Finland to Paris to Copenhagen...

This trip has definitely been worth the wait and we are all enjoying the adventures each day brings (except when we are lost and tired and hungry...which happens more than we would hope). Our current home base is the Imperial Hotel in Kobehavn (Copenhagen) and it has treated us the best of our various locations. Most Danish people have a strong grasp of English and I feel we flounder less with language barriers than we did even in Paris (and then I am not the official spokesperson for all things as I was in Paris).

Yesterday we did Legoland after a long wait for Findlay. It was quite a long drive from Copenhagen to Billund where Legoland is located. We rented a car and it was nice to have the freedom to go at our own pace. Andrew enjoyed driving quickly along the highways and we only had a challenge navigating on our way back to Copenhagen.

Findlay is as elated with what he bought at Legoland as much as visiting the place itself. There were Christmas elves on every Lego display all over the park and the kids really enjoyed getting their driving license in Legoland. They all were smiling ear to ear while doing that and they got an official license at the end. There weren't any Canadian flags for their licenses, so they chose the British flag and Danish one also.

Windmills were everywhere and all of them were going. We crossed the Nyborg-Korsor bridge, which was quite impressive and while we were crossing we saw a rainbow.

Today we plan to visit the Zoo, the Round Tower and tomorrow will be Tivoli Gardens, which looks spectacular all dressed in Christmas lights.

We are looking forward to the next leg of our journey where we take the kids to Edinburgh to meet family and discover Scotland. I expect they will enjoy hearing English spoken as the main language, but I also expect the accent will throw them for a loop!

Here are pics of the last few days....

This guy greeted us at the entrance.

Thought the scene was cute and noticed a familiar name.

Legoland done. Findlay was just ecstatic to have a new set to build!

Meredith driving in Legoland. Working stop lights, roundabouts and merges made for interesting driving.

Santa was everywhere in Legoland.

Notre Dame in Paris. 200 years to build. Worth the effort. Amazing.

Last meal in Paris.

Looking forward to going beyond the gates at Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen.
