place and also because it has pandas, one of my favorite animals. also, the area where the queen is are really cool because guards are keeping it secure and there is various music playing there. Also, when we were in Copenhagen, my mother asked to see the Little Mermaid, but I refused because I was too exhausted from walking every day. But, I may consider the next time when we travel together because I keep thinking about it. I hope you all had a great time in Copenhagen.
This is what we love! When our visitors from United States of America, takes their kids with them here!! (Especially when they are so well behaved!! Kudos!)
super cute narration from the kids too, happy you enjoyed Copenhagen Edit: If you want to know more about the artist who did the drawings of the kings and queens, his name is Jesper Ejsing and he is my favorite artist, he paints a lot of fantasy art for Magic the Gathering and has done work for Dungeons of Dragons aswell as World of Warcraft.
The guy in the clock in Amsterdam airport was actually filmed with a real artist painting on each time segment and took 12 hours to complete. So in a way, it isn’t fake😃 Great video as well!
Hey. Please come see os again. 😊 next trip goes too the north of Denmark. Visit Fårup sommerland. 😊 your kids gonna love it. 😊hope too see you all soon. 🇩🇰🇺🇸
You should try Denmark in the summer - everything just get different with the sun! It's like magic how you will experience the change. Try to start in Copenhagen then Odense, Billund (Legoland), Aarhus and end in Skagen (walk the dunes of Raabjerg Mile and set you feet where the two seas meet) . ❤️ Your family look so great - nice to see.
I'm danish an i have never been in Copenhagen.! Not worth it for me. Denmark has alot to offer. Pretty much anywhere! Alot of history. Buildings. Cool stuff all over. And yeah a much visit is Legoland Billund! Then Screw Copenhagen 😆😵 haha. Egeskov Slot. Big castle museum 🏰 Ribe oldest city in Scandinavia. This is just my favourites 😃 but there's plenty too look at. It would take many trips. To descover it all. Many many years.
As a Dane, I'm happy that you had a nice trip to Copenhagen :) A year ago, my son was actually one of the Royal Life Guards, guarding Amalienborg, Rosenborg and other places. You mentioned the train trip to the "LEGO area" ... it is in Billund, where the second largest airport is. And of course the original LEGOland is there.
That's so great! What an honor for your son. Another viewer mentioned the Queen doesn't stay in Amalienborg.. any idea who's there when the flags are raised?
@@wildgooselife The Guards are always there. But when the band is part of the changing, it's the so called "kongevagt". That, and the Royal flag, shows that HM the Queen was at the Castle.
@@wildgooselife She resides many places, but Amalienborg is home. By resides I mean like staying at other castles during the year, like in the summer where she resides at Marselisborg in Århus, our 2nd largest city. Or on her yacht while traveling the Kingdome (Greenland and farao islands are part of the Danish Kingdome) and visiting parts of Denmark that isn't close to where she would otherwise reside or live. She also have a chateau in France where she visited a lot with her late husbond (who was French) - I dont know how often she has been since his passing - but she could if she wanted too. So yeah, she lives at Amalienborg, but has been (or is) traveling a lot and thereby not always "home" =)
@@MontyDK1 And the mounted statue in the middle of Amalienborg, is one of the finest ever made, by a French artist, J. Saly, whom it took a very long time to make it!
Thank you for visiting my amazing country. Sounds like you had a wonderful time here. Denmark is way better in the summer, but I'm glad you enjoyed it this time in the year! I'm looking forward to your next video. :)
Love the video and just subscribed! You should do a video introducing your family, who you are, and why you’re traveling!! I love your style but I want to know about you all as well!
Thanks for the great video. I am from Denmark and somehow got your video in my feed. You have showed alot in a short time and it was some great views of my country. 😁 Thanks and you edit the videos perfectly.
Im from Denmark and live like 30 minutes outside of Copenhagen and I still get suprissed if im going on a trip to see some places in Copenhagen there is just THAT much to discover
Wauw, really great travel vlog! And AWESOME editing! I'm from Denmark and live in Aarhus. I've been to Copenhagen more times than I can count, but this made me wat to go again :)
I'm only about five minutes into this video but excellent editing! Really a cut above most UA-cam videos. This makes me interested in downloading some video editing software. Bravo.
Hey Im from denmark and i Think you guys filmed some amazing things about the country. I loved the viking thing at denmarks national museum and ive been there to👍
Hope you enjoyed the trip. My wife and I is married at the Yellow "castle" in Frederiksberg Garden. There's a church inside as well. And a bonus info - it's the military academy of Denmark and been it for a couple of hundred of years. 🥳
Speaking as a Dane, if you decide to return you should definitely go in the summer time. Copenhagen transforms during the summer, completely different experience.
You guys are, I wanna say extremely cool, but I'll just say, cool. You have something special between you, that comes through in a way taht is so nice, it's, well, extremely cool. I'm not gonna put my finger on it, it'll only turn out to be my foot like in a dream, so, nice cool, nice cutting, nice everything. Good!
Next time. Visit Legoland Billund. The first Legoland ever of cause... Im a Dane. And I have never been in København. Haha. The rest of Denmark is better in my opinion. There's alot of things too look at. In our small country. Pretty much anywhere 😃 There's many awesome museum. Old castles. Other fun parks. Great stuff.
Glad to see you had a great time in my country, the video was well done. Estonia is the place where our flag fell down to us from the sky, during a battle "thats the legend anyways" and fun fact, the Danish flag is the oldest in the world.
Viking ship, not boat😉 And open faced sandwiches is the traditional norm here in Scandinavia. We don’t really use the word sandwich either unless the American style one. I’m Norwegian and we eat so much bread as well as being the nr. 1 coffee drinking country int he world apparently. We don’t have free food or hot meals in schools, so the norm is to bring your own lunch/lunch box, and it’s usually bread, and condiments aka the open faced sandwich. But now days many has cafeterias where they sell or make baguettes, buns etc. Or if you live in the big city, you just go to the nearest Deli, 7/11 or grocery store and buy your lunch.
Well, actually. The elephants represent Jackobsens children. He had 8. 4 died, 4 survived. The survivors got an elephant each, and the dead ones got their own bell in the Jesus church. Absolutely beautiful church, and the bells are still in use as far as I know. I am not saying that what you said was wrong, but this is the story I’ve been told by a Carlsberg employee.
Thanks for sharing! That's what we heard as well.. we did a follow up video last week with a little more about what we learned. Didn't know about the bells though. Thanks for watching!!
Glad to see that you had a good time in Copenhagen! If you ever return to visit again, may I suggest go to the 'mainland' (Jylland) to visit Aarhus (Amusement park, Aros (Museum), Den Gamle By (Outdoors museum'), then trail down to Billund (Lego main office and factory, as well as Legoland amusement park), and if you are into Vikings, then further down, Ribe, one of the oldest cities in Denmark, (with a grand Viking museum, and sometimes open-air market).
And also the old Warship, Jylland, built in 1860 and preserved in what looks like a drydock. It fought with honors at "The Battle of Helgoland" and defeated a Prusian/Austrian Fleet by that.
The Viking ship in the National Museum is the longest and largest ever found! It was found by accident, digging a new "Viking Harbour" to the side of "Ship Museum" in Roskilde, with the famous 5 ships, which was found as a barrier in the fiord. Its keel is full length, so we know how long it was. And we have more Roman swords found in Denmark, as sacrifices, than in the rest of the Roman Empire at all!!
At several places an Iron Age army has invaded Denmark and became beaten. At Nydam on Als their ships was taken to the moor and many weapons became sacrificed to Holy Powers in the moor! As also in Illerup to the north. It was insane amounts of valuable weapons which became bent and ruined before the sacrifices! But for a good reason. The locals had won!! And I suppose they kept a lot of the good stuff?
Sadly the mostly well preserved ship from Nydam moor became stolen by the Germans after the lost 1864 war and it is now exhibited at Gottorp in Germany!
You guys should really return to Denmark sometime in the summer and visit Jylland rent a vacation home visit our beautiful west coast beachs see the old ww2 bunkers. Visit Legoland or other amusement parks. Me and my girlfriend is living in Denmark, and we have a plan to travel across Denmark with bus to see the landscape and visit all the different towns all the way from Ribe (syd Jylland) to Aalborg (nord Jylland)
Thanks for visiting Denmark, and please come again, Copenhagen is cool but the rest of Denmark has a lot to offer too, so glad you guys liked Copenhagen tho :0)
And the Guards hats are made from a bears fur. And The Mermaid is the size of a mermaid, of course! And she has travelled to China some years ago. How many countries has the Statue of Liberty visited?
By the way, I was a Tambour in the Royal life guard, and today i live just aside Nyhavn. And your are right, Denmark is amasing. The same is your country. For the last 12 years, i have a vercation in your country,.
Great video and I'm so glad you enjoyed our "little" country😀 But, if I can give you some pointers on places when you come back. Yes, copenhagen is our capital and is filled with history. But you mentioned Vikings. There's is Ribe, that was the first viking settlement here, Roskilde was a big trading city and later, burial site for our former kings and queens. We have the "old city" in Aarhus that dates back hundreds of years and is still standing. We have kronborg castle in Helsingør where i'm from, where Holger the dane, or Holger Danske, sits in the tombs waiting to fight if Denmark is invaded again. We have several viking museums all over Denmark and several churches going back ages, in Roskilde, Viborg, Aarhus, helsingor, Ribe. If you cime back, don't just limit it to copenhagen, if you wanna see danish history😉
(Fact about the rundetaarn) People actually used to jump off the building thinking they would survive, though that was like a million years ago. Yeah.. I'm pretty sure they did not have a fence. I'm not sure about this fact, but you could always search it up if you're curios.
Glad you enjoyed it, shame you chose this time of year though. Mind you, Copenhagen is the most "international" place in Denmark - and thereby, by default, the least "Danish".
While we actually haven't made it to Billund yet, from everything we read on blogs it's better to buy tickets online in advance rather than at the gate.. which is most likely what we would do. www.legoland.dk/en/tickets-passes/tickets/
When the train conductor has press the button to close the door, they can't stop the process as far as I have been told and that's why they didn't stop
@@wildgooselife But not really why or the truth. The Metro are a automated driverless train. Had you put your hand in the door it would have stopped, opened a bit, but not fully, before attempting to close again. Time lost would be won by a higher speed to next stop. Although you got separated I guess it were not for long. I do not know exact time between Metro´s going to the airport (guess it are a few minutes) but the Metro´s city ring are departing every 2 to 4 minutes 24/7 so no need to learn any timetable. I do not know if you used this option, but if you buy a 24 hour ticket, you can take as many trips you want for 80 Danish Kroner per head. You can buy it at the airport, the 24 hours do not start when you buy the ticket, but when you first time bleep yourself in for first trip. Btw. Great to see that some frisky temperatures, did not seem to prevent you from having a great time here. Welcome back another time. If it are summertime then consider renting a bike, can be done via a simple app on your phone that unlocks the bike. If you want a less urban day then, I can recommend my own favourite beach, "Amager Strandpark". 15 minutes -ish from downtown Copenhagen,
@@Mike-zx1kx This is great info!! We took advantage of a 48 hour metro pass near the end of our trip, and it worked really well for us. Your info is fantastic and we wish we'd known going into the trip because we definitely made the mistake of buying 1-time-use tickets the first time we bought -and regretted it. 🫤 Thanks for the information! 😊
@@wildgooselife My pleasure, you are welcome. I thought so well of your video, that I also just watched the next one from Tallinn. I got to say, I suspect you have some Viking DNA in you! I am referring to your comments about history but also, not least, the winter bathing! It are an old tradition, not only in Scandinavia/the Nordics but also in the Baltic nations. When flying from Copenhagen to Tallinn, you flew over the Baltic Sea. The Nordic countries, that all were on the lucky side of the Iron curtain after WW2, had to look over the Baltic Sea for 45 years, watching our friends caught in a dystopian nightmare ,while colonised by Russia. Every summer, we saw desperate people caught behind the Iron curtain crossing the Baltic Sea on everything from inflated rubber tires, to homemade surfboards to escape that reality. Absurd that we now again have to see war in Europe, because of a dystopian Russian dictator. I really appreciate your comments regarding the history. So many Americans have no real idea today, how sad a situation it were. Only by remembering history can we prevent ourselves from making same mistakes again and again. Imagine how few years it were since they got out of Russia´s grip and how worn down their nations infrastructure and economy was. Now they are fast approaching Scandinavian standard and here we are SO happy and proud, how they have lifted themselves up by the hair, to move forward fast. Anyway, happy you could use the ticket info, just sad, now that I know you are a winter bather, that my info about our many beaches, did not reach you before. Many here start the day, year round, with a dip in the local waters. I am a middle aged man but my father were an airline pioneer, resulting in the entire family of 5 travelled the world, at a time were only the very rich did. It has brought me an international outlook, that have shaped my life positively. Your investments in experiences like that, will come ten fold back to your children. Congratulations with your choices. I am looking forward to see the rest of your trip.
I took my wife and kids there two weeks ago. The biggest takeaway for me was how genuinely friendly people were. Even the border guards let my 5 year old stamp our passports. Denmark is recommended by me! 🇩🇰
Agreed! It's a great destination full of wonderful people.
Glad you enjoyed Denmark

As a danish person, id like to say that youre welcome back any time :D
Have you done this - if so which is the best train
Dane here.
Fun fact: The guards at Amalienborg is top trained soldiers. They look goofy and harmless but they don't mess around. They will take action if a situation arises. 🤫

We still loved it. Being from Minnesota it felt like home in the winter.
Godt sagt🤗
This is probably one of the best "visit Denmark" i have ever watched,
Wow - Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you so much for coming the long way to our little country.
I am incredibly proud to be a Dane.
I am so happy to hear your reviews about our capital and the things it can offer.
next time you are here. then come and visit Jutland.
Best regards, Michael

Thank you so much for visiting our beautiful country. I think that Denmark are most beautiful in spring and summer. Our winter can be very grey.. Come back another time. Sweet family :)
Just love your sweet kids - amazing that the youngest one wanted to come back in 3 seconds even though he was already here :) Hope you all return
Would love to get back there sometime!!

Thank you very much for your positive view of our lovely little Denmark.
Copenhagen is one of my favourite places, so much contrast from Greenland/Nuuk were i live.
super cute narration from the kids too, happy you enjoyed Copenhagen

Great video as well!
What!?! That's crazy.
Its great to see you enjoyed my lovely Copenhagen 💛🇩🇰
It was amazing! Thanks for following our journey!!
Very good work with the filming of beautiful Copenhagen
Great video 🙂
Incredibly underrated channel! Would definitely recommend Odense as it is the third largest city in Denmark and has amazing architecture!
Thank you very much - great tip!!
Copenhagen is so beautiful in summer. I don't get why anyone would visit the other 11 months of the year.
It’s still a lovely place in the winter, but we’d love to get there in the summer sometime. Thanks for watching!!
Is fun to see people that is haveing a good time in My country My home contry
Copenhagen is an amazing city! You did well at showcasing that.
Thanks so much. We loved it!!
Nice vilogs

"There's a fine line between 'Little Mermaid' and 'Seamonster'." - HAHA, you made my day! 😂🤣

Egeskov Slot. Big castle museum 🏰
Ribe oldest city in Scandinavia.
This is just my favourites 😃 but there's plenty too look at. It would take many trips. To descover it all. Many many years.

Im from Danmark and Im happy you guys like copenhagen
As a Dane, I'm happy that you had a nice trip to Copenhagen :)
A year ago, my son was actually one of the Royal Life Guards, guarding Amalienborg, Rosenborg and other places.
You mentioned the train trip to the "LEGO area" ... it is in Billund, where the second largest airport is. And of course the original LEGOland is there.
That's so great! What an honor for your son. Another viewer mentioned the Queen doesn't stay in Amalienborg.. any idea who's there when the flags are raised?
@@wildgooselife Normally when the flags are raised and the guards are there she is present
@@wildgooselife
The Guards are always there.
But when the band is part of the changing, it's the so called "kongevagt".
That, and the Royal flag, shows that HM the Queen was at the Castle.
@@wildgooselife She resides many places, but Amalienborg is home. By resides I mean like staying at other castles during the year, like in the summer where she resides at Marselisborg in Århus, our 2nd largest city. Or on her yacht while traveling the Kingdome (Greenland and farao islands are part of the Danish Kingdome) and visiting parts of Denmark that isn't close to where she would otherwise reside or live. She also have a chateau in France where she visited a lot with her late husbond (who was French) - I dont know how often she has been since his passing - but she could if she wanted too. So yeah, she lives at Amalienborg, but has been (or is) traveling a lot and thereby not always "home" =)

More facts from Denmark. Bluetooth is named by a danish King called Harald Blåtand 😎
That's crazy! We had to look that one up 🤯
I love have well behaved and smart the kids are 💖👍
Love the video and just subscribed! You should do a video introducing your family, who you are, and why you’re traveling!! I love your style but I want to know about you all as well!

come in the summer, and visit Legoland, and you forgot Tivoli, one of the oldest Amusementparks in the world
Agreed!! We have to get back in the summer with the boys!
Tivoli is the second oldest amusementpark. "BAKKEN" is the oldest. Both in Copenhagen/ Greater Copenhagen.
Great to hear you had a good time here in Denmark 😊 Next time try exploring other parts of the country.
We would love to get back and explore outside of Copenhagen someday. Thanks for watching!!
This video is very well produced!

The Viking ship in the National Museum is the longest and largest ever found! It was found by accident, digging a new "Viking Harbour" to the side of "Ship Museum" in Roskilde, with the famous 5 ships, which was found as a barrier in the fiord. Its keel is full length, so we know how long it was. And we have more Roman swords found in Denmark, as sacrifices, than in the rest of the Roman Empire at all!!
At several places an Iron Age army has invaded Denmark and became beaten. At Nydam on Als their ships was taken to the moor and many weapons became sacrificed to Holy Powers in the moor! As also in Illerup to the north. It was insane amounts of valuable weapons which became bent and ruined before the sacrifices! But for a good reason. The locals had won!! And I suppose they kept a lot of the good stuff?
Sadly the mostly well preserved ship from Nydam moor became stolen by the Germans after the lost 1864 war and it is now exhibited at Gottorp in Germany!
Come back in the spring or summer. Its a totally diferent experience
You guys should really return to Denmark sometime in the summer and visit Jylland rent a vacation home visit our beautiful west coast beachs see the old ww2 bunkers. Visit Legoland or other amusement parks. Me and my girlfriend is living in Denmark, and we have a plan to travel across Denmark with bus to see the landscape and visit all the different towns all the way from Ribe (syd Jylland) to Aalborg (nord Jylland)
That sounds amazing!
First I am a dane and I used to love to go to Legoland. New owners changes it. Now it is absolutely horrible and crowded
Thanks for visiting Denmark, and please come again, Copenhagen is cool but the rest of Denmark has a lot to offer too, so glad you guys liked Copenhagen tho :0)
Yes!! We hope to make our way back sometime and explore beyond Copenhagen. Maybe even when it's warmer. 😁
@@wildgooselife Copenhagen in the summer is so nice
Wow the magnificent content on youtube that I have been watched🤍🤍. Try to visit Indonesia, you all guys will see the beautiful scenery also 😊
You're so kind - Thank you! What part of Indonesia would you recommend we look into?
Come back in the summer and try the pork roast sandwich under a tree with some music
And the Guards hats are made from a bears fur. And The Mermaid is the size of a mermaid, of course! And she has travelled to China some years ago. How many countries has the Statue of Liberty visited?
If you did go again, you should try the summer, it’s a different experience with a lot of outdoor activities!
That's what we hear - thank you for watching!!
By the way, I was a Tambour in the Royal life guard, and today i live just aside Nyhavn. And your are right, Denmark is amasing. The same is your country. For the last 12 years, i have a vercation in your country,.
Great video and I'm so glad you enjoyed our "little" country😀 But, if I can give you some pointers on places when you come back. Yes, copenhagen is our capital and is filled with history. But you mentioned Vikings. There's is Ribe, that was the first viking settlement here, Roskilde was a big trading city and later, burial site for our former kings and queens. We have the "old city" in Aarhus that dates back hundreds of years and is still standing. We have kronborg castle in Helsingør where i'm from, where Holger the dane, or Holger Danske, sits in the tombs waiting to fight if Denmark is invaded again. We have several viking museums all over Denmark and several churches going back ages, in Roskilde, Viborg, Aarhus, helsingor, Ribe. If you cime back, don't just limit it to copenhagen, if you wanna see danish history😉
So much to explore!! Hopefully we'll get back. And thanks for all of the recommendations... very much appreciated.
@wild goose : really great videos ....what camera do you use pls??
Thank you for watching!! Normally, Sony gear.., but to travel light in winter, this trip to Europe was solely shot on an iPhone 14 Pro.
(Fact about the rundetaarn) People actually used to jump off the building thinking they would survive, though that was like a million years ago. Yeah.. I'm pretty sure they did not have a fence. I'm not sure about this fact, but you could always search it up if you're curios.
That's crazy!
Glad you enjoyed it, shame you chose this time of year though. Mind you, Copenhagen is the most "international" place in Denmark - and thereby, by default, the least "Danish".
From the round tower you kan see all rhe way to Sweden
you should have tried the Andersen bakery at Islands Brygger. They are the ones making the buns for the gasolingrill
Good to know!!! Thanks so much!
the yellow castle is actually the Danish army military academy now. where they educate first lieutenants and captains.
Crazy high production value! Well done guys!
I hope you revisit our small country in the summer months. It's a totally different animal.
Wow thanks!! We loved our visit and can’t imagine its beauty in the summer. ❤️
I am come from Denmark 😅
Did you benefit in anyway to purchase the tix for Lego house from USA vs once once you reach Europe ?
While we actually haven't made it to Billund yet, from everything we read on blogs it's better to buy tickets online in advance rather than at the gate.. which is most likely what we would do. www.legoland.dk/en/tickets-passes/tickets/
When the train conductor has press the button to close the door, they can't stop the process as far as I have been told and that's why they didn't stop
Ah! Makes sense. Quite surprising. 🤣
@@wildgooselife But not really why or the truth. The Metro are a automated driverless train. Had you put your hand in the door it would have stopped, opened a bit, but not fully, before attempting to close again. Time lost would be won by a higher speed to next stop. Although you got separated I guess it were not for long. I do not know exact time between Metro´s going to the airport (guess it are a few minutes) but the Metro´s city ring are departing every 2 to 4 minutes 24/7 so no need to learn any timetable. I do not know if you used this option, but if you buy a 24 hour ticket, you can take as many trips you want for 80 Danish Kroner per head. You can buy it at the airport, the 24 hours do not start when you buy the ticket, but when you first time bleep yourself in for first trip.
Btw. Great to see that some frisky temperatures, did not seem to prevent you from having a great time here. Welcome back another time. If it are summertime then consider renting a bike, can be done via a simple app on your phone that unlocks the bike. If you want a less urban day then, I can recommend my own favourite beach, "Amager Strandpark". 15 minutes -ish from downtown Copenhagen,
@@Mike-zx1kx This is great info!! We took advantage of a 48 hour metro pass near the end of our trip, and it worked really well for us. Your info is fantastic and we wish we'd known going into the trip because we definitely made the mistake of buying 1-time-use tickets the first time we bought -and regretted it. 🫤 Thanks for the information! 😊
@@wildgooselife My pleasure, you are welcome. I thought so well of your video, that I also just watched the next one from Tallinn. I got to say, I suspect you have some Viking DNA in you! I am referring to your comments about history but also, not least, the winter bathing! It are an old tradition, not only in Scandinavia/the Nordics but also in the Baltic nations. When flying from Copenhagen to Tallinn, you flew over the Baltic Sea. The Nordic countries, that all were on the lucky side of the Iron curtain after WW2, had to look over the Baltic Sea for 45 years, watching our friends caught in a dystopian nightmare ,while colonised by Russia. Every summer, we saw desperate people caught behind the Iron curtain crossing the Baltic Sea on everything from inflated rubber tires, to homemade surfboards to escape that reality. Absurd that we now again have to see war in Europe, because of a dystopian Russian dictator. I really appreciate your comments regarding the history. So many Americans have no real idea today, how sad a situation it were. Only by remembering history can we prevent ourselves from making same mistakes again and again.
Imagine how few years it were since they got out of Russia´s grip and how worn down their nations infrastructure and economy was. Now they are fast approaching Scandinavian standard and here we are SO happy and proud, how they have lifted themselves up by the hair, to move forward fast.
Anyway, happy you could use the ticket info, just sad, now that I know you are a winter bather, that my info about our many beaches, did not reach you before. Many here start the day, year round, with a dip in the local waters.
I am a middle aged man but my father were an airline pioneer, resulting in the entire family of 5 travelled the world, at a time were only the very rich did. It has brought me an international outlook, that have shaped my life positively. Your investments in experiences like that, will come ten fold back to your children. Congratulations with your choices.
I am looking forward to see the rest of your trip.
And you spend a family holiday on your phone lovely 🙂
Next time you visit Denmark. poke me. Denmark is SO more then just Copenhagen. Let me and my family take you around and show you.
